Did they?

I hate to tell you, but a lot of them didn't thrive. Some of them didn't even survive. Some of them didn't have families that particularly want to talk to them. Or when they were spoken to, it wasn't exactly healthy.

Just because maybe you had a great childhood, doesn't mean everybody did.

Citation needed.

Maybe we shouldn't pretend that a small number of exceptions are the norm. Nobody is saying that every child had a completely happy childhood. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with not being entertained 100% of the time. Being bored is a good thing.

Just because maybe you had a great childhood, doesn't mean everybody did. Let's not look at the past through rose-tinted glasses.

I think you're projecting.

You... need a citation for that?

I don't think you're conversing in good faith here. And it's not helpful or appropriate on HN to accuse someone else of "projecting".
