[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in an Upper Middle Class DC family, and it was definitely a thing when I was a kid in the 70's. I think this is something closely associated with SES. Families with resources have options, which leads them to obsess about those options. Families with fewer resources don't obsess about options they don't have. My impression is that many families in this area have families who grew up in true middle class, or even working class families. The parents get rich (or at least UMC) and find that their new social circles do things differently. They then attribute those differences to the time period, whereas for me, the ways that UMC raise their kids in DC is very similar to the way I was raised.[/quote]
