[quote=Anonymous]In my family, it seems like about one person a generation makes it to the middle class. In mine, it was me. My cousins are still back home. Mostly happy, but definitely struggling. From my perspective, I'd assume that every one of them would have liked to have made it out but that's not true based on our conversations over the holidays. A few of them might wish they'd made different choices had a few different breaks, but most wouldn't choose my life.

Among our kids, mine are pretty set. Among all the kids left back home, there are a couple who are on their way to getting out though they're too young yet to really know if it'll stick or if they'll head back home. Most of them do seem to be on track to stay. I think there's just something about us that tends to want to keep us close to home, and there are only a few who choose to leave and have the ability and luck to do so.

I only judge when the parents sabotage the kids. I'll tell my cousin he's a jerk for letting his 16 year old quit school to work full time in a landscaping business. No one's starving without the kid's money. He needs to get his HS diploma. He can work on the side.[/quote]
