[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP the title alone, not to mention the content, of this thread makes it crystal clear that you are the lowest of the "low status".  And yes, I judge you.  You're a classless puke.[/quote]

We could easily cut them from our life completely. I'm a puke for trying to help family trapped in a low setting? You've never helped family? You've never mentored anyone? I'm not a puke, it's apparent I'm a schmuck for wasting my time.[/quote]

I think it's just time to accept and love them for who they are.  [/quote]

No interest in associating with them if their kids are going to repeat the cycle. It's too horrifying to witness.[/quote]

Well, then that's on you.  And that is YOUR choice to stop associating with family members due to their socioeconomic status.  If you can only value rich people that's a shame.  There are lots of people living modest lives who are really great people to know.

I do understand protecting yourself from people who resent you.  That is different than simply snubbing them for not living up to your [b]lofty expectations[/b].[/quote]

Define lofty (in this context).[/quote]

Lofty would mean being disappointed in a relative for working in a blue collar field and not pursuing a higher (college) education.  It would mean looking down on someone for living in a small, modest home when (in your opinion) they should be doing much better than that.  It would mean expecting them to leave their home town, longtime friends and family members because the area is too "hick" or "redneck" or "backwards" in your opinion.  Staying is the equivalent of failure in your eyes.

Generally, it means looking down on someone in a superior and smug sort of way.  Not accepting them and offering love/approval on a conditional basis.
