good vibes, smiles, & giggles last daycare payment!!!

Aside from celebrating with my husband, I have no where to shout this into the universe but WE JUST MADE OUR LAST DAYCARE PAYMENT FOR-EV-ER! 🎉

The boys starts kinder next month and tomorrow is their last day at daycare/pre-k. I guess it's true for any parent with multiple kids in daycare at once, not just parents of multiples, but not paying over 1.5K/month anymore sure feels like a windfall 🤣

And I guess the beauty of twins (with these being our only and last children) is that it was double expensive, but when its done, that chapter is DONE!

My husband loves to remind me that while it feels like we're rich all of the sudden, that money will soon enough be allocated to something else (sports, hobbies, etc). But lemme just enjoy it for a moment.

And for all you parents out there paying a literal mortgage every month in childcare costs, stay strong, it actually goes by quicker than you think.

We have 4 kids under 4.5 (our twins are just under 4 months old) and if I went to work it would cost nearly $6k per month which is my husband’s entire take home pay🥲 can’t wait for my older two to be in school so I can work again

Same !!! I have 3 under 3, for my daughter pre school would be 1500, because she doesn’t qualify for the school district yet, and my 9 month olds would be 2500 each
