The best upbringing is to be poor around other poor people so you don't feel deprived or envious. You also don't turn into a lazy sniveling demanding brat.
Makes me appreciate things most people take for granted. Like waking up in a house in the middle of winter and not seeing your breath or coming into the house when it's 105F in SE Texas and the air conditioner is on.
It’s certainly a fun one. Not all sniveling loaded with being disappointments and shitting all over peers because you have to be better than everyone but aren’t. Over achieving parents that aren’t actually making their achievement goals in actual reality so they act all shitty and pompous to others.
Limiting who they are as a way to suppress their stupid side in an attempt to come off as 100% smart.
