Hi Jimmy..
Its a whole different ball of wax around kids... I ended up with mine living with me week about, and with one, full time. Being a computer jock, I was able to arrange my day to be there when they came home from school, and soon learned how to cook economically. Here(NZ), it is estimated to cost $250,000 to get a child to 18, and I've got 4. Plus the costs of becoming unmarried..... So I have explained to my dearest Yan why I am not a wealthy man, expecting to held to account for my poor choices.... And to my surprise, she saw it as a virtue to put home and hearth ahead of the bank. Different culture, different values; and a refreshing perspective. And now she wants to help care for my somewhat infirm mother... :-)
