My twins are in the right age to be enrolled into kindergarten (pre-school). They will be 4 this May. So today we went 'shopping' for pre-school. Expensive shopping, that one. Their registration alone cost Rp.100-thou apiece. Their entrance fee will be hovering around 4 to 5 mio per head (no discount for twins), and their tuition in the like of Rp. 200 thou per month.
Kids come with astronomical price tags nowadays, if you want to keep tab. First, the monthly check (and vitamins, and food, and mommy's new clothings) when they were still in their mommy's tummy. Then the bank-breaking fee for delivering them, especially if they have to be taken out with a cesarian. After that, their formulas, diapers, toys, food, etc. Then comes school years. Not to mention non-formal activities: going to the malls, picnics, eating out. And the health maintenance: vaccination doesn't come free.
But then again, you can't count the price on miracles.
