<p>Love it cpt…we should move to the cafe and discuss the cost of raising boys! (And feeding them and their friends…constantly…they can clean out a kitchen in 10 minutes flat) I watch my girlfriends’ daughters eat one strawberry, or nibble on a carrot and call that a meal. When all 3 of mine were home I had people ask at the grocery store as I barely could wheel my cart if I was having a large party and when I told them I had three teenage athletic boys over 6 feet tall say “oh I’m so sorry” plus boys eat 5 times a day. Breakfast, lunch, after school, dinner and evening. Oh my gosh the cost of feeding and raising boys…perhaps that is why girls pay for weddings. It’s the bonus moms of boys get for feeding and paying for them when they are teens.</p>
<p>One positive is that I think boys cost less in college…they rarely do laundry, food service feeds them at the same price as girls as much and as often as they require and they don’t “decorate their dorms” or require massive amount of sheets and towels or new clothes every season and they can make fun on campus without spending money.</p>
