[quote=Anonymous]"We weren't poor per se (not on welfare or foodstamps or anything like that) but we had so many kids in the family (8) that we didn't have any extras ... no vacations, no going out to eat, no new clothes, nothing like that." In "good times", went to McDonalds once a year. A real treat. Ice cream from a soda fountain once a year in the summer. An even bigger treat. And we behaved well for weeks in advance to "earn" these treats. The only way to attend an amusement park, a movie. or anything with an admission fee was as a guest of a friend's parents. We were often invited because we were very well behaved. Compare to some kids today who get these things several times a week, think nothing of it, and are ill mannered, to boot.[/quote]
