This is now quite off-topic and you _do_ not have to respond if you don’t want to. I would be interested to know how old you were when your son was born. Rhineland greetingsWhoever keeps their child so short awakens desires.
Hello,
That is probably the explanation why the budget for your groceries can be kept comparatively low. If daycare and cafeteria lunches were omitted, the sum would look different for you; unless you send everyone to daycare and university with the well-known Henkelmann.
In the past (80s to early 90s), when our two babies were still small, I did the same; and yes, it’s true – shopping healthy and cooking yourself was and is overall cheaper than fast food & co. Nevertheless, DM 100.00 remained every week at the butcher and almost the same amount again at the market, as well as in the grocery store. That was until I got to know a farmer from whom I then bought half a pig and a quarter of a cow every six months. If I’m not mistaken, for DM 9.00 per kilo for pork and DM 11.00 for beef; of course all parts included, even with flomen & co.
But only a few families have this “luxury” and, let’s be honest, it also takes time to shop healthy and cook daily. In families where one parent cannot take care of the children full-time until school age, necessarily more money has to be spent on groceries. This then continues in all further purchases. The one who wants to live consciously would never, ever think of shopping at Verona’s kik. Second-hand clothes are always possible up to a certain age; the clothes hardly have a chance to break. But after that, it becomes suddenly and permanently more expensive; the babies simply grow too fast. Just thinking about how much we paid for shoes...
Therefore, I think that a value “x” for groceries, applicable to every family, cannot be fixed. The respective situations/demands in families are too individual.

I think child labor is dumb, I get more out of him when he learns to further educate himself, also in sports. There is no time left for work. And I don't punish him for that. You can carry on if you can still look at yourself in the mirror, ok. We are so happy as a family, surely also because I don't put my son under capitalist pressure yet. GreetingsExactly, and because everyone is equal, everyone has to bring in the money.
It's stupid when you contradict yourself. And now you forcefully construct things that weren't even mentioned here - among other things, you accuse me of living feudal and making my child starve.
THAT is disrespectful!
My children would do that too - they have something from us and earn their own money - in my eyes, there's nothing better, because spending money earned yourself is much cooler than money given. And that way they notice the difference - in that sense, my children would then have more than yours.
Who keeps his child so restricted awakens desires.
Mine doesn’t have those because he knows he will be treated equally and won’t be restricted because someone else begrudges it him.
Yes, I also know such families. The son is almost 30, has started his third degree, and has hardly earned a single penny himself, everything paid by mom and dad. And yes, he is also intelligent and diligent. But only with things he enjoys, and work certainly isn't one of them. I don’t want that for my children. But fortunately, there are different styles, different children, and sometimes both fit together, sometimes not. These blanket judgments and generalizations unfortunately don’t work here.We as a family are so happy, surely also because I do not yet put my son under capitalist pressure.
