    Daycare budget

    Hello everyone,

    For comparison purposes, would you mind giving us a rough picture of your daycare budget? Is it hard to stick to it?

    I usually take one of my children's payments and make that the amount I can put into activities for the month - craft supplies, new toys, etc. That leaves the rest of the money towards household expenses and my income. It's hard to set a budget since many of the expenses are things we would be doing anyways like paying hydro and for other expenses it is a portion of the amount spent such as groceries. Again things like consumables - food, paper towels, toilet paper, should not exceded the income from one child. That leaves 3 children to cover the household expenses. In times when I have an opening the money goes towards the household and groceries and I add less new things to the environment.
