How Did You Grow Up in a Middle Class Family?

When I was growing up, I really didn't know any different. By no means did we have severe struggle. My mother was a special education teacher for 30 years. She has extreme patients with children, which I do not. And then I asked myself kind of an odd question. What if it wasn't as hard as everyone else makes it out to be?
