[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen these marriages too, several girlfriends of mine married blue collar guys (lawyer friend married a plumber). 
You know what? Everything was great until they had kids. Then totally different approaches caused friction. They disagree on what to spend $ on, if they should move for better schools, if OT therapy for one kid is a waste, even what kind of food is good.  It's like they are from different cultures. The worst guy has a chip on his shoulder about college education, resentful of people with it, doesn't value education for his kids. He's obviously just insecure around his wife's friends, but I feel bad for his kids. He is hampering their opportunities. Wife goes along with it to keep the peace, like they didn't apply to
Immersion programs because he thinks they are elitist. Instead they send DD to one of the worst elementary schools around. He talks big about supporting our local schools to justify it. So lame.[/quote]
Thanks for posting this. This is exactly the kind of friction I imagine would come up. [/quote]

Yep. I am in the same boat. It's like we come from two different planets. We don't agree on anything. We share no values. It's exhausting. [/quote]
