[quote=Anonymous]Don't talk about money, ever.  Prioritize education and graduate school.  Stay in public if that's your preference.  Read/subscribe to the publications listed upthread.  Once your kids find an activity they like, let them specialize in it if they desire but not to the exclusion of everything else.  Do not ignore or hide your heritage.  Don't chew gum or allow your children to do so.  Be familiar with American sport.  Take them to occasional Nats and Caps games.  Make sure your children respect everyone and every line of work.  Do not speak ill of others, especially in front of your children. Don't show you're overly impressed with others' wealth or possessions.  Create traditions that you enjoy, not for posting on Facebook.  You don't need to get manicures (and don't EVER get fake nails) but you might get pedicures.  Invest in yourself -- your hair, your skin and your wardrobe but not in an obvious way.  Oh, and don't step on thresholds when walking through a doorway.  Wipe your mouth with your napkin before you take a sip of your beverage.  And for God's sake, only butter the small piece of bread you break off and are about to put in your mouth.  [/quote]
