[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband grew up blue collar, and I grew up UMC.  We met in medical school, and have a pretty similar lifestyle to my parents.  The only thing that gets to me is that he doesn’t seem to understand how much effort and/or money things take.  I think he sort of thinks that if you make enough money, then things should just happen.  
For example, he wants a consistently clean, nicely decorated, and well maintained home with plenty of toys organized and in good working order.  
He wants family meals cooked from scratch every night.  
He wants the kids to play tennis, golf, swim, and play chess.  He also wants them to play a musical instrument and learn a second language.  
But he puts all of this on me.  He feels that because I grew up UMC, I am supposed to know how to decorate the house, how to hire a nanny, or where to send the kids for golf lessons.  And this is supposed to take me no time or effort.  
It’s gotten better over the years, but it was very surprising when we first started making money that he expected me to know exactly how to spend it in order to make his vision of TV UMC life into a reality.  [/quote]

My Dh is like this because he grew up with bitter, controlling parents, so that might be what you are experiencing. [/quote]
