[quote=Anonymous]DH grew up in a working class family (mine is upper middle class). Most of the time, it isn't an issue. Those kinds of things shouldn't be an issue, unless you are a jerk. The things do do come up however, are small things that my family does or values that he views as being snobby or uppity. For example, my grandmother making a big deal over handing down some of my great grandmother's silver to me. He doesn't get why it is important, but in his family, there is nothing of value to hand down. Or, me hating that his mother uses paper plates at Thanksgiving. I don't care enough to say anything, but she thinks I am a snob for using my china at holidays. So, big picture, these kinds of things are tiny, but they do tend to come up a lot. And I expect they will come up more when we have children and my family tries to impose its values on our kids, and his family tries to do the same. [/quote]
