That's not high at all.

I usually hear that by he time your child is grown you have put almost one million dollars into their expenses, so looking at it from that perspective it's not high, although you should not pay it because if you raise a kid you're expected to pay for it, part of being apparent I'd assume.

lol I love the that's not high at all- you my friend obviously have never had a child just preparing to have the baby is about 5,000 roughly and that's if you have medical insurance covering the prenatal care, birth and hospital care for the child it's around 776,000 to care for a child for 18 years assuming they don't go to Harvard or Princeton

You're right, no kids. After seeing how much they cost and what little brats they are, I think I'm lucky as hell. Plus the fact if I reproduced, I'd give birth to to the evilest little shit ever.

Good idea. But OP could also tell his dad that he'll pay him $27,601 when his dad gives OP's grandpa $27,601!

children can't sign any legal contracts at all so only expenses after 18 could be sued for but without a signed agreement and for sake of not looking like a complete dead beat ass of a parent he needs to say lol j/k to his son

Same here.
