[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My adult kids are doing great and they are the opposite of duds. But I have plenty of friends and family whose kids are duds but their parents aren’t. I’m not sure of the cause of the dud-ness, but I think being spoiled has something to do with it as all the families are UMC or UC. [/quote] The reason they are all UMC/UC is because you wouldn’t call someone from a lower class family a dud. Lack of ambition, poor career potential, low educational attainment, etc are the norm - those who achieve more stand out as exceptions. “Dud” is only possible when you start with elevated expectations and have somewhere to drop to. It’s a very classist phrase. [/quote]
