I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

It really depends where you live and if you have accessible family help.
New dad here… 6 month old. So far it’s been mostly nothing because we got TONS of hand me downs from friends and family. That cut our initial costs on basic play mats, toys, clothing to nothing.
Childcare for us is going to be a little under $600 a week to do a nanny share so that’ll be brutal. Near term I think we will have some pricier expenses around swim classes and stuff like that, but I don’t expect too much of that. Childcare as mentioned by everyone is what I’m anticipating is the real kick in the teeth.
Ya know… unless the kid plays travel lacross or hockey. That stuff is stupid pricey.
It depends… our biggest expense is a part time nanny at 2-2.5k a month and then my wife probably spends 500-1000 on random baby stuff a month?
Wasn’t bad at all for us. Can’t put a figure on it, but we didn’t have a nanny or any sort of childcare. We didn’t formula feed.
We took stuff second hand from my wife’s sister which saved a lot of money on things like clothes. A lot of big ticket items and random things come from the baby shower.
Really wasn’t that bad at all when only considering necessities.
Baby’s mom. I was in school at the time so was actually home quite a bit. Even if I wasn’t, it would have been my wife.
She had a career but put it on pause. So I guess there’s the opportunity cost of not having her income.
Childcare expenses are a killer. Everything else really wasn’t that bad, for us at least.
Daycare is expensive and buying extra plane tix is annoying but otherwise it’s not that different. I’m terrified of having a teen who has fine taste
My wife just showed me a sample pack of “luxury diapers” that she wants to “just try out to see”. So idk man…it depends 😂
