I just took Porter to the orthodontist for the first time for a consultation. After hearing about the "Phase 1" work that was recommended, and the price tag involved, Kevin says ...
'Porter's going to have to work a long time without allowance to pay off his orthodontics."
Porter, of course, is only 9-years old:). His father then adds on,
"He'll be like an indentured servant."
Ha! Poor kid. He doesn't even want the painful, unsightly work done in the first place, and now he's on track to become our personal slave for basically the rest of his life (especially once we hit "Phase 2" ... yikes!).
Sorry, Porter. We will try to be kind masters;).

I totally sympathize with you! One of ours is almost finished with "Phase 2" with the possibility of a "Phase 3" a couple of years down the road. We have now have been doing ortho for almost 7 years between 3 of the kids. By the time we are done, I think we could have bought a small island in the Caribbean. Hmmm.... I think I would like a small island much better than the pain and agony of listening to the kids complain about their braces!
