[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS definitely has a better life.   [b]I grew up UMC and we are UMC but DS definitely has had more opportunities because DH and I like to do more things than my parents did. [/b] My mom also had significant mental health issues and was borderline emotionally abusive, and DS is raised in a much healthier environment.   There are no threats, guilt tripping, name calling, or yelling in our house.  [/quote]

Same to the first part of this. Our income (inflation-adjusted) in not necessarily much higher but we do more and are comfortable spending more. My parents were immigrants and just more frugal. We take a lot more vacations (flying and driving) and kids do more stuff locally too. Some of it is living in an area with more to do and more access to information that makes planning and doing stuff easier.

I feel much more uncertainty for our future and kids future though. Things just seemed more stable externally in my childhood. Now with AI, climate change, politics I don't really know what the future holds for my kids. I really want them to have a good childhood.[/quote]
