Just ahead of Mother’s Day, one of my all-time favorite online retailers zulily has compiled data outlining some of the challenges modern moms face?rising costs, included.
The data shows:
- Most moms would want Julia Roberts (37%) to babysit their kids, while very few would trust Kim Kardashian West (3%) to do the job.
- Raising a child over the first 18 years has risen in cost from $25,230 in 1960, to a whopping $245,340 in 2014– that’s an 872% increase. Even considering inflation, the price has increased by about $43,234.91.
- A car seat has increased in price from around $11.24-$43.69 in 1960, to $90-350+ in 2013.

I browse Zulily most mornings before starting my work day and I have purchased from them several times (my weakness is cute little girl dresses). I just love buying stuff for my family at awesome prices. Raising kids is definitely not easy but at least getting a deals on cute clothes and toys can be done at Zulily.
