[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all of the above, I would add in some smaller details like:

Fresh flowers replaced weekly several in public rooms and/or guest bedrooms

Expensive, nice, hand made furniture and rugs (no Ikea or wood veneer)

Hand made, one of a kid art (no reproductions or posters)

Efforts to keep house and lawn tidy (usually outsourced to others)

Organic fruits and veggies, free range meats and eggs

Eating out at nicer restaurants as a family a few times a month

Mother gets professional beauty treatments (hair, nails, pedi, wax) rather than doing it herself

Kids always have nice clothing that is well kept and fits. No hand me downs. More Mini Boden or Tea than Target.[/quote]

Lol actually a lot of UMC families buy Target clothing for the kids  but spend on other things like good colleges.

This sounds like what a LMC thinks the UMC live like.[/quote]

Eh. Target is cheap and tacky. I hate character stuff or ugly graphics. Tea and Boden are much nicer and not that much more expensive if you buy on sale or have a promo code. They almost always have some type of promo they are running. The difference is like 10 or 15 bucks, something negligible.[/quote]

There is stuff at Target that is much better looking than Tea. It’s not where you shop, it’s what you buy. My daughter has clothes from Wal-Mart (basic shorts, pants and shirts, no characters or logos or printed figures) and Neiman Marcus, in addition to everywhere in between (Nordstrom, Target, Baby Gap, Tea, Carter’s, Macy’s, Hannah Anderson, Lilly Pulitzer).

Lmao about how clothes are the determining factor to UMC or LMC. 🙄[/quote]
