Sorry, the "myth" of the single family income was for many North Americans (and Europeans, and ...) was always that - a myth. The lower class has always had both parents working. ALWAYS. It's just no one used to care about the lower class.
As for the rest - yea, some parents suck. We should expect better. But as for the clothes. My family never bought me expensive clothing and I sometime paid dearly for it. I was that kid that who went to a "rich kid school" but didn't dress like a rich kid. But they tought me there were bigger and better things in life than clothes so most of the time, I just didn't care. eta: and I really feel most children should be raised similarly. That last bit was the point, and I left it out
Umm... and sorry for turning this into a Taualumna against the world thread. You know I still adore you right?
