[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this post somewhat insulting, though I know you didn’t mean it to be. You believe that rich people’s childhoods are better than MC or even LC childhoods? I grew up what DCUM would consider LM though it was really MC. We are now 1% and worry about giving our child too much. [b]My husband and I had great childhoods and (used to, unfortunately it wears off a bit as you get spoiled) appreciate things that rich kids took for granted. Christmas was special because we didn’t get toys year round, pizza night was special because we ate at home a lot,  vacations were special because they were limited, my husband and I appreciated Europe as adults because we hadn’t been going since we were 2.[/b]...We can afford all that you listed but choose not to because that aren’t our family values. Though, I will admit we do vacations (one very nice trip a year e.g Costa Rica, Grand Canyon, California, etc) and a summer house in a fancy location. But public schools and inexpensive hobbies. We worry my daughter won’t appreciate the little things in life or the struggles of others. You should learn from the pandemic that the little things that bring you joy are the best.[/quote]

This is so true! I almost feel sad for UMC kids nowadays. They are so blase. Takeout is an everyday occurrence. All requests for toys and devices are instantly gratified. They walk around Europe with their faces in their phones because they really couldn’t care less. I’d rather give the gift of anticipation and excitement to my kids.[/quote]
