[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to try and say this without sounding snobby, but there's already a fair share of snobbery in this thread so what the heck.

DH and I are both from middle/working class families.

The only difference is education. No one in DH's family has a college education, everyone is mine has a 4 year degree or higher and has professional jobs. Our families get along just fine and there's no issues.

DH gets slightly uncomfortable at our family gatherings because conversation and food/drink is different. DH's family had never had brie before meeting me. My family talks about politics, books, movies, the environment. DH's family doesn't - they don't pay attention to that kind of stuff. It's not to say that their lack of education is necessarily the cause, I just don't think they're interested. DH's families talk about their neighbors, or an upcoming fishing/hunting trip, and sports scores. DH feels more comfortable in that environment.

However, our home life is different than the environment DH grew up in. I speak a second language and DH is learning my language, so it's fun to teach him. Prior to my pregnancy we did a lot of wine tours and have a robust wine collection now. We watch the news every night at 6PM; it's nice to see him have some interest in local and national politics. I make DH amazing football sunday snacks, but can't follow the game to save my life.
