Super spoiled apparently since I got 12. Pretty good for growing up low middle class.

* and the allowance question.. I never got an allowance per say, but if I needed something I would have to work for it, my parents were usually fair on giving me lunch money aswell. But I never expected it.



Some people did chores just for the satisfaction of not having their ass beat.

This. Some of these questions really don't lean toward a reason for you to be spoiled growing up.



I'll be the judge of that!

Everything is relative.



what about size of family? did you take a bus? did you walk to school? did you have after school chores?

etc..

Not to mention the generation gap on this board. things are much different now than 5 years ago, 10, 15, etc...

* and the allowance question.. I never got an allowance per say, but if I needed something I would have to work for it, my parents were usually fair on giving me lunch money aswell. But I never expected it.



yeah, these questions suck. you should add:

- did you have to wear hand-me-downs or Salvation Army clothes?
- did your parents ever buy stuff on layaway?
- have you ever eaten government cheese?

7.

+1 if you want to count Pong as a gaming console.
-1 if you want to count me having 3 jobs and paying for my folks groceries while I was in university.

How is knowing how to cook being spoiled? I started cooking because I wanted hot meals, and ended up cooking for everyone. I never thought of that as a luxury, lol.
