Bah, one of the Kids needs braces. The good news is that the clear braces are cheaper and will take less time AND will be less impactful in terms of sensory discomfort. Bad news is, it's still many thousands of dollars and even though we can pay it off slowly, it bites pun intended At least we have a couple of months to work on a manageable budget before he gets them but boooooo (even while I'm grateful that he can access this, and that the dentist is lovely and doesn't require all the payment at once and that I can hopefully get some extra freelance work to help cover some of it, still boooooo) #parenting #money #teeth #budget #healthcare
