Being a mother is the best
feeling in the world. The joy that your baby can give you is incomparable; you
can’t attain it any other way. The babies are so tiny and cute and dependable,
all you want is to protect them from everything in the world.
However, once you get down from
the high of joy, you start realizing something is wrong with your budget. And
upon close observation, the revelations were pretty surprising for me.
So, all the new parents out
there, let me warn you about the increase in your budget that comes with the
baby and mind you, it has nothing to do with the regular baby expenses.
Let’s unveil the truth about the
things that you might want to spend on after the baby;
1. The new clothes for the mother
After delivery, neither your body
will be as huge as it was during the pregnancy nor it will switch to it before
pregnancy condition immediately. So you need new clothes that can fit your post
pregnancy body. Also, you will be feeding the baby so you require convenient
clothes.
After the baby, you are expected
to attend a celebratory party or two so of course, you have to shop something
fancy for that. In the end, you have to fill your wardrobe with plenty of
clothes and it is going to cost money.
2. Takeout food was a routine
Taking care of a newborn is a
full-time job. If it’s your first baby, you will find it even more challenging
to take care of him or her. It will be common for you to seek professional
assistance for your other jobs. Get ready to eat takeout food more than ever
since most of the days you won’t have time to cook.
3. Housecleaning service
Housecleaning service will be on
your speed dial since you will need them to cater your house as you are busy
with the baby. Again, housecleaning will be an addition to your budget every
month.
4. Uber is the only mode of
transportation
Uber seems like the only public
mode of transportation as it is really hard to travel any other way. There will
be a huge baby bag, baby carry cot, and the baby so you can see why Uber seems
the right option. Also, Uber cost more than subway trains.
5. More bed sheet sets for the
room
Since the baby will spend a lot
of time in your bedroom and on your bed and they like to create mess
everywhere. You will find yourself changing the bed sheets more often than you
used to. And that will start showing soon in your budget as you will buy more
bed sheet sets.
I was lucky enough since I knew
about izzz.com.au to buy online bed sheet sets in
Australia. Although purchasing extra bed sheet sets dented the budget a bit, I got a great deal from this online shop on bed sheet sets.
