[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP of the “subtle but insidious” post. It’s been common in my life for the families of friends and significant others to use “what do your parents do?” as an introductory conversation opener. Well, my dad worked in banking - as a retail branch manager, among other things. I think they expected something more prestigious, like investment banking. My mom didn’t attend college and worked secretarial jobs. I went to a state school. For the parents of a high school boyfriend, I was considered lesser-than because of said jobs as well as living in a 1950’s ranch and not the more stately homes (but not mansions, just larger with more curb appeal) on the other side of town. My parents are hardworking and frugal and put a lot of resources into allowing me to try different activities. The UMC parents of my friends were obsessed with talking about where so-and-so went to college and career paths. [/quote] That's a really rude question.[/quote]
