Wait til you and the parents get a loom at what all the other accoutrements need to raise a child nowadays costs. A couple of years ago, I ran into an old acquaintance who was going through the "first grandchild" experience and she was in real shock over how much everything has gone up in price since she first gave birth to a child about 30 years ago. My belief is the retailers are gouging the families because the newer parents, not really knowing the difference just go ahead and pay those high prices, making it easier for the store to keep on raising prices...
