I never said you were desperate, and that wasn’t what i meant to imply. Apologies if that was the takeaway. Truly.

And I’m sorry about your self-consciousness? (is that what you mean? i’m just unsure) about your own socioeconomic status. Like i said, we didn’t have much money - certainly no inheritance. so, I just think our experiences were/are different. no one i know is boastful about what elementary/high school they or their children went to. it’s come up at some parties but by accident when there’s some coincidence. Every once in a while - i do some fundraising stuff for my old schools - parents who didn’t come from money would talk about because they were proud of their children at having gotten in. No one used it as a social cudgel to intimidate someone or make them feel self-conscious or boast about their wealth. I’m sure some do, but who would spend their time with a tawdry family that brags about money? [/quote]

You can say self-consciousness.

I would argue it a matter of perspective whether it is viewed as being proud of their child getting in vs status symbol (my own bias). You can also learn a lot from people who brag relative to people who judge silently, so I don't really take it negatively. [/quote]
