[quote=Anonymous]13:07 here. And responding to the original question. I'm in the same boat as you (which may be why I read books about social class). I married a working class guy whose father's employment took him all over the world so he speaks several languages, and the working class ethos actually fits in well with the wealthy so we tend to get along well with the 1% (as you identify yourself). My advice is to be yourself. Raise your kids as yourself. It's you and your methods that allowed you to ascend from a drug infested hovel to your nice townhouse. But, also read about class so that you feel more comfortable and confident in social situations. And sign your kids up for swimming classes and other sports that make for good vacations-- skiing, tennis, etc- NOT because you want them to be UMC but because it will make your vacations more fun. You do you. If people judge you as having insufficient pedigree to be friends, they aren't worth hanging out with. [/quote]
