[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me start this thread by saying I'm a SAHM that's trying to engage my brain. I took an intense interest in sociology while I was in college and, unfortunately, did not pursue a double major. It doesn't change the fact that I am totally fascinated by the BEHAVIORAL differences between the lower middle class and the upper middle class. It would be lovely if people would talk about their personal life experiences and give specific examples of behavioral differences (and differences in values, morals, child rearing, education, manners, etc.) among these two classes. This is NOT a financial debate. I don't care what bracket you are in or what your HHI is. I am simply talking about how you grew up and how you are raising your children and the differences you notice between these two socioeconomic classes.

I'll give a few of my own examples to start off with:

I've noticed that when people in the lower middle class save enough money to renovate their house, purchase a nice car, go on a vacation, etc. they tend to state the price of everything. My friends from the upper middle class simply don't discuss money matters because it is considered impolite and crass.

In my personal experience, people from the lower middle class tend to address adults by their first names (and the adults encourage this). In UMC families, adults are addressed by "Mr. and Mrs. so and so" This could also be a cultural phenomenon, however, not just socioeconomic.[/quote]

Agreed. There is so much waiting to be discovered at Michaels! :lol:[/quote]
