[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are children of poor immigrants. Kids most certainly notice families who have more. My family lived in a small apartment, drove a crappy car and we did not go on vacations. I also didn’t attend camps. I was mostly bored during summers and read a lot of books. My kids now live in the big house, attend interesting camps and travel often. We travel so much that I don’t think my kids would think going on a trip is even brag worthy. Our kids do visit their grandparents’ modest home. They know DH and I both grew up poor. I tell them stories of times that I have felt bad when others would brag or I felt left out because I could not afford to buy or do something.[/quote]
