Monthly living expenses with a child

I really can't contain myself here anymore... so brilliant....

I will soon divide our net income after fixed costs by four and let my boys aged 1.5 and 3 years really go wild... It's going to be a blast...
Sorry albert, but you really live far from any reality. Your son (by the way, apparently an only child according to stereotypes) already makes me feel sorry for him when he lives outside the home for the first time and tries to manage on his own. I hope he has someone nearby who irons his clothes, cleans the toilet, does the shopping for him, and makes his sandwiches...
I just had to get that off my chest.

Are you jealous that you hope that?

He helps with the household, of course, we also shared these tasks.
Oh yes, he also decided among other things when, where, and how construction took place.

I have a gas heating system, a sailboat, and a Samsung.
Car is a Citroen, that doesn’t count, right?

So far, I thought Sebastian was somewhat overreacting, but now I would like to respond on the same level as you. However, my personal decency does not allow it.

He is fully independent by now, I can't understand where you see him being controlled by others.
It is probably like that with you and now you are projecting it onto others.

Yes, it is like that with us, but it also has to do with the fact that our eldest is only 2.5 years old and our son has just started crawling. Anything else would be neglect. Nevertheless, she will not get a cell phone for 500€, even though she would like one and my wife and I each have one.

Change yourselves then it can be like that with you too.

No, thank you, I gladly refrain from that. My children should not only become independent in terms of spending money but also in real life. That is my attitude and I forbid any further insinuations on your part.

And unfortunately I also have to entertain my training participants at the same time, otherwise I would do that too *g*.

As one can admiringly acknowledge, a model family, my respect. Whether that suits everyone is debatable. Maybe discuss it again in 2 years, when the son has come of age. But the original poster probably won't get any further with his initial question. Possibly the topic of the child has already been discarded again.......
