[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Here's the thing, OP. You're incredibly afraid that the niece will be an awkward hanger-on and sabotage your kid's carefully orchestrated social climbing. What you do is you stop the car, turn around in your seat, and tell your young relative, born on the wrong side of the tracks, that on no account should she humiliate the family by making any comments about your friends' appearance or visible signs of wealth. Put that vulgar brat in her place! Your daughter is moving up in the world no matter who you need to trample under your last-season Louboutin!!! Soon you'll be able to afford this season's!!! [/quote] The thing about social climbing is that the rich targets always know they are being targeting on account of their wealth. It's not lost on them why OP is foisting her DD on them. Whether an uncouth poor relation tags along or not, it doesn't change how they see right through OP. OP might as well pull the tree trunk out her a55 and let the niece tag along. I think it would be best to let OP's DD take the lead on handling the cousin if she's saying certain things around the moneybags. Having your b1tchy aunt give you a stern talking to about how to behave around loaded folks will sour the relationship.[/quote] Plot twist: OP's guileless niece from 90 miles away will land the young scion of the loaded family. Why, the whole family finds her delightful! It will be a long and happy courtship between the two star-crossed young people. Meanwhile, OP's own daughter who's been stressed by her mother's relentless and obsessive social climbing will end up with the son of the chauffeur. OP will be beside herself with rage and jealousy but what is she to do? After her divorce, she'll be in the position where she must beg for crumbs from her own niece - who was once the poor relation! Life just isn't fair.[/quote] I’m picturing the niece as Disney animated Cinderella and the daughter as one of the wicked stepsisters with the cross-eyes and weak chin 😆[/quote] I'm picturing Daniel LaRusso's mom pulling up to the mansion in her old beater that dies and the rich kid has to get out and help push the car so she can pop it in gear to leave. What kind of car do you drive OP? The parents may see it. Maybe park one block over so they don't figure you out.[/quote] Or Andi from Pretty In Pink as she and Duckie pass by the gorgeous home that turns out to be Steff’s house…and she laments the shame of how the people inside probably don’t appreciate it or “think it’s half as beautiful as I do…”[/quote]
