Where do the people in the $6/7/8m+ mansions in send their kids?

We went to a party on Saturday at a family’s house. It’s a 7,200 sq ft home.

My kids are also at Norwood and we live in one of those houses.

It’s not what this thread is talking about - houses that cost $5M+ in Bethesda/Potomac/CC are small estates with 10,000+ sqft and a guest house. I have a friend who lives in that kind of house and she has multiple staff.

My kids think those houses are big. While there are some kids at Norwood in those houses (probably at most of the schools in the area) it’s not typical.

lol ok. Your kids need more perspective. You live in a mansion.

We live in a 3,000 sq ft townhouse. Your kids probably would think we live in a shack. Ironically, our HHI is north of $1 million. We just don’t feel the need to have a ridiculous house.

Weird of you to flex a tiny house. Some of us have bigger needs.

No one needs a 5,000+ sq ft house.

It’s wasteful.

Some of us absolutely do. How clueless you are.

Explain to me why you have to have a 5,000 sq ft house.

Some of us regularly have to entertain large parties as part of our jobs.

Some of us have frequent house guests or multi-generation households.

Some of us have larger houses to more easily avoid family members.

Yeah, most of the families I know who have houses that big don’t fit into the top 2 categories. And the third one is just sad.

Just admit it: Americans love big houses because we associate it with status. Don’t try to justify it beyond that.

We all want to avoid family members sometimes. Like when your kids have friends over, or when you have work that needs to get done, or when relatives are visiting.

Sad that non-tiny houses bother people.

It’s so wasteful. Also, no one needs a 5,000+ sq ft house to have space from family members.

Lastly: 3,000 sq ft isn’t tiny. If you think it is, you’re delusional.

Sorry but 6,000 sq ft is a JOKE!

How does it feel to measure your self worth by the size of your house?

You are the only one doing that. We could care less.

Oh no — you all are telling me all the reasons you simply HAVE to have ridiculous houses.

Although why someone would spend millions on something they couldn’t care less about I have no idea.
