[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in New England, went to an ivy with lots of kids from the hill schools and the tri-state area, and now live in the tri-state area after a decade of living in NYC + the Middle East for two years. I also have 2 kids.

No, definitely not is my answer. Kids from the tri-state area (especially "the City") are entitled and think that they have a monopoly on culture. I was amazed in college at how many city kids really thought that every aspect of how they grew up and viewed the world was better. I could not believe how many kids for St. Anne's dissembled over getting B's or thought that because they went to Horace Mann they were smarter and were shocked when a public school kid from NH (me!) got into the Creative Writing class that they thought they should get into.

I'm raising my kids in Greenwich, CT and have no idea how I'll keep their feet on the ground given how insanely wealthy everyone around here is, but I intend to try my best.[/quote]
