Question by MsJoeMainSt: Are people from deprived backgrounds more likely to be pretentious?
A friend of mine grew up in Holler Junction, Yeehaw County (made up name) and I think she might have had to use an outhouse. Maybe not, but you get the picture – she made it sound as if her origins are quite humble and there was some pain connected to the fact that there was not always quite enough to go around.
Cut to now: She has married a farm boy who became an executive, and they live in a nearly-1-million$ house and today some company-paid maids are cleaning her house (because she can’t be expected to wipe the jam stains off the cabinets or keep up with the dust on the heat vents) in preparation for a company party. It is also being catered so she won’t have to prepare anything. After that she is hosting an open house to get to know the neighbors.
In contrast, I come from a line of people who were landowners, business owners – prosperous, in other words. Due to my own missteps – I take responsibility for myself – personally I don’t have much $ (but neither have I grown up penniless) but even if I did, I know I would not be living like she does in her house with the museum-like decor because I was brought up to just have what’s needed, with never a thought to what other people think. Pretension just wasn’t on the menu.
Just wondering if those who “try so hard” to climb that ladder and make sure everyone knows it are more likely to be – well, I forgot to say, she also never went to college and won’t even consider investing a dime. I think she does not have the confidence that she could figure out a good strategy, and also, she probably wouldn’t want to risk $ 100 if it might buy the proper ties for a curtain swag or whatever the he!! those fussy window “treatment” items are called (I don’t have a clue – to me they are curtains and I pay about as much attention to them as I do to my left baby toenail.) Thanks for your input.
