The word class is thrown around very often in today’s
society. The middle-class and the economy go hand in hand when discussing the
future of our nation. In our discussion it was interesting to have more than
economic standing correlate to class. Class can be boiled down to your reputation,
social standing, etiquette, where you live, how you live, etc.
It was intriguing to think about how class ties in to
Heavenly Father’s plan for families and how we should raise them. I think that
where you are financial may come in the way of parenting. For example, if a
parent has to work many hours because the family is in poverty, the children
are left alone. They raise themselves. However, this situation can pertain to
any financial situation, whether the family is rich or poor.
The discussion made me think of my own family situation. My
husband and I are poor as dirt. I don’t think we can afford dirt. But that’s
how it is suppose to be when you first get married. We don’t have any kids yet,
but I’m hoping that by the time we do we’ll be okay financially. I want to be
home with my kids. I know that if there were an emergency I would go work so
that my family wouldn’t starve. But I hope that no matter where we are
financial, we’ll remember how important families are.
