"We're ordering pizza for dinner"
"A hot shower. Cold showers were always available, but when you scraped enough cash to get some diesel fuel and get the burner to kick on long enough to have a hot shower man, absolutely nothing better."
"Restaurants were definitely somewhere at the top of my list. I lived through the tail end of Apartheid in South Africa so we weren’t allowed into restaurants. Also, non-iceberg lettuce. Dairy products, like a full glass of milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, flavored milk. Lawns.
A dining table and family meals at the table. Vacations that didn’t involve staying with relatives."
I've often wished that their was some required financial means test before having children so that no child would ever be forced to suffer parents who cannot afford them.
Life happens buddy. Sometimes tragedy or accidents happen that effect the parents income. It's not always just trash raising kids.
