[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything is a consideration, but you cant generalize - it really depends on the people.  Where this match is most likely to have problems that aren’t obvious until it’s too late is kids, like if [b]the UMC partner wants private school, golf lessons, SAT tutor, etc., and the LMC one thinks its a waste of money because they turned out fine without it.[/b]  Money issues with parents too - go to the family forum for plenty of those stories.

All of this. My ex-DH envies all the ways I have given our kids a headstart in life. I don't think he realized just how early the upbringings of UMC kids diverge from that of LMC kids until he saw [b]all the ways I strategize our kids' success[/b]. It's really weird how resentful he gets about it. Almost as if he doesn't want the kids to do better than him on a very deep level that he denies to himself. I think even the sincere desire to have your kids do better and the willingness to work to ensure that (not just vaguely hope for it) also differs among the classes.[/quote]

This just made me vomit in my mouth[/quote]

It’s TRUE though.  Poster is correct and a good parent.

+1.  We all strategize our kids futures on DCUM— big 3 or bust; travel sports; regional/national competitions in science, art, and music; colleges to apply to.

I’m curious why this comment made the pp vomit in their mouth.

I really can't tell if the previous comment was sarcasm or not. Maybe I'm not smart enough since my kids are not in private school, have never done travel sports, and have never competed in any science, art, or music competitions.[/quote]
