[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, we are an aid family that feels like we're doing fine by normal person standards in the outer boroughs. This is really a question of perspective. My kids have never been made to feel less than or excluded based on money. Occasionally they'll ask for some minor dumb kid status symbol (a particular brand of jacket or water bottle or whatever) that is actually relatively affordable for middle class families that budget and I tell them they can earn it by doing extra chores or will give it to them as a special gift. It can be somewhat harder as a parent at some of the events (I never know what to wear) but I get the sense the other parents find it refreshing to not have to keep up with us and we've made good friends quickly.[/quote]
