I guess I was raised as trashy. My sister and I are 14 months apart in age. If one of us received an invitation to a party and the other didn't, we weren't going. My mother didn't think that it was fair to divide us like that and made it very clear to everyone. My sister had a crusty nose and eyes due to her extensive allergies. She couldn't help it. My mother wasn't involved in school open houses for many years because she was too busy raising three daughters alone and going to law school.
On the plus side, we did behave well in public and have never been in a Walmart.
