[Edit: Jesse, maybe you should put that college kid under the care of those annoying people from work, and let them annoy each other?]
Ooh, now that's a plan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going to stick my neck out and say the British have more of a rigid class system in place than the US.
I don't think you're taking much of a risk here. But the chances of breaking through from upper middle class into the US to the upper class--not that big. Mobility only gets you so far.
if your daughter is marrying an investment banker who grew up poor but makes bank and has the right manners it probably isn't that much of an issue with anyone but Bunny McDougal.
I can do no more than shrug at that. I honestly have no idea.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
More useful to whom?
As a sociological class that identifies common traits. "Middle class" is too broad and ill-defined to mean anything in particular.

Question for Nilly (possibly stupid, but I'm curious) - when you use a computer in Hebrew, is it in Hebrew characters or in transliterated English/Roman characters?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Firefly, ice cream,
humor, seventeen love, joy--
Nilly is awesome.

Punishingly Intricate
To her credit, the person who ran the ad for the family nanny does spell out just how little time off the person they hire would have and says that the person would be the nanny (or, really, assistant) to the whole family. It's not like somebody answering that ad could claim to be surprised by the work.

I resent your implication, sir.
