[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 602385, member: 1722"] Truthfully? I'd let her save for the vacation but I would not contribute toward it. We live in a fairly well-to-do area and, while we definitely are middle class, most of Duckie's friends are upper middle and upper class. Many live in exclusive neighborhoods, take multiple vacations a year and have memberships at the country and/or yacht clubs. The thing is, as long as the family is kind to Duckie and treats her respectfully, I don't want to undermine her friendships by having her unable to participate fully (she also has friends that have a lower socio-economic status and we've contributed sometimes so they can participate when money is tight in their families). We knew what our community was like when we chose to live here and raise our daughter here. The thing is: but Duckie and Jumper can live in this world at least for now. Their experiences are broadened by their many friends and their families. They are successful. Don't penalize her. [/QUOTE]
