Former Spoiled Kids Share The Times Their Privilege Was Checked Hard
When you're a kid, it's hard to fathom that everyone doesn't live the same way you do. You assume everyone's parents are like yours, everyone's circumstances are the same, and everyone has the same goals. It's a huge part of development to realize that everyone's family works differently… that not everybody has taco Tuesday, and not everyone's dad calls ranch dressing "cowboy cream." That was a wake-up call for me. I was laughed out of the cafeteria that day.
Add money and privilege to the mix, and reality is even harsher. And some folks can go for decades, well into their adult lives, before they realize the kind of advantages they have. Often, it's when they're taken away or challenged. A recent Reddit thread pulled the curtain back on those aha moments in people's lives, and the replies open up some interesting questions about how long we allow ourselves to live in delusion.
