[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i grew up dirt poor and this thread is shit. that's it, that's the comment. [/quote]

Why? Because of the uneven distribution of wealth? Lack of social safety nets? Can you explain?[/quote]

NP and I agree. It's shit because it betrays a complete lack of class on the part of most of the posters.[/quote]

Yes, it is weird to me that so many people are dying to chime in.  I get it, these are things you never get to talk about, but it reads as here's what sets us apart, and bragging about something that was handed to them.  And the shallow nature of a lot of it it is hard to stomach and give me a break with all of the glowing values that people think are exclusive to UMC UC.  They value "hard work" but really it's their privilege that has afforded them this lifestyle.  Plenty of LMC and MC people work their asses off every day to provide for their families.  I guess I should look away but it's hard.  :lol:  Seriously though OP, if you think these check-list items are going to add value to your children's lives I'd be careful.  Trust me, I see these things from the inside. There is a thing as too much.  Some of these things are nice, but many of these children are crumbling under these expectations with a lack of perspective for the world outside of their bubble.[/quote]

I’m participating because this topic is normally taboo and therefore somewhat interesting to me.

But mostly, I am sick to death of reading and talking about corona.[/quote]
