Well DH got a raise of about $80/month on 9/1 so I thought just maybe we could be ahead just a tiny little bit although the price of everything is going up. Well I just got notice that daycare rates go up on 9/4 and they are going up for us $15/week.

We will now pay $370/week for daycare. I just don't know how everyone does it. It is getting to be so outrageously expensive. My mortgage payment is $980/month. My daycare bill is now $1603.33/month! We are daycare-poor!
I really like this daycare but we may have to start looking somewhere else. Unfortunately all the other centers around here are the same or higher so we would be looking a home care which I have some issues with. I almost feel like I have to put my kids in a situation I am not as happy or comforable with just so I can afford it.
Maybe it would not matter anyway. My DS has turned into a holy terror and is constantly getting in verbal fights all the time with all of the kids in his preschool class. None of them will play with him anymore anyway.

He refuses to listen and punishments seem to be having no effect on him lately. He simply does not care and I am getting to the point where I don't want to care either.
This cruise was really a major luxury and a splurge we probably should not be taking in the first place and now with all of this I just don't know. I still have not made our final payment yet and while it would kill me to cancel especially at this point I just don't know what to do.
