  • Why are middle class people so jealous of upper class people?

    I could drag this question out into a full-blown essay, as I have years of experience under my belt in watching middle class people suffer in their middle class nightmares. But I'll only point to one example. Why do middle class people obsess over taking vacations? I mean, when middle class people take a vacation, they take millions of pictures and discuss the fact that they're actually on a vacation. And when they get back from the vacation, they don't shut up about the vacation. When I was growing up, we'd pack up and spend the summer months in the Bahamas (nothing too fancy but my parents have a bungalow down there). We didn't scream, "Oh, we're on a vacation! Let's take a million pictures to remind ourselves of it!" Nor did we treat the locals with disrespect as do many middle class people since it's there only opportunity to be the boss of someone else--similar to how they treat waiters in restaurants. Rich people actually treat waiters kindly. Middle class people abuse the power divide. Anyway, do middle class people just obsess over how they feel like 'royalty' for that one week? Is that what it is? Are they so frustrated with their class status that they worship the idea of not being enslaved for that one week every year? You guys have to know what I'm talking about. So why are they so obsessed with vacations?

    Im in college at the moment, and my course has 28 people. 26 of those are girl , me and one other lad-though he is gay. So in effect, people say especially my old high school mates, wow you are lucky! However, whilst hanging around with them now for 4 weeks, i have learned sooo much about girls now, as in my high school my group was just lads as mates. Now though, i do like some of them , as in like/love them more than a mate, but cannot tell them that though. In college, i try to be nice, friendly as can be towards them, i am flirty, but never tease them or annoy them. I ask to carry their stuff occasionally, when she needs the toilet i would go and wait outside for her etc. She does have a boyfriend, ( Thats one of the great things about being good friend with a girl, they trust me. Tell me about their boyfriend, what gets on their nerves, the texts they send, and even their secrets. They was joking about someone in our class, they did not show the other lad, but when i asked they did show me.) ANYWAYS, if or when she breaks up with her bf, trust me it has come close, i would deffo support her, and would not want to ask her out straight away. 2 days ago whilst sat down at lunch, her mate said wow you two would look great as a couple, i didnt know what to say lol. She said what him , as there was lots of people, then she said im going out with someone. IM JUST CONFUSED , most girls go for a bad boy look, i just prefer being nice and flirty, i hang around with her everywhere, sitting next to her etc, if she does break up, i dont want to ask her out for fear of losing her.... What should i do ??
  • Who's a good person to ask out?

    In my school, the girls in my school are either troublemakers, a different race (not to be racist), or an "innocent" who thinks I'm not her type. In the past, I've always had friends with problems (I won't go into any more detail) and I want to ask out a normal girl at my school. Can anyone give me advice on who to ask out? Commenting on Sergio's suggestion, I feel like I've found someone, but she might be in another relationship, but if she's not, then I'm very shy to ask her out because when the word gets out, people made fun of me, which happened in my last relationship.

A Passport to the Land of Make Believe

By Ann Douglas

My 5-year-old is always bored. I’d like to encourage her to be more imaginative, so that she can enjoy her downtime more. Any tips?

You’re wise to want to give your child a passport to the Land of Make Believe. Children who have to rely on grownups for entertainment inevitably spend a lot of their time feeling bored. After all, it’s a rare child indeed who has a grownup available to play the role of round-the-clock entertainment director!

You can set the stage for imaginative play by providing your child with some of the “raw materials” for imaginative play—dressup clothes that will allow her to become a firefighter or a princess the moment she dons a hat or a veil; building blocks that can be used to create towers and castles; and other creative materials.

Listening to music together, reading books to your child, and telling stories at bedtime can also help to bring your child’s imagination to life. (Remember how those classic campfire ghost stories used to send your imagination into overdrive when you were a kid!)

You’ll also find that exposing your child to different environments may help to spark imaginative play. She’ll be more inclined to want to pretend to be an explorer if you’ve spent the day hiking through the forest than if she’s been stuck at home all day.

Finally, don’t overlook the importance of allowing time for imaginative play. If a child’s life is overscheduled—she’s rushed from swimming lessons to gymnastics to soccer, for example—she simply may not have the time to give her imagination a proper workout.
