[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post is actually really triggering me. I grew up in these circles in Texas and went to the right school, camp, college and sorority and never felt like I really fit in with any of it - especially because the guys seemed so spoiled and vapid - and as an adult I have purposefully avoided that scene with my own kids. Now I kind of regret doing that because I see the ease in which these kids can float through life on their connections if they so choose. Not that my kids have any real hardships at all - we have plenty of money and very supportive and close families - but there is something comforting about that social bubble. I wanted to raise my kids outside of it for a reason but now that they are entering college I can see how it would be useful.

Interesting post. Even though the poster may receive a bit of flack for such thoughts, I understand. I attended college with a large group--not groups as they do find and associate with one another--of wealthy kids who enjoyed the small school environment because they were living a very comfortable country club like experience. Easy to see why wealthy parents want their kids to associate with other from a similar background. And, for the most part, such a lifestyle composed of wealth and connections works.[/quote]
