The fact that they are from humble beginnings strengthens parents point imo. I've found that even if you have been through a lot of status highs and lows, if you have not specifically worked on your ego you are still very succeptible to arrogance / ego trips or whatever you want to call it. And if this is your first cycle, meaning that you were once low status and are now high status, you will most likely have this problem.
