Blessings, beasts and burdens

Article Abstract:

There can be many hidden costs associated with bringing up children. Indeed, a court in the UK has estimated that the overall cost of raising a child is 110,000 pounds sterling. Small children require a great deal of equipment, such as car seats and pushchairs, and tend to waste a lot of food. They also require many nappies, at considerable expense. However, it is important to remember that there are many positive aspects to having children, including the fact that they can be very loving and amusing.
