Children are expensive, but are they worth it? It’s astounding to me how many people think the answer is no. That so many married couples (who are able to have and care for children) decide not to do so is one of the greatest tragedies of our modern time. Some of the greatest gifts and lessons in life come from having kids. The fact that so many people are missing out on these gifts is not only already apparent in the deficiencies of our society, but will likely have further negative consequences in the generations to come.
Of course the sacredness of marriage, the family, and the dignity of the human person in general is at the core of it all. But here is a cute video of a few of the direct benefits of having kids.The video is a little slow, but worth the watch. So just relax a few minutes, watch, and reflect:

Children cost you the world and gain you eternity, therefore they give you more than you could ever give them.
I love this post. That question of how much children cost has been asked for many years. My daughter’s blog post for Of Sound Mind and Spirit, titled “What Every Catholic Mom Longs For…and Prays for” is like an accompanying piece to yours.

interesting…but I don’t know if children cost the amount given in the video because I know many families who do not make that much money and yet can afford to take care of and raise their children
KIDS COST ALOT!!
