[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's fine. "Middle class striver" values are hard work, the importance of education and knowledge, and earning a good living. Those are the types of values I want to inculcate in my children.[/quote] Interesting. I really dislike/reject the pervasive idea that if my teen isn't decked out head to toe in Lululemon with regular hair highlights and a $50/week Starbucks habit that there is some wrong/lacking in our family. IYKYK. [/quote] Yes, I despise this culture and it seems to be ubiquitous in all the DMV affluent areas. So shallow and boring, producing so many vapid and uber-spoiled kids.[/quote] +2 my DD claims this is just what all her peers are like. I keep telling her to try to find other friends—there must be some nice, down-to-earth kids somewhere![/quote]
