A Crow in the Snow: More on Parents
This post made me think of my relationship (or lack thereof) with my future in laws. They are very nice people...but very different from my family. Consequently, B rarely takes me to see them. In fact, in 6 years I have probably been there less than 10 times (and DEFINATELY less than 20). On the other hand, B has been to my house more times than I could possibly ever count.
Some differences:
1. My family has almost no divorce in it. My Dad is a widower...but I think this is definately different than divorce. On the other hand B's family has tons of divorce in it.
2. Different socioeconomic strata.
3. My family does not see fighting as the answer to anything.
4. Lots of other little differences.
None of these bother me...but I do wonder if they will lead to some problems in the future. I know B and I see eye to eye on the major issues...but I'm aware that his family and I could butt heads in the future.

Well, you didn't tell us which family was the rich one. I want to know whether the richers are the fighters.
ps, i'll add your link to my blog as soon as I can.
My family is the "richers" as you put it :) So the fighters are not the richers.
