[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the parent with the more modest income and more child care time / bonding. I used to be really self-conscious about this. It turns out that my child prefers emotional closeness to material wealth. she has absolutely no inkling that a big house is "better." She likes the things we do together and the rapport that we have. It surprised me to figure this out, which is strange considering I came from rich, abusive parents and was jealous of my cousins, whose family was close-knit and fun but had a more modest lifestyle. [/quote] This. And my older child figured out on her own when she filled out the first FAFSA that dad enjoyed his more affluent lifestyle in part because he paid very little child support. [/quote]
