Not to dismiss your experience, but I can see in my friend's children how important is your background. I would bet (and is only a personal impression, I can't back it with data) that the effect shows in more than one generation. If you compare parents that are more or less of the same socio-economic status now (because good public education, luck, talent, whatever), the parents that come from affluent households, see as normal that a children should have a foreign nanny, music formation, travel a lot.. this kind of things. The parents that never had that in their childhood simply don't know how to do that because they didn't experiment that themselves. Of course they try, but it's obvious that it's not the same. Maybe, with luck, their grandchildren will be there. I am talking about professional workers, not spoiled children of millionaires. I suppose that is totally other situation.
