What was the biggest "hidden" cost of raising a child in Singapore that no one warned you about during the planning stage?

Your time

Anguish

I’m not a parent, but one thing I noticed from people around me is that the hidden cost is not just money, it’s also time and energy. Once you have a child, convenience becomes expensive. So the cost is not only the child’s expenses, but the whole lifestyle quietly becoming more expensive.

Medical fees, physio therapy and mental health bills...kids are build different these days lol - those who know will know what Im talking about
