Where does she claim to be middle class? It seems she recognizes she was middle class as a kid, but now is not, considering she said “were” instead of “are.”
I have a very different take away from this and that she knows she is wealthy, and trying to impart the understanding of their luck onto her kids…I don’t see her at all denying her wealth.
She did say that she grew up middle class and sometimes her family couldn’t afford pizza. If you can’t afford one of the most cost effective ways to feed a family without making the food yourself, you’re not middle class. Now she’s rich and lying about lemonade stands. It’s embarrassing that someone with no idea what middle class means is writing an article about teaching kids about money.
“Sometimes couldn’t afford pizza” shouldn’t exclude her from middle class… we rarely ate out because we were trying to save that money for a trip or something - we would have said that we couldn’t afford pizza, too. Even if it was well within reach, it wasn’t within budget.

That’s a whole lot of judgement made from pure ignorance about anything from her life, and putting words in her mouth.
