I scored five.
Yes, I have come from a two parent family, and it was stable.
We went to a museum or two with my parents.
I've paddled a canoe, twice.
You work your way from the outside towards your plate when using any cutlery.
A lot of my Grammar school pals did go to uni, I didn't.
Coming from the UK I've visited many European countries and travelled to many parts of Asia, Australia and the African continent, but I've never been to Canada...so I didn't count a point for this!
Do I consider myself privileged, it depends on who I'm being compared to. To the tramp on the streets, then yes I am. To the footballers wife who is dripping with money no....but have they they really been happy I ask? I'm privileged because I was married to my dear late d/h for 40 years, we had three great children, they have married three lovely people and I now have four adorable grandsons. The rest of my family and my friends are good people too. These are things that are more important. Privileged can mean different things to different people. I've never tweeted and have no desire to either. As for maternal education affecting children's education, that's hogwash. As I said, I didn't go to uni, my three have all got excellent degrees and good jobs so that theory is flawed in my case. As for the 120,000$ family income....I wish! We never got anywhere near that, but we survived. We were always solvent and owned our own house and vehicles, and I still do despite being on my own.
So I don't consider myself as anything special, I'm just ordinary, and I'm quite OK with that, and whether anyone else thinks I'm privileged, that's up to them.
