[quote=Anonymous]My best friend was from a higher SES family of origin. She married a man from an even wealthier family and he entered a lucrative field. They have never been "clueless" about what my situation is like and have been generous with gifts for my children and treating us to dinners out, vacations, etc. They would do more if I let them. Why? Her mother (a Boston Brahmin) actually married down. She eloped with her college professor who was the child of Eastern European refugees. Her parents came around after she almost died from a miscarriage, but it seems like the first few years of the marriage were economically difficult due to her family connections at the university where he taught. My BF grew up hearing about the struggles of living in a tiny apartment, the car breaking down, the shoes reheeled too many times. She knows I'm not exaggerating.[/quote]
