[quote=Anonymous]We live in a fine home in a nice neighborhood. Our decor is simple and plain, the way we like it. However, our house is very large. Some people say we live in a mansion. It is not. We host often but don’t get invited often to others’ homes. Our friends do often invite us out and when we invite someone over, people always accept.

We recently attended an over the top party for a classmate. Their home looks like a magazine home. Decor and party was like something you see the kardashians would have. Totally over the top.

My kids also recently attended a play date at a very wealthy family’s home. It was a real mansion with millions of dollars of art type house. Family has a plane. Their toys were all top of the line and frankly some stuff I have never even heard of or seen.

So now I feel like I don’t necessarily feel comfortable inviting these people to our home. I would feel my plastic table covers and wegmans sheet cake would be inadequate after that ridiculous over the top party. I wonder if the Uber rich family will judge our pictures on our walls.

And now I wonder if our other friends do not invite us over or host us for similar reasons. I have a few friends that I have known for years. They have never invited me over to their apartment or townhouse. I know they like me as we hang out often and they invite me to meals and outings. I wonder if they don’t invite me over for the same reason I will most likely not invite the super rich crazy art on wall family over to my house.[/quote]
