[quote=Anonymous]This thread is somewhat amusing. I particularly love the low income moms replies and agree with a lot of what she says (although we are not low income now, both DH and I grew up that way). I'm also curious as to how previous posters know what other people's SES is, or are people just assuming these families are low income? People assume all of the time that our family is low income, and quite frankly I believe it's because we are young minorities, and, outside of work, have a more "urban" way of dressing. In all other respects we're pretty DCUM average. What's funny is the moment I open my mouth, white/ high income individuals seem to be taken aback by the fact that I'm actually articulate. They're even more surprised when/if they ever make it to my house. Maybe people are not coming to your parties because of the deeper assumptions you are making about who they are; their level of income, language and other abilities. [/quote]
