Other than my parents being kids (17 when they had me, 5 kids by the time they were 28); it was pretty idyllic. Spent my childhood between England and Belgium and teenage years in America (on the same street Einstein used to live on!).
I wasn’t really spoiled as such, but certainly extremely privileged compared to most.
Deduct a few points for the undiagnosed ADHD throughout my family.
Expensive though and we ended up moving to an ex-whorehouse on the PA/NJ border owned by the Heinz/Kerry family oddly. Stairs to the third floor took you through the bedrooms on the second and interior rooms all had peepholes. 👀
Back to sunny Scotland at 16 and seen how absolutely depressing my peers past few years had been in comparison. Drinking cider under bridges in the rain while I was living my best Disney channel life.

Was it a smart street?
Relatively
Right next to Princeton university so probably.
