[quote=Anonymous]Our kids are at a Big 3, I really hate the term and rarely use it but do to drive home a point We are on the mid to lower end o he average socioeconomic ladder.  We both earn work, earn a really nice living built a beautiful home, take nice vacations,etc...our kids want for nothing but we are very average for their school and yet on a national scale would be in the top. 05%.
However seeing all the fancy cars, all the beautiful SAHMs in their yoga outfits and designer bags  with seemingly not a care in the world while i am trying to juggle a crazy work schedule with meeting my kids various school commitments, makes me at time envious.
There are families a friend of mine refers to as the ubergroup- every school has them, the wealthiest, most connected, from the outside perfect family whose kids are the sports stars, and belong to the right clubs,etc.......it is easy to look at them and wonder why them and not me. But I would spend so. much energy doing that, that there would be nothing in reserve for me to give my own family.
In other words the little energy i have left would be spent on a family who could not give 2 red cents about me vs my own who loves and needs my attenuation. Water seeks its own level. I do believe that.
Also a footnote, one such family that I always though of as an untouchable recently it came out her husband is battling alocholhimsl and is away to be treated. It was a huge surprise to many. Yet another example that no one is off the hook. [/quote]
