[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Social climbing idiots! You pay those fees to be/feel important. Doesn’t everyone know that?!?

I don’t regret for a second the decision to stay in the small pool. I grew up at the “right” country club and I had nothing to prove rearing kids.

You go there to feel more important than you are and waste a ton of cash in the process.[/quote]

We belong for a bunch of reasons and none of them have anything to do with social climbing or to feel important.  The primary reason we belong to a country club pertains to our kids.

Because we belong to a country club, our kids regularly use the facilities to
- golf
- play tennis
- go to the pool, and
- use the gym and personal trainer/s.
Our children are at the club at least 2-3 times a week to do at least one of the aforementioned.    I can't think of anything other than a country club that provides the same access to these types of facilities.[/quote]

+1- Exactly.  Our family uses it for sports- DH loves golf, I love tennis, kids love to swim, golf and play tennis.  We spend most of our free time there and enjoy it.  We use the pool in the summer months and fitness center year round. The dining rooms serve good food and we enjoy having meals there.  We've made plenty of nice friends there and it's easy to get together. We are definitely not social climbers- we just like spending our time outdoors and we enjoy it.[/quote]
