[QUOTE="Star*, post: 244695, member: 4964"] Think about this - because I'm not sure this Mom did....but (no pun intended) and averaging on the high side... The average newborn has 4-6 diaper changes a day, every day for about 2 years. So that would be 6 diapers x 7 days a week - 42 diapers a week x 4 weeks a month or 168 diapers a month x 12 months or 2016 diapers a year x 2 years or 4036 diapers. The average pack of Huggies, Luvs or Pampers.....is around $12.00 and has varying amounts in each pack per size but lets just say - there are 30 in a pack. 4036 diapers divided by 30 or roughly 135 packs of diapers in a 2 year span @ $12 is $1620.00. For the Mother of the Octouplets - JUST for diapers on a rough estimate is....$12,960.00.....in diapers for two years. Not even taking into consideration - wipes, talcum powder, desitin and DISPOSAL of said waste. To go further - To afford JUST diapers for ONE year - or $6480.00 at a better than minimum wage job of roughly $7.50 you would have to work 864 hours or TWENTY ONE weeks 8 hours a day JUST for diapers for 1 year. TWENTY ONE weeks 8 hours a day 5 days a week at $7.50 an hour JUST for diapers that will be filled, disposed of - NOT TO MENTION how labor intensive changing just ONE poopy diaper is. :sick: WOW - FIVE MONTHS plus one week - Monday thru Friday 8 am - 5 pm JUST FOR 1 year of diapers...and I may add - WHO would be changing these diapers while you are at your minimum wage job? Even if she got a job paying $14 an hour - that's still 2 1/2 months of working 5 days a week 8 hours a day for 10.5 weeks for diapers. Now - if she does get a PhD in psychology maybe she can do this - but the reality of that idea is that by the time she get's her degree - which I think takes 6 years? Her kids will long be out of diapers. [/QUOTE]
