Archives for 2010

Today was launch day…

October 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment

…sort of.  We still have to add a lot of content, fix a bunch of bugs and finish our coupons and shopping comparison sections but we did take the design and format live today for whatever that is worth.

The site may not look like much right now but we are going to work hard turn it into one of the best parenting resources online.  Since the site isn’t actually ready for anyone to view it and consume our content, it was a very quiet launch that only me, my wife and web designer actually participated in.  But that’s alright, you have to start somewhere!

Kids Ain't Cheap

So what do you think of the site?

Kids Ain’t Cheap But They Sure Are Worth It!

October 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Kids Ain't CheapWelcome to KidsAintCheap.com. This site was put together by parents, for parents. My goal is to build a web site that will allow all of us to become smarter consumers and maybe even slightly better parents.

Who runs Kids Ain’t Cheap?

My name is Robert but for the most part, I got by GiantRobo online. Why? Well for starters I am a geek. I like comic books, sci-fi, fantasy and anime so the whole giant robot thing always appealed to me. I have other hobbies but they have nothing to do with my online persona. Secondly, I am 6’6” so to most people, the giant title suits me. This is not my only site but it is the one I am most passionate about.

In addition to that, I am married to a wonderful woman named Stephanie and I have two of the most amazing boys anyone could have ever asked for. Our oldest, Harrison, is 4 ½. His brother is Sean and he is 2 ½. They are opposites in many ways but they get along well (for the most part). Nothing makes me happier than seeing those two boys play together.

I am a business man by nature and desire but not all of my ventures have been successful. One of my businesses ran for several years but ended in complete failure and left me and my family with a lot of debt. More debt than most people could ever imagine possible so it’s not really worth talking numbers. I am proud to say that despite the gargantuan amount of money I owe to unfriendly people, I have never filed bankruptcy and am working my way back to a debt free state.

It’s a long road and I didn’t want my decisions to impact my family any more than it had to. Despite our poor financial health, we have managed to provide our boys with love, a good home, healthy meals and if I do say so myself, a damn good life so far. We have had to cut a lot of corners and work the system in order to provide for our children. Our goal for this site is to help you do the same no matter what your financial predicament may be.

We all know that kids ain’t cheap but I am here to once again say they are more than worth the effort.

Parents are a hot demographic. Meaning, companies want to get there message in front of parents because parents buy a lot of things. They buy things for themselves, they buy things for their spouse and they buy things for their kids. With all of this brilliant marketing and advertising being directed at us, it can sometimes be tough to tell the good products from the bad. We will do our best to review as many products as we can and post those reviews in this section. Our reviews will be honest and will reflect that reviewers honest take on the product.

Basic Principles Of Good Parenting

Here some basic principles for good parenting:

  1. What You Do Matters: Your kids are watching you. So, be purposeful about what you want to accomplish.
  2. You Can’t be Too Loving: Don’t replace love with material possessions, lowered expectations or leniency.
  3. Be Involved Your Kids Life: Arrange your priorities to focus on what your kid’s needs. Be there mentally and physically.
  4. Adapt Your Parenting: Children grow quickly, so keep pace with your child’s development.
  5. Establish and Set Rules: The rules you set for children will establish the rules they set for themselves later.  Avoid harsh discipline and be consistent.
  6. Explain Your Decisions: What is obvious to you may not be evident to your child. They don’t have the experience you do.
  7. Be Respectful To Your Child: How you treat your child is how they will treat others.  Be polite, respectful and make an effort to pay attention.
