The doctor said, "your dreams are basically normal. You're having fantasies we probably all have at times. In periods of stress, when there is a lot of responsibility on our shoulders, we want to be like little children again. We want everybody to automatically understand and be good to us and not to blame us for anything we do. Unfortunately, we can only dream about being 'little guys,' because, in real life, we have to take on things alone, and, no one is going to give us special treatment. I, for example, am now going to charge you for your visit today."
The sentence "...in real life, we have to take on things alone," means____________.
