Obviously I was well aware that I had what people consider a privileged upbringing. My mom was never a bake-cookies sort of mom. I really had no reins whatsoever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't deny that I had a very privileged upbringing, but my parents and that town maintained a sense of normalcy that I think many people find hard to achieve, and I am so grateful for that.
I was not a classic mother. But my kids were never palmed off to boarding school. So, I didn't bake cookies. You can buy cookies, but you can't buy love.
I think I've had a very privileged life.
Compared to people in Africa, I think we've all had privileged upbringings.
I had a very difficult upbringing.
Both my parents worked. So it wasn't like the previous generation where we learned how to cook and bake from our mothers and grandmothers.
My mother was a real tough cookie. She raised the three of us, and she worked at the same time.
I think I was raised by a really good mother.
I had a very modest upbringing.
My mother insisted that I have a normal upbringing.
