[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds immature, still trying to pretend who he is and where he came from, instead of accepting who he is. He may be embarrassed that he had advantages. Maybe his parents raised him saying, "We didn't have all these advantages when WE were growing up!" Or maybe he was duped by our insane president who pretends being broke and blue collar is better than being financially comfortable....[/quote]

OP here. I agree with you actually. I notice that his parents also have identity issues where while they actively took steps to ensure their children enter and thrive in a higher socioeconomic class, they also simultaneously display a lot of disdain for the UMC/UC. I don't really understand it. And whenever he or his sister display affinity for things their parents did not have or understand, the parents get super uncomfortable and make their children feel awkward. I recall, for example, when DH got me a Le Creuset pot for Christmas this one time, his mom threw a fit saying how "spoiled" I am because she got her first Le Creuset when she was in her 50s. Or when we traveled to Europe, his parents talked about how unnecessary and waste of money that was. Its almost like they don't know what to do with their children. They also feel super uncomfortable about their daughters UC fiance and are scared to meet his family as they feel embarrassed.
