I’ve noticed my lifestyle wasn’t normal...

So recently I’ve noticed my lifestyle is not a normal one. Because ever since some things have changed (i moved and have a tinier house and we have less money due to having my dad start his own business) I’ve noticed the following.

1. It’s not normal to have Gardner’s do your front and back lawn every few weeks

2. I’ve never seen anyone besides me be told that “you represent the family therefore you must look presentable at all times” I’m literally not aloud to leave the house without having makeup on and hair brushed and flat ironed or something. And I have to take pride in what I wear 😒.

3. It’s not normal to have been in a limo usually. I accidentally offended a dear friend when I heard that on her 16th it was her first time riding in a limo. (I was strangely brought up or something to thinking it was normal)

4. It isn’t normal to see your Nanny (grandmother) every other weekend. (I haven’t seen her for a year almost now because of a huge argument in the family) and others have told me they don’t see them much besides holidays and other occasions like causal visiting just a little

5. It isn’t normal to treat soda and fountain drinks, and juice as if they are desserts.

6.up until teenage years I was only called ms. Dorman by my teachers

7. It’s not normal to move a lot.

8. It isn’t normal in America to say quit and a bit because people always look at me strangely

9. It isn’t normal to be dressed by someone else until grade seven. (Clothes picked out for every occasion/ day.)

10. Mostly rich people go to private school

11. It’s strange we’ve befriended millionaires and they complain about spending to much money and not having enough and when they have an average amount in there bank account it worries them

12. It’s not normal to have parents that are both 41 when you and your brother are 15 and 19 (all my friends parents are in their 50s or late 40s it’s strange and they all of younger and not many older siblings)

13. Everyone has such good relationships with their siblings like their good friends and I haven’t had that until he’s moved out -and I barely see him

14. It isn’t normal to get an Audi A5 as your first car or any good car before your 16th.

15. It isn’t normal to barely see your parents in elementary and middle school etc. Sometimes because of work. Everyone seems to have stay at home moms where I live or at-least not have to carpool due to them working a lot. I’ve been independent since childhood.

16. It isn’t normal to have separation anxiety and cry after not hearing or seeing a person for a week when they are away.

Well I like to observe since I’m quite a quiet person you see so this is everything I’ve noticed. Please don’t judge me. I’m not trying to brag I’m acknowledging that I’m spoiled and need to change that view on life.
