birthday gift ideas age 50 image
xxnerdyxgr
I am doing a project in health called baby cost analysis. We are trying to find out how much it costs to take care of a child for the first year of life. I need a few ideas of what to put in. (like what foods, how many diapers you use, how much you spend on clothes that year, what furniture you buy, etc.) If you could help me out I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

Well i'd have to think about that actually! i have 4 kids, so ill just give you a run down of the starter supplies i got and then how much food, diapers and clothes i bought in ONE months time for just ONE child.
starter stuff-
12 oneses- pack of 4 cost $8
12 pack of socks- $4
12 jumpers 3 pack of jumpers-$8-$12
12 footless sleepers, 3 pack of footless sleepers- $8
4 blankets- $10 a piece
12 recieving blankets i used as burp clothes, 4 pack-$8-$10
baby nail clippers-$2
snot getter (that blue thing you suck snot out of noses with)-$1
Crib-$400
dresser-$250
change table-$250
towels-$10 for nice ones, $3 for regular towels (which i prefer)
baby hangers- 6 pack-$4
baby tub (if wanted)-$12-15
Stroller-$150-$350
portable travel crib-$150-$250
Carseat-$60-200, plus a forward facing seat at age 2 $100-$300, and finally a booster chair for older child, around $40-$80
The occasional purchases-
baby tylenol-$10
baby motrin-$10
mylicon-$10
baby lotion-$5
and other medications- orajel, teething tabs, teething rings, little noses, little tummies (and all medications w/the brand name Little _fill in the blank_)- ranging in price from $2-$10
toys during age appropriate times- anywhere from $5 to $40
Clothing purchased every other month or every 4 months during growth spurts-$150-$300
monthly purchases-
Diapers- 4-6 packs of diapers per month- $10-$15 a piece
Baby shampoo-$5 a bottle
Baby wash-$5 a bottle
Baby food- usually 50-60 cents per jar, when buying around 12-14 jars twice a month
baby cereal-$2-4 per box
baby juices-$5 for a 4 pack
baby snacks-$2-4 per box
Perscription medications when sick-
yearly around $50-$150
and omg there's just so much more when you consider trips needing extra things like smaller travel strollers, diaper bags, special snacks that are travel size or packaged better for travel, shoes when they start walking and it's cold (mine dont wear shoes in the summer unless we are at the park), replacement toys that get lost, replacement socks that get eaten in the dryer, LOL, birthday gifts, holidays, etc.
I don't even want to think about how much i've spent on my 4 children over the last 13 yrs! i just might pass out!
oh btw- i didn't include formula which might be around $150-$200 per month, because i breast fed mine...so should i have included my own nursing clothes? oh well.

I need help with the wording of birthday invitation for my moms 50th?
Cj T
My mom has had a hard year May of 2008 my brother passed away. How do i word the invite so that it will be an upbeat party. I want to make sure that no one brings any over the hill or RIP gifts/gag gifts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
What a wonderful idea, to have a birthday party for your Mom! What a great child you must be!
If your guests all know that your mother lost a son (and you a brother--my heart goes out to you for your loss) then I think people will be respectful in general. Regarding jokes about her age? Just tell people in your invitation that you're having a birthday party for your mom--no need to bring the '50' up. Say that your family wants to celebrate your love for your great mom with a birthday party this year.
....and don't worry yourself if someone does make a wisecrack about her age. There's only so much you can control, and your mother will be able to handle it just fine no matter what. By giving your mother a big party, you're doing more than most adult children would do for their parent. It says, "I love you" in a big, BIG way. What a lovely act of love on your part!
Your love light is shining bright--Your mother will cherish your thoughtfulness forever.
