[quote=Anonymous]I'm also the parent with a smaller income. I imagine things will get more complicated as my daughter gets older, but for now it's not a big deal (she's 5). She has asked, why don't we live in a house and why don't you have a car. Like the pp, I stress the fun things we do together and the fun times we spend with friends. At her other parent's house it sounds like she spends a lot of time playing alone in the playroom.We also do plenty of inexpensive treats-ice cream, a toy at the dollar store, and at 5 she really doesn't see the difference between that and a dinner out or a toy from the fancy toy store. We also live in a poor neighborhood and see people going to the food pantry or panhandling, so I do talk to her about how lucky we are to have what we have.[/quote]
