[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm dealing with the right now with my boyfriend.

He thinks it's snobby to want nice things, live in a good school district, participate in certain activities, etc. He thinks it's trying to keep up with the Jones' if you desire to move to a bigger house, buy a new car, etc.

I can sense he's uncomfortable in social situations with people who are upper middle class, not knowing exactly what to say. Although, he doesn't admit it, and since he's been around truly wealthy, old money (lived in Middleburg, VA) he thinks he *gets* these people, and he doesn't. Not at all. And it's little social nuances that he doesn't have, which get on my nerves.

It's frustrating and really making me think how we're going to raise kids, when we have two different viewpoints on how to approach life.[/quote]

PP here. Yes.

There ARE these subtle differences that I am noticing as we talk children. I want our children to go to the best preschool but he thinks they should go to the local church preschool. He thinks its elitist to try to eat healthy and makes fun of me for being another YUPPIE.[/quote]
