This story is too close to me. I don't have children but my siblings does and boy, I'm always grateful I didn't have children after hearing and see how much children costs. The monthly tuitions for playground school (for 2-5 yrs old) are 3-4 salary of average ppl here. Monthly. That's not include yearly tuitions, school coverage, extra curriculums, health and sport tuitions etc etc. 1 year total tuitions is around $5-10.000! And this is before they reach kindergarten age. Children are expensive! !
