[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No really, it's insufferable. The little slap about nobody wanting to visit her overseas -- maybe her friends have their own Christmas plans, or maybe they can't afford $900 round trip fares for a 1-week visit (or maybe they too think she's insufferable, perhaps in other ways). Frankly, her kids are hanging out with rich diplomats' and financiers' kids in a little ghetto of privilege called "The American School of Country X" (my DH attended several of these in various countries) or some such thing. This talk about "the real world" and "preparing themselves according to what we're seeing and experiencing out here" in London or Brussels or whatever is BS. My kids have been to Soweto and are headed to another 3rd world poverty trap, and that's the real world.[/quote] If Insufferable Poster is sending her kids to the local lycee to study in french with the Algerian immigrants' kids, I'll eat my hat and retract the "insufferable" moniker.[/quote]
