I am 'friends' with another mums website on Facebook. Ive never actually posted on that website as I actually prefer you 'orrible lot.
Anyway, one of their burning questions was : Its estimated to cost £9k to raise a child in its first year of life. How much have you spent?
Que lots of women making their/there and they're mistakes describing how their child had only 'the best' and they spent that much easily and everything was brand new. The first few comments, I laughed. By comment 82 I was thinking, hang on, am I the only woman in the world who has only bought second hand clothes (vests are new or gifts) second hand toys and gets the majority of stuff off ebay?
By the end I started to feel a bit like Im in the poor house! (We arent poor, I just see no reason to spend shed loads of money on stuff that will be sicked or poo-ed on)
AIBU to not consider brand new to always be 'the best'?
