In which I am accused of selfishly depriving my child of the necessities of life

I was shocked -- and offended -- when it was suggested that my silly obsession with living a carfree life would unfairly deprive my daughter of the normal childhood she deserves. This was followed by a generous offer of a loaner car -- in case I wanted to, for example, take her shopping for school. OMG -- I knew I was forgetting something! My daughter needs food, clothing and shelter! What was I thinking?!?!?
