I was born Rich, were you?

I was born in the Dominican Republic, in March...I believe it was sunny out. We lived in a small apartment, my mom, dad, older brother and myself. We had a maid (maid/nanny - almost everyone in the D.R had one) and she used to stay over often. My mom used to sit me on her lap to teach me to read (Spanish). My dad would bring us treats from work. We used to go my grandpa's house out in the country every Sunday and meet with all our cousins and aunts and uncles. My gramps had a lot of land out there in the country, so we used to go on "adventures" to find our parents special fruits. We used to climb trees, we used to get take fruit from trees that weren't ours and run away when the owner came out yelling. Lol. My life seemed so ordinary then, but every time I think about it all I see is magic. :)

no...i'm not. God bless!!!

What a lovely description of your childhood.Thanks for sharing!I'm not sure what kind of Septmeber day it was when I was born 4 decades ago, but I sure do have a lot of happy memories of growing up. We had a big family so there was always something going on.

I was born on a laid back province,on the 8th of February, Mom said I came out before the midwife came and that she doesn't have any problems giving birth on me. :) Growing up, I was adored and loved not only by my parents but my siblings beacsue I am the youngest, yeah, i was born rich with love and affection :) and am proud to say I am even richer now!

I too was born rich, into a family rich with fuss from many elders in the family. Like you, I was their firstborn. I was fed with rich food, something my parents need to slog for it. I grew up rich with knowledge and courage. I am still RICH with life.

Yes I was born rich. I was the firstborn. I eventually had two sisters join me. And we were born to parents that loved us and worked hard to provide for us and to protect us. They were always there when we needed them and close in the background when we thought that we didn't. Sadly, my dad is no longer with us but my mom is still there protecting and loving us just as she has all our lives. So yes, I was born extremely rich.

yes, i was born rich too... i was born in a very loving family... i am the only daughter and my parents especially my dad loves me very much... both of them take very good care of me and provide me with everything i need... so i grow up happy and fulfilled... on top of that, i have God that always guide and look after me... so i feel very happy and contented being born in this world...

Hi there.. If that's what's called rich, then yes, I was born rich too.. My parents were also pretty loving towards me and my elder brother.. We were granted all our wishes when we used to be kids.. We travelled a lot in our vacations with our parents.. It used to be a fun life when I was a kid, I had no worries at all...

Yes, I was also born rich. Surrounding by hill and green farmland outside our home, my mother was also always around for us(brood of siblings). Even though we had not had any maple tree outsides, we had mango tree, lemon tree, guava tree and a huge kitchen garden. My father was working and helped my mother in kitchen garden. We really had an idyllic childhood, thanks to our parents.

Absolutely. Our home was filled with unconditional love and communication. Our mom was always sure to tell us that when she gave us a time out it was our behaviour that she wasn't happy with not us. We acquired a ready love for learning and books and other cultures. A tolerance for those who have different viewpoints and lifestyles. We often had visitors from other countries as well as those who were well traveled as my mom was in international development - helping third world countries with fisheries, ag development, desalination, family planning and the like. The other benefit to her travels was that she brought home exotic spices from foreign lands and gave us a taste for dishes from all over. And, she encouraged all of us to be ourselves - to love ourselves. The greatest gift of all. I was born rich, like you. Thank you for reminding us all of the simple gifts of life and of all the things we can offer our children.

I was born in December on Christmas day, it was snowing. I was born with money and lots of it. We never talk to each other. we were put in foster homes and detention centers. Moved around all the time. We used to get together on Holidays, but everyone liked to argue and fight. Most of my family is gone now and the family I have now, wife and kid is all. We try hard not to be like my childhood. I was rich in money, but poor in life. Now I consider my self to be rich.

Yes I was born rich with love from family, I was raised in the country with my grandmother who taught me well, we lived off the land for our veges, and we had a milking cow whom provided us with fresh milk every day, my grandmother wasn't rich in money but she was rich in her own way, we had two massive gardens and she could cook some wonderful foods and preservatives too. I wish my children would've had the chance to meet their great grandmother, We lived off the land, and it was good too...I may not be rich with money but I am rich in love...

I was indeed born rich...and like you born in October....although in the coldness of England. But I also grew up in the country with endless natural beauty surrounding me...there to enjoy and bring me comfort. Isn't it sad that so many people only see the material things in life and miss out on what is really important...Now I spend lots of time walking the hills where I live and spending time out in the garden...just seeing the beauty in what nature has to offer....these are lifes great pleasures.

I was born very poor. My mother was the town person that no one wanted their husbands to be around. So we moved every few months. We picked fruit and traveled with the season of what ever there was to pick. We always had food we always had some place to live in but sooner or later mother would cause a stink and we would have to move again. I did get a good education because I was the youngest and had my sister and dad to think for that. But no we were not rich and didn't have a rich family life.

I was born rich too. We are a happy family and really close to each other. I've read somewhere that if you wanted to know how rich you are, you should look at the things that you have that money couldn't buy. And I'm really happy to say I'm pretty rich.
