I usually do not post on any of these threads that are so controversial, but after reading this thread and this one (

Disney vacations, a cruise, and other vacations in one year are such horrible people that don't even deserve your care? I really think you're just upset and venting and things are coming across wrong (or at least I hope), but really think about it...To say that anyone that doesn't have all you have is so low class because of their own laziness and doesn't even deserve our care? I'd like to think that I'm misinterpreting something there...
I too have put myself through college and worked hard for what I have. I most certainly am not "stuck in my situation because I lacked the wherewithall to pull myself out of my hole and get an education."
I am a single mom who is raising her girls entirely on her own - no help from a dad or the government mind you because I have the "wherewithall" to show my girls they can make a good life for themselves even when things aren't perfect. I work long hours, I run my girls to all of their activities/lessons between those lessons,and I have to plan all of our vacations - ALL ON MY OWN! There's no surprises for me either, but instead of thinking of it in that tone and feeling sorry for myself or "entitled" to more, I think that each time we go anywhere (Disney, the beach, even the movies) that I am thankful that we are able to spend that time together as a family and cherish each moment.
My oldest is going away to college this year and you can bet that our trip to Disney this year (after not going for 2 years) will be a treasured memory because we will make it that. We will enjoy each other's company and the experiences we have together.
I hope you are able to get through these emotions you are facing right now and enjoy your upcoming family moments also.
