[quote=Anonymous]My DD has become very friendly with a girl in her K class. The parents are extremely wealthy (like sold a company for $100+ million) and every time my DD plays with theirs she comes home with new toys and their play dates are always extravagant - like the mom will hire someone to come over and do arts and crafts or bake with the girls and DD will bring home all sorts of treats and projects. The mom sometimes takes them to a toy store and lets them pick out things they want to play with and my DD will bring home what she picked out. Another time the mom bought the girls pretty expensive matching pajamas and sleeping bags because they were having a pretend slumber party.

The family is actually really nice and not at all snobby or showy - they worked hard for their money and just like to enjoy it and indulge their kids, but I kind of feel awkward about it because there is no way we do the same for their child (I mean we don’t for ours either). First off, we can afford to get DD all of these things but we don’t want to spoil her more than she is already since she has so much and certainly doesn’t need to be getting new toys or clothes every week. Not surprisingly she always wants to go to this friend’s house because she knows they will have tons of fun and she might get something (don’t get me wrong - she and the girl are super close regardless).

Do I just let it go and let DD enjoy the friendship? Would you feel awkward?[/quote]
