On a scale of -10 to 10, how would you rate your childhood? (10 is being spoiled, 0 is neutral, -10 is being abused/neglected)

Mine varies from like 4 to -5, with random flucturations into -7 to -8. I'd say it averages out at like -1.

I would not rate it. My childhood, like myself, is not a product or a service, it's not even a homework, waiting to be rated

The more time passes, the more I realize how much lower the score actually was.

Like, between 0 and -8 or -9, mostly trending worse.
The best time of my life is working casual at a servo two or three days a week.

Hard to condense this to an integer. There were times of feast and famine. I was given a lot of freedom that I knew most parents my age would gasp at, and I had some perks. That said, I did come from a broken home and I was the product of people who probably shouldn't have had a kid. They have their own circumstances and issues with their parents as well, so the brokenness really is generational. I've done everything in my power to break that pattern and it's working so far.
I will not say I was spoiled, but I was certainly given too much to eat and not often enough sent outside to play. I was always going to be an oddity and a misfit, so it would have been nice to at least not be fat.
All of that and I still was extremely privileged. The overall number needs a context. If we're framing this against global childhood, I'm at least a 4. If we're zooming in to kids in my immediate cohort, probably closer to a -3.

Lucky enough to be a 7 or 8

In my mind -9 and -10 are resserved for sexually exploitation... so I'd say -8 as that contains lots of beatings, emotional abuse and tons manipulation back than and attempts to manipulate today...

Donāt know why you got the downvotes. You have a valid opinion.

Honestly I'd have to say a solid 5. I wasn't spoiled, but definitely supported in all my ever-changing interests. I had freedom like simply doesn't exist anymore, but I had rules to follow. I was super independent, so maybe others would have felt neglected, but I never wanted for attention or things. I was taught to think for myself, actively, by my parents, how to hobby, how to do basic life shit like cleaning, and laundry. I still have a strong relationship with my folks. I could and can talk to them.

Because the question was rate your childhood, and they made a very obnoxious answer of basically āno thanks, Iām too special to do thatā

2, most of what I remember is negative. It was probably better than I remember though. I tend to remember the bad times more than the good. There were some good times though.

It was certainly mostly negative, but there were hints of spoileriness. I always had the newest Gameboy, but fuck having clean clothes that fit me. I barely talked to my parents after I left their home, at least willingly. My mom passed a few years ago and it put a huge strain on me since there was no one to care for my father, so being a decent human being, I stepped up and tried, but ultimately couldn't.
He passed earlier this year, and I did what I could to do right by him, even though he didn't give me the same treatment.

My mom is kinda like the poem "there was a little girl, with a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good she was really good, but when she was bad ^drunk she was horrid."
My dad was a great guy though.
