At the time I was super upset and ended up crying to get my way, but now that I think back to it I feel so crappy. :/

For me, it was usually my parents just would refuse to spend money on something that stupid (which in hindsight they were actually being really smart about).

Private school problems: a girl once complained to me for 30 minutes because her parents were taking her to Crete and not France. She was just //so// over the Mediterranean, you know?

We could never go out to eat or to movies, etc (like, //never//), and had the low income school lunches where I paid 25 cents a lunch instead of the normal $2.00. Never any vending machine money or whatever, so I remember that when I found a dollar on the street I was super excited to go buy a Frutopia. Oh well, money is much less important than a loving family

My parents made us toys for Christmas because they didn't have the money. But we ended up with a really awesome toy car garage and a Zoo kinda carpet thing like those street carpets :D My parents rock!
