Can We Get 15% Off Our Apprehension?
The idea of having children is exciting and we're getting caught up in all of it. However, kids come at a cost and we went to Babies "Я" Us yesterday to get a better idea of the expenses associated with having children. We came away with a rough idea of the money it would take to outfit the nursery and all the gear we'd need for daily uses, outings and all the rest; it was pretty easy, too. Babies "Я" Us seemingly has everything we'd ever need for the first few years of the little one's life except for one thing we needed...
Do they make something to help calm the nerves that result from a trip to a place like Babies "Я" Us? It's as if we left our life as we know it at the automatic sliding door and stepped right into our future as it closed swiftly behind us. Baby and kid stuff everywhere! After some initial rejection, we accepted our situation bravely and went about earmarking the practicals and refused to get too carried away. You can only see so many strollers in one day.
