We are coming up on Mother’s Day in a typical “fast + furious” way. The days are flying by. While I typically never talk about kids or parenting, this is going to be one time that I do because of this fabulous infographic created to present the results of surveys and questionnaires that Moms answered !
Online retailer zulily [zulily.com] asked moms what challenges they face every day. You can imagine the kinds of responses depending on the age (and number) of children in that family!
What did they find?
>> CHOOSY MOMS CHOOSE JULIA
Most moms would want Julia Roberts (37%) to babysit their kids, while very few would trust Kim Kardashian West (3%) to do the job.
>> A CHILD IS 872% MORE EXPENSIVE
Raising a child over the first 18 years has risen in cost from $25,230 in 1960, to a whopping $245,340 in 2013– that’s an 872% increase. Even considering inflation, the price has increased by about $43,234.91.
>> CAR SEATS USED TO BE CHEAP
A car seat has increased in price from around $11.24-$43.69 in 1960, to $90-350+ in 2013.
Thanks to Zulilly.com for this really insightful — and fun– infographic!
Have a great Mother’s Day!

Wow, the expense chart is really revealing. Some of that baby swag has really gotten expensive!!! Glad to be out of the market. I would not trust Kim to babysit either
