I have p strong opinions about the protective factors middle class families push on their kids that wealthy families do not, and how lots of wealthy parents end up setting their kids up for adult substance abuse.

Anyways if you raise a kid who can speak to authority figures respectfully, can put up w/ long term frustration + distress, and prides themselves on their work ethic that’s a kid who doesn’t need substances to escape from shame.

Upper class families think they’re being loving by going easy on their children and buying them stuff but they’re creating obstacles to their kid being willing to do the difficult projects that end up being the basis of self-regard.

Tbh poor families + rich families can have weirdly similar dysfunctional family patterns. Middle class cultural values are a real blessing to have been raised with.
