Curious.
I come from a bit of a 'mixed' background I guess.
Both my parents were professionals, one a teacher and the other an architect.
My mum went to a pretty posh ladies boarding school, and her family were solidly middle class. Red chino, signet ring type, home counties tory
. Mum hated this and hid it very very well.
My dad grew up in poverty in Glasgow, worked hard, and got himself a good job.
I went to a very poor state comp. We lived in a poor area and didn't have much spare cash due to debt issues. Most of my friends had never been on holiday. Their parents were dinnerladies and the like. I worked pretty hard at school, but was fortunate to have supportive parents. Went to Cambridge for univeristy, now a SAHM. Dh is a lawyer.
Some people see me as working class because of how I was raised, but I never really fitted in at school. (Geek perhaps)
Other people think I am quite posh because of my accent for the area I'm from.
What do you think ?
