Everything is relative. Kids can have problems that seem overwhelming like bullying, school pressures, and others. There seems to be an increasing number of children and teen suicide so it is not so easy to be a child. Problems of adults run the gamut of mild to life changing. Sometimes when you look back on childhood as an adult, it just seemed easier.

I am an only child. Although I am an adult now, I never did and still do not feel that my life was easier. I hate the pressure that it puts on me because my parents don't have anyone else to lean on when they get old. I feel obligated to succeed and to live. Yeah, I do usually get what I want in terms of material possessions and they do make me momentarily happy. But, that doesn't mean that my life is easy. As you said, everything is relative. It is all about perspective. To others, my life might seem very easy and I probably come across as a whiny, ungrateful bitch. But I would trade anything for just a little less pressure, fewer expectations, and a lot less guilt.

"Way more" is not a correct way of writing this, young one. I'm just letting you know, my dear child.
