School is great! Summer is great! The days are long and hot and beautiful! I've got tons of time to spend with my 3 girls............and yet......I don't have the spendable cash that I'm accustomed to (that I gave up willingly to go to school full-time) spend doing things we all enjoy.
My kids expect certain things each week. They expect to go swimming at the Y 2x a week at 2bucks a pop plus snacks. That's 18 dollars a week on swimming. They expect to go skating once a week. That's 12-15 dollars. They expect to go see Grandparents at LEAST once a month. That's a 3 hour trip one way. about 30-40 in gas and another 20-30 in food/snacks/drinks...
So, how are you helping your kids adjust to the NEW standard of living??
I'm evidently sucking at it..a.s i've spent the morning scrounging for pennies to make their weekly trip to the Y.
