[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to be mean spirited - obviously I know where I came from - but the stupid things my brothers and sisters do over and over amazes me. They're stressed, they have no savings, they hate their lifestyle, wish they could give their kids x y and z. I'm always there for advice - and bend over backwards to help with the nieces and nephews - but none of it is ever followed though on. It's just wasting my breath because they make the same stupid decisions over and over and over. Now that our kids are getting older the differences are stark; theirs have little to be hopeful for while mine are polished and prepared. Not bragging, I wish all of their cousins were on the same track. ://[/quote]

So not everybody in your family is making good decisions or doing great. What does that have to do with status? If they are low, you are low too.[/quote]

Not "not everyone" more like nobody is making good parenting decisions. Socio economic [i]status[/i].

It's one thing to be clueless, you know, you don't know what you don't know. But we're illuminating a path, now they know . . . but still, nothing changes. And when you tell them they're dooming their kids they don't see it that way. But then everything we predict happens - my husband and I aren't psychics, it's just blatantly obvious the path nieces and nephews are headed down.[/quote]

Oh boy, don't count your nieces and nephews out, yet.  Even if they get off to a bumpy start they can still turn things around.  [/quote]
