The author is a spoiled kid at least to some extent! I understand she complain some issues during her grow-up stage, that's not very abnormal. But look at this -
"他们在节日把我反锁家中念书....我的生日他们忘了,...我从小到大没有过过像样的生日,都是和节日合并,或者就像这样他们忘了,或者奶奶叫我让着表妹先吃,蜡烛她先吹(就是这样也只有一次,10岁)"
issue of 'not having 生日 party every year' is a problem, while many kids in 1980's china small cities, or born-in-70's kids, not have any birthday party at all!
I stop looking at this article while read at that point.
