How much money do parents spend on their kids every year?

I'm doing a report for school and am wondering, is there a website that has statistics about how much money parents spend annually on their kids on clothes, food, toys, etc.? I'm looking for a general site.

How much money do parents spend on their kids every year?
the averages usually run around 10,000 a year age has alot to do with cost though, so these sites may help.....

Reply:we parents spent a lot of money on our kids i n the thousands, and the younger they are the more you spent; especilaly , new-borns and toodles, and as they get older is a lot even more because they all want name brand clothes, and if you don't get it for them, they friends and others would make fun off them.i don't have a web-site to give you but i could make you an- endless list of all the money, my husband and i spent on our childrens and we have 2., so i can imagine people with more than two kids how much more money they spend per year.
