[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, read up on "crabs in a bucket" to understand the way some people react to other's successes.[/quote] +1 Thank you. This nails the mentality I have seen a lot of here. [/quote] This. I'm from a LMC family and "crabs in a bucket" describes it well. You could have heard the silence when I was the first person in my family to graduate from college. (Thankfully my parents and sibling were supportive.) They just don't care OP, and when they do, it's definitely not positive. [/quote] They want to let you know in no uncertain terms that your education does not make you better than them or their other relatives. It’s not nice but there it is. Working class people have their own way of being snobs [/quote]
