[quote=Anonymous]We're a Heights family. We are a solidly "middle class" family for the DC Metro area (although I recognize that, at least in dollar terms, we are "upper" middle class compared to the country as a whole); we are single-income, but very comparable to e.g., a professional couple where both husband and wife work for the federal government. While it's clear that many Heights families have more wealth/income than we do (just from attending parent gathers and kid birthday parties), we've never felt judged or out-of-place at all. Everyone has always been kind and respectful of one another, both the kids and the parents. We feel blessed with what we have, and most of all blessed that we have opportunities for our children like sending our boys to the Heights. I wouldn't let it trouble you. Heights families are more about our shared values and faith rather than keeping up with the Jones'. [/quote]
