[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone here with experience marrying into a family from a different class? I grew up ÛMC/global elite and am marrying a first generation college graduate from a LMC/blue collar family. What should I know?[/quote] I married down, though my husband and one of his siblings are professional class the extended family are trailer trash. I taught him about tipping, table manners, paying for kids' college expenses etc. but still have problems with his expectations re yard maintenance and sometimes grooming. The main problem involves visits from trashy family who use our home as a vacation destination. Mostly I just smile and bear it. They ARE family, though I draw the line at more than one night visits from adult nieces and nephews and their offspring.[/quote]
