Kitty Flanagan on the cost of raising kids – The 7pm Project


Also go to goodparentingtipsblog.com for good parenting tips. Kitty Flanagan on the high cost of raising children – The 7pm Project (Australia) 7pmProject.com.au Broadcast date 16 August 2011 – No copyright infringement intended. Produced by Roving Enterprises. Uploaded by Rove Online – RoveOnline.com (unofficial) Got a lazy $600000 lying around? Boy, do we have an investment for you. Sleepless nights. Dirty nappies. Crying baby. Do young glamour couple Bec Cartwright and Lleyton Hewitt know what they’ve got themselves into? More to the point, do they have any idea what this parenting business will cost them? Probably not. Most people don’t, according to Dr Paul Henman from the University of Queensland’s Social Policy Unit, part of the School of Social Work and Applied Human Sciences. "Most new parents don’t have much idea about the cost of raising a child," he says. "They look at whether they can afford it, but on a day-to-day basis. The overall cost of raising a child to the age of 18 comes as a surprise." According to a study conducted by the Australian Institute of Family Studies back in 1994, a first child was calculated to cost around $3000-$13000 in the first year alone. When you take into consideration the upfront costs of every year after that, along with the hidden costs of loss of earnings for the primary carer (estimated to be around $160000 by the AIFS in 2001), well, the figure starts to look quite scary. So what’s the figure? Well, brace

Raising a spoiled “Brat”?

Question:
I hate to call my daughter a spoiled brat but that is exactly what she is. We punish her time out going to her room no spanking, but nothing seems to work. She is sassy, rude and plan mean to me especially. I was raised with spankings and turned out just fine. Im wondering if this is how I should start to punish her.

I work in an elementary school and I would say over 75% of kids today are brats and I wonder if this is from the lack of discipline in homes? You don’t have to work in school to notice it either just go around children. Is it just me or does anyone else see this.

I’m not saying the reason is because few ppl spank I don’t know the reason all I need a is advice on how to get an 8 yr old to show me respect.
I do take tv, video games, computer, ect. away from her its just so hard sometimes. I mean for her grandparents even to my husband she is the perfect little angel that is what they see. (My husband gets both sides but mostly the angel side). I have been a stay at home mom my husband is in the military, now I work at her school. So we are always together I wonder if this might play a part in her behavior toward me. The past few years I have completely cut back on buying her things except holidays and birthday. She isn’t always a brat I mean she is my baby (an only child) and has her moments. Its just take this past weekend we took her to see the lights at Dollywood and took her cousin (her idea) she acted like a 2 yr old waiting for a show it was soo embarrassing When your out in public and this happens what do you do? My hubby straighten her out by telling her he would take her out and spank her. People around us started looking at him like we abused her or something. I’m Lost
I wanted to say she does play outside mostly (takes after her father loves to be outside in the pool, on the trampoline, or just playing. Someone said something about her going out and getting fresh air, she does, but she also plays video game and watches tv on occasion also.

I want to thank everyone for their advice. I do blame myself I don’t know where I went wrong at. When she turned 9 months we moved to Italy and thats when I started the spoiling I just felt like we had took her whole family away (grandparents) and i wanted to fill the void we both had I guess. Now trying to correct my mistake is going to take time and paitence I guess. But again Thanks

Sometimes greatness is measured by possessions or power and parents become preoccupied with raising “resume” and “pedigree” children.

According to Kimmel, preparing your children to determine what they will do (their mission), who they will do it with (their mate), and who they will do it for (their master) is the greatest gift you could give them.
