When you meet other moms and their kids, what signals upper class?

[Anonymous]

I’m thinking of a mom who is very well put-together, trim, and pretty. Her kids are well behaved, other than a short-lived pout, and the family lives in one of those nice custom homes spanning 5 or 6,000 square feet in a good school district. The kids are wearing nice clothes, brand name shoes and go to nice camps.

The family vacations in Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and may travel back to their home country in August.

Is this spot on? If not, what signals wealth with families in the DMV?

This is MC.

Upper class is articulate, confident kids who can communicate with adults and children alike. All family members are trim and fit. Vacation at St Barts, Aspen, and Europe. Have at least one vacation home. Multiple kids in private school. Kind and not snobby. Live in 2500+ Sq ft house.... I say that because size doesn't matter as much as location and quality. House (no matter size) probably cost 1.5+.... I say this because some people just don't trade up as they age. They stay put, like Warren Buffet. Nice cars, may or may not be expensive, all in good condition.

Not in 2022. Sometimes Mom works and have full-time nanny. Sometimes there is no nanny.

More than one full time nanny. Either one nanny per kid and/or a weekend nanny plus day nanny and/or daytime nanny plus evening shift/night nanny.

The educated American nanny with at least a BA is the height. Gold standard in upper class circles.

When I pull up to them and ask if they have any Grey Poupon, and then they say 'but of course' and drive away, then I know they are upper class.

Travel back to their home country? What?

Upper class from another country behave entirely different than upper class WASPs. So I guess you need to be more specific
