I definitely had some -7 days, but by and large it was a good childhood.
I was required to do chores and help out around the house. However, I didn’t have too many “wants” that I couldn’t have.
I’m fairly spoiled among my peers, but not in a “doesn’t have to work, thinks the world revolves around me” way. Always well fed and clothed. Always had a home to live in.
My parents paid for my college, so I graduated without any student loans. They also gave me and my wife the deposit when we bought our house. They continued helping with my kids’ college education, covering half of their expenses as well.
There was some abuse. Honestly, it didn’t amount to more than what just about every kid my age went through. Horrifying today, but run of the mill back then.
I’m going to say the average would be 7.
