[quote=Anonymous]There are some great examples here. Honestly, it's mostly about them and not you. you're growing away from them in ways they can't understand. Even if you're living a fairly low key life here in DC, it's still different than their life. Even if your house is simple by DMV standards, it's probably worth twice as much as theirs. Kids classes, or a nanny, or anything to do with kids probably costs at least twice as much. You probably have a stronger feeling of security than they do, too. So I'd flip it around - watch what they do, what they all about, and talk about those things. For example, in my family, it's couponing and what's on sale and various places. Always a sure fire hit in my extended family. They'll forgive you some "airs" if you will, if you just demonstrate you haven't forgotten where you came from. [/quote]
