1. Digging through the couch cushions for change to find enough money to go to McDonald's with my daughter. (We used to share a Happy Meal because we couldn't afford two meals.)
2. The constant mess that I alone was responsible for picking up.
3. Diapers.
4. Having to choose between formula and food. We couldn't always afford both, and formula had to win.
5. That panicky feeling when the car broke down and we had to put the repairs on the credit card.
6. Not talking to grown-ups for days on end.
7. Driving to dance, and soccer, and tae kwon do, and girl scouts, and soccer, and dance, and the library, and swimming. . .oh wait! That hasn't changed.
8. Having peoples' eyes glaze over when they ask "what do you do?" and you answer them.
9. Feeling under appreciated and under paid--again! That hasn't changed.
10. Looking at the budget and realizing there is no money for a family vacation.
