[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, OP, I was with you as part of a dual PhD couple with kids in public school until you started with "the other families at school can't afford to do the things we like." Can you really not figure out how to enjoy great food and host conversations about deep topics without spending a ton of money? Hosting people in your home, feeding them, and going beyond small talk is one of the top forms of social life in some cultures (e.g. coming from a post-Soviet context in my case). There are also backyard campfires, happy hours, and picking up pastries to picnic in the park. It doesn't have to be travel and fine dining. You just sound snobby. I sometimes worry about judgment from my kids' wealthier school friends because we are much more MC than UMC, and this is what it would sound like. [/quote]
