[quote=Anonymous]I live in NW DC and was shocked when I hosted a play group with other moms in the neighborhood. Everyone was sitting around and started talking about how their parents support them -- paying for the nanny or day care, paying for lavish vacations, one's parents gave them a Lexus SUV to drive, another's paid the 20 percent down payment on their house. I was literally the only one there who doesn't get anything from my parents or my husband's parents. (In fact, we have to help financially support my parents.) It was a real eye-opener, and I don't at all begrudge them the help they get. I was kind of dumb struck, thinking how nice that would be. Good for them. But I also felt a sense of pride that we are living a similarly privileged upper middle class life that we built entirely on our own, from a very humble start. [/quote]
