January 22 marks the beginning of what is widely believed to be the Year of the Golden Pig. What's so special about the Year of the Golden Pig, you ask?
Babies born in the "year of the golden pig" are believed to have good fortune and will lead a comfortable and wealthy life. People who believe in the year of the golden pig say the special year comes every 600 years. They came to this conclusion through calculations, using a combination of the Chinese zodiac and the yin and yang theory.
So, one of my coworkers who was recently married last Oct wants to have a baby this year because of the golden pig. He's Vietnamese and seems really into having a lot of kids (he wants 4, his wife only wants 2, haha) Anyways, so today we had a group luncheon and kids always seems to be a big topic of discussion. One coworker, who has a 3 year old son, sends him to pre-school/daycare during the day and it's $850/month, which is supposedly "a good deal"!!! If she wants to send him to Challenger, it's $1250/month!! O-M-G! SOOOO if we want to have 2-3 kids, and they're 1-2 years apart, we would potentially be spending $3k+/month on daycare/pre-school?!!! on top of our mortgage?!!! i now see why sometimes it's more cost effective for women to be stay at home moms. yikes. kids are expensive!!
Sooooo...who wants to have a baby born in the year of the golden pig?? ;P
