Newsflash: kinderen zijn lief, maar zo DUUR?

1. Het ene sluit het andere niet uit

[After son breaks something]
ME: This is why we can’t have nice things!
HIM: I thought money was why we couldn’t have nice things.
ME: *Trying to keep my anger momentum* There can be more than one reason for only having crappy things!

2. Je krijg er zo veel voor terug…

Welcome to parenthood.

Hope you like hearing “THERE’S NOTHING TO EAT!” right after you just spent your life savings at the grocery store.

3. Deze twee dingen kunnen niet echt naast elkaar bestaan

If I had enough money to bribe my kids way into college it probably means I didn’t have kids in the first place.

4. Niks leuker dan kijken hoe andere mensen jou geld opeten

My hobbies include: working really hard to earn money and watching my kids eat every penny of it.

5. 6 jaar, 2 kinderen en 3 faillissementen later…

Shampoo Shopping, 1st Child:
This $27 bottle has all pure, plant based ingredients grown in a country that has never supported a dictatorship & that only allows free range chickens. Sold!

6 yrs, 2 kids later: This generic dishwashing liquid shouldn’t take off too much skin.

6. Als je het zo bekijkt, is het eigenlijk geen geld

Nobody mentioned that having kids was just a very expensive way of curating an interactive and quite thorough list of all your most annoying personality traits.

7. Van wie zou hij dat nou hebben?

My son walks around all day talking about how he wants to order sushi and go to Target, so yeah, we’re definitely blood-related.

8. Dat telt op hoor, al die etentjes, uitjes en feestjes die je nu moet missen

Sure kids cost roughly $14,000 annually, but think about all the money you save from no longer having a social life.

9. Kijk, dat scheelt dan weer!

I offer my kids $500 for every A on their report card. It sends the message that education is a priority in our household and it costs me absolutely nothing since my kids aren’t that bright.

10. Is dat nou zo veel gevraagd?

I want my kids to have a fun childhood, but like a lazy, quiet kind of fun that doesn’t cost anything.
