DEAR ABBY: My thirteen-yr-vintage son performs on a neighborhood travel sports team. Many of his teammates could be considered a lower class or lower center class. We live in a steeply-priced domestic. We don’t flaunt it, and we’re not snobbish. All of the kids and the dad and mom get along, and socioeconomic reputation plays no function in our interactions.
My son invited some of his teammates over for some hours, and from the expressions on their faces, it became clear they’d get get in no way visible a domestic like ours. They behaved like perfect gentlemen and had been a pleasure to have over. My mom recommended that it me higher now not to ask the boys orepeatedlybecause it isn’t fair to them. Her problem is that it would make them sense horrific because they have so much less than we do.
While I recognize her point of view, I also think it canthem to look at what the possibilities are inside the global if you work tough and are a success. Perhaps it’s going to inspire them to do higher in college, visit university, and many others. Of path, the number one purpose for their coming overturned into only for pals to spend time together and feature a laugh. What do you suspect of these ability unintended outcomes? — SPORTS DAD IN THE SOUTH

If your son and his teammates revel in being collectively in addition to the time they spend doing their sports, they must be allowed that pleasure. Your domestic is probably the maximum logical area to host these gatherings absolutely because it is large senough to house allse they arrive from a decrease earnings stage doesn’t mean they couldn’t forge meaningful — and lasting — friendships with your son.
Many successful individuals weren’t born with the proverbial silver spoon of their mouths. And many successful individuals did not now attend university. They went to alternate and tech schools and provide themselves and their households with very comfortable lifestyles.
