People treat every single aspect of children as this huge financial burden to a point where its become accepted common knowledge, and its nothing more than a show of how retarded most people are.
Like, people kept reminding me that it was like 20k dollars to have a child in a hospital leading up to my first. And then the bill came at round 4k, expensive but not absurd, because as it turns out if you don't spend a week "recovering" in their bed and get out as soon as you're able you don't get charged as much.
The only legitimate concern is the babysitting versus two full time workers issue, which is hard to manage because those things are fucking expensive on any salary. But that's why you don't burn every bridge with your relatives over nonsense prior, like most people seem to do.
