[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone here with experience marrying into a family from a different class?

I grew up ÛMC/global elite and am marrying a first generation college graduate from a LMC/blue collar family.

What should I know?[/quote]

My in-laws are poor white trash. Seriously, I can't stand going to their house it reeks, it's small and I don't think the walls have been painted in over 30 years. Not only are they cat people (because of course they are) but there are[b] some serious hording issues[/b] going on too. I get anxiety just thinking about having to stay in that house when we visit. Closest hotel is over an hour away so that's out of the question.

It took some adjusting to get used to their [b]shitty home cooking[/b], [b]lame vacations[/b] and[b] holiday celebrations[/b] but at the end of the day I only have to deal with them 3-4 weeks out of the year.

They are good people and mean well, but it's a bit awkward as I really didn't spend a lot of time around poor people growing up. [/quote]

Please expand upon the portions in bold, if you don't mind. Genuinely curious. [/quote]
