[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  The butter aside is hilarious...and long-lived.  Every time it pops back up, I laugh.  :)

Thank you all for your thoughtful replies. It sounds like manners are a must.  Volunteering/kindness and culture are close seconds.

These were the last things I expected to hear, but it makes sense.  Of course, being lower class, socially, I guess that's no surprise.

To the PPs telling me to stay true to myself, well, I am. I already feel like an impostor most of the time, I don't have to add feeling fake to the mix.  I am heavy, dress badly, unmanicured, and yet I'm quite happy with myself.  I've provided a better life for my kids and parents than we deserve.  I don't want to spend my time literally reshaping myself. I have a vegetable garden to tend to!

For my kids, though, I want them to have it all.  I want them to feel and be authentic.  I'm truly grateful to have all of your advice.

Now, I guess the challenge to figure out how to implement it.  Manners are a relentless pursuit.  You have to have them all the freaking time.  F**k me.  :\[/quote]
