That is my favorite too. It's a dcum classic: a SAHM who married her husband when he was broke but is now making 500k. UMC people are sending the message to their children that sons must excel to become rich breadwinners and girls must be beautiful and smart enough to go to a good school and catch a rich husband. That's what I learned about upper-class white people in this area! [b]I'm an immigrant [/b]so it was fascinating to me to realize this after years of reading dcum.[/quote]
I'm curious - where are you from? A country where the social classes are set and there is no upward mobility? If you are born into a lower class, you are to remain in a lower class?

I am Arab and yes, social classes are set in stone. That said, women are nowadays encouraged to work and make something of themselves. I was surprised to see the emphasis on finding a rich husband so you can stay at home here. A former lawyer SAHM with a high earning husband who left the workforce because “that’s what’s best for our family” (the line they all parrot) is pretty much the ideal on here. I find that interesting because where I’m from this type of woman would be told she’s wasting her life! [/quote]
