<prompt> Human: Its basically a given that kids will cost extra by necessity-- extra food, extra housing, childcare, etc. But there are also expenses when raising a family that are technically optional, but perhaps important. What other things that cost money are important to you in raising a family?e.g. housing type and location, education, enrichment activities, vacations, etc. Id also be interested in how these extras fit into the budget, if youve gotten that far.  <response>: Dance classes, zoo memberships, toys, sports teams, hair cuts, extra costs when eating out. If you drive, vacations dont really cost any more other than food and activity costs.
