Collective noun for children

[robert551069]

It was announced on TV yesterday that it costs over £200,000 to raise a child, including university fees, wedding costs and so on. I would, therefore, like to propose a new collective noun "A taxation of children" ( It is great to have children, however, and I have three adult children and six grandchildren and think it is money well spent)

I'd like to see how they costed that out. For example not every child is going to have wedding costs or university fees. Also how spoilt are these children are we pandering to their every whim, buying them the latest trainers every 6 weeks or what? I'm pretty sure I've never spent anything like that.
