The Secrets of a Privileged Childhood
Рет қаралды 206,163
6 жыл бұрынWhen we think of a privileged childhood, we often think of swimming pools, nannies and expensive education. In fact, of course, the only childhoods that properly deserve the word 'privileged' are those in which there was an abundance of love.

FURTHER READING
“It isn’t difficult to imagine a privileged childhood: we associate the term with a swimming pool in the garden, holidays abroad, lavish presents and outsize birthday parties - and maybe someone deferential picking up the clothes from the bedroom floor during school hours. Our ideas are plainly focused on money. The idea has enough truth in it to convince the cynical parts of us, but the number of breakdowns and mental illnesses gnawing at the upper middle classes should be enough to force us to concede that money cannot on its own be the reliable guarantor of ‘privilege’ that it would, in a way, be simpler to imagine it was.”

Once my mom told me about a conversation she overheard in a diner. It was a small group of one percenters discussing how miserable they were that the made less than 200k that year. She told me “Imagine if I made that kind of money, we wouldn’t still be miserable.” I thought about how 200k could pay off my student loans and how nice that would be. Then I thought about my many friends with parents paid, mostly or entirely, for their college. They are all miserable. My rich friend’s parents felt as though they paid for their child’s future, so now they have complete control over it. Attempting to become independent is seen as a betrayal to them. So they can never move to start a new job They are trapped. I told my mom about my friends and said I wouldn’t change anything about our lives. She said “but common, you know me. I wouldn’t do that to you.” But I just can’t be sure. Money changes people.

Children have always been the possession of wealthy parents. That is generational. You do the degree your parents tell you to. You become what they expect. You dress as they require. You impress who they want you to impress. People that are raised differently without those burdens have no understanding of the road laid out for those of us that were since before birth. A palace can be a prison.

I had a privileged childhood in a sense that this video describes. I didn't know I was privileged, and got a small inclination that I might be when I started university and had to live in a different city, and began to miss my parents without really knowing why. I was probably in the early twenties when I finally realised that not all parents are like mine; that they are truly exceptional, and that I am privileged and blessed.

I think your opinion could use more clarification. Yes, parents do need to know how to hold limits for their kids so that they can slowly learn that others matter. But it has to be paced properly and needs to be developmentally appropriate. We really don't need to "toughen up" our kids. There will be plenty of that coming from the outside world. It's important that we don't try to fix all their struggles, but sticking up for them at times really gives them an awesome sense of belonging to a stable group (the family). Many parents definitely take this overboard and try to make sure their kid has no adversity, but I don't think we need to be the manufacturers of that adversity. It's incredibly nuanced and doesn't fit easily in a sound bite.

The child is just a other person, like their friends. They use you when they feel like it, and do AS they feel, but the feelings and thoughts of the child drain them, incapable of forming connection, they think the best tehing to do is make the child grow up and stop caring and feelings so much. A perfect recipe for apathy and depressioon. Going in circles and never finding what you want

I’d prefer to be beaten up by a stranger and not by my own parents, the people who were supposed to love me and protect me. So don’t go around criticizing people without knowing where they’re coming from. Hope you can apply empathy to your family and friends.

Seriously though, I grew up in an upper-middle-class house with two parents, a good education, and the expectation I would go to university and enter into my own upper-middle-class life. I was taught that I was privileged. Nevermind the awful home life, the lack of friends, or the lack of empathy or affection. I had food, heat, doctors, education, vacations, pets, etc. And until this video I believed what I'd been told - because financially I was better off than the majority of the world, I was privileged. Excuse me while I go mourn my childhood now. P.S.: Excellent video.

I’ve lived my life on a constant bumpy road that has ended up shaping who I am. I’ve lost dear people and have struggled emotionally at times. However, I always had a mother-figure in my life who has understood my problems. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a family who could pave a road to my adult life, even if it was like a sin wave a lot of the time. You really have to understand how important a person can be in your life. Where I would ave otherwise failed, the Love and understanding I received helped me to overcome my struggles. There are many things I wouldn’t change.

It took me years to figure out that whilst I came from a wealthy background I never had stability and I never had good parents. My mum is to this day emotionally unstable and treated me as her therapist from the time I could listen. My father hid in his books and only corrected me when it came to how to dress, how to act around specific people (lawyers, businessmen etc) and otherwise generally neglected me. I never trusted either to have my back and I always knew that I had to defend them... when it should have been them defending me.

At some point early on in this video, I realized that this was the exact kind of relationship I wanted and needed with my parents, which didn't.. match up with a lot of these traits. I know my parents would fiercely defend me from the outside world, but I remember just wanting someone who loved me for being myself - not because we were related by blood, or only on conditional terms. My mother didn't shield me from her adult feelings, even if both of them shielded us from roaming and experimenting in the adult world. My moving out WAS seen as a betrayal. And yet, I have friends who are like 'it's nice, you actually LIKE your parents." So I have some emotional privilege, but not all of it. And I'm glad that you pointed out that trying to make people unhappy isn't the answer - it's about showing more love in the world. I'm really glad for my friends who have supportive families, even if a bit of jealousy stings at times. I would rather they have awesome parents than both of us being unhappy.

Back then, my family was a lower middle class. My dad worked as a factory worker and my mom stayed at home to take care 4 of us as nursery would be too expensive and my parents couldn’t afford one even if my mom went to work. I still remember how McDonalds was too expensive for us. We would only eat there if there’s some sort of events to be celebrated. My toys were all passed from my older sisters. I was never pampered with materials and wealth but there is no single doubt that my parents did their very best to give me a good life. I received more than enough love & attention from them. Despite of being a single breadwinner, dad managed to send all 4 of us to college. My first sister is now a chemist, my second sister is a teacher, I’m reading law while my little brother is in an engineering school. I have no idea how my parents did it with extremely limited resources but they somehow just did it. I love them so much ☺️

A great example of this comes to my mind: My own father grew up in a family where there was true privilege, that is - they were of very humble moderate income and lifestyle, never got tot travel, their clothes were always clean but very few, their food was simple, not too much furniture...but they got a huge abundance of wealth in love....both parents showered their kids with love, education, principles and an admiration for the cultivation of virtue and wisdom...and boy, I can truly see all of those benefits and all that privilege in the life of my dad...what a remarkable, admirable, well rounded and psychologically and emotionally healthy human being! Wow! So yes, again, I fully agree and resonate with this video! (In my own case circumstances were a bit less ideal because my mom came from a very abusive background, so it took her quite a few years to resolve that while i was growing up. But at least from my dad I did get all of that beautiful support and kindness and guidance). Cheers, everyone! :)

Is it possible to not know how to love, or certain forms of it? Apathy is what I speak of, not hate. I grew up in a household with two parents who are still supportive of me and try to help me out the best they can but they had also grown distant sometime during my mothers pregnancy I guess, and I did not see a lot of signs of affection in my early childhood. In some ways, my childhood home was safe, but clinical. Do not mistake that as anger, as I quite like people, I think there is much more good, wonderful and valuable to humans than they think of themselves. Yet in my mid 20´s now I´ve began to see how most of the people I´ve known trough out life are getting married and starting families. I noticed my difference when I realized that I´ve never felt intimate affection. I see good people around me, some smile back and I am certain they are perfectly good people and would be wonderful partners but I have never felt much anything. As School of Life has pointed out and I know that from my own studies as well, childhood has a big role in forming the child. For some time I have wondered if the reason I don´t feel strong intimate affection is because of the childhood I grew up in. Is it because it has been so alien to me that I simply never knew what it means.

Reminds me of the 2017 movie "Lady Bird". It got 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. I think everyone here must check out this classic!!!

Will you guys do a video on why some people say they hate children, and will often even say they hated children when they were children?

Yeah I got none of that growing up. Unfortunately time only travels in one direction. I'll just keep on moving, maybe I'll get to where I'm going someday.

I am a divorced mom ,went through a phase of depression after it,then went into a toxic relationship ad yes,at times,my only child,my daughter seventeen years old, was the shoulder I cried on ...I am feeling guilty about it although I tried to do my best,comforted her when she needed it,helped her with everything I could...Now she tends to parent me at times,can even get a bit bossy:but as I am dealing pretty well now with my own life,I often say to her:"hey I am your mom,not the opposite";what I mean is :when you are lonely and in pain,it is very difficult not to seek comfort in your child but I know it's WRONG ; we must be tolerant with our parents and forgive them as much as we can ,it's part of becoming an adult.

"Check your privilege" 😂

This is a great explanation. My family of 7 is what you call "privileged" but its even more rare to find in a mixed (black-white) race family from the city (very small city though with yards etc.). I had friends who even lived nearby whom I never really got "me". My friends did not have the values outlined in this video. They never got how my family wasn't, for example, comparing skin tones (a common occurrence in black families which pits children/cousins/parents against each other) over the dinner table. Instead, we were being quizzed educational topics, being instructed proper table etiquette, making sure we ate our greens, and how well we progressing in our chosen sport. We did all this with very little money. However, now I've come to realize that I am not what most people would call "poor". My parents both had college degrees but decided to start non-profits and community based projects instead of Corporate America. Statistics don't like that. I'm also glad it said explicitly how to spread 'wealth' without redistribution.

I come from a poor family with two brothers. My parents basically saw their job as done when I was around 12 years old, they divorced and I got no emotional support from this time. Today I feel much more grown than most people in my environment, since I learned to live independent and solve my problems myself (i'm 19 now). But on the other hand I am really struggling socially and I am not really able to form deep relationships, including 'real' friendship so live isn't fun at all and fun and happiness are high privileges to me which I am not getting. So yeah.. I would exchange all my worldly goods for some happiness.
