[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Texan, some of these comments made me lol. [b]Yes, we definitely have ignorant trash here, like everywhere else, yes, DC too, but at least the cities are much better -Houstonian here. [/b]

OP, agree with PPs that once the kid is in school, dad's influence will lessen. Heck, I'm totally Americanized and answer my parents in English when they speak to me in our native language. [/quote]

I'm a "European" and can never stop feeling amused for an unyielding hard-on the DC crowds seem to have for all things "European".  It is as if they don't realize that Europe, like the U.S., is a highly stratified, class-conscious society that has plenty of everyone.  Working class. Lumpens. Uneducated people. Highly educated people.  Average people.  No, things don't suddenly acquire special sophistication because they are "European".  For all you know, your BIL is a chav whose family gets trashed in a pub every Friday and Saturday night, and whose womenfolk stumble out of pubs to pass out on sidewalks in their strappy sandals and miniskirts in the dead of British winter.  So what that he's British?[/quote]
