[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS and I have lived in a 2 bedroom apt since he was born.  He is 12 now and doesn't seem bothered by it.  He has chores and he says that he is grateful we don't live in a bigger house b/c he'd have more to clean.  Lol! [b] Has your daughter specifically said she is embarrassed you live in a condo? [/b] Does she go to private school?[/quote]

She hasn't actually come out said that, but it comes off like she's embarrassed. She's in public school.[/quote]

Maybe it's time for a talk with her then.  If you don't know why she acts like this, it is time to find out.  [b]Maybe she is embarrassed that you are a single mother.[/b]  If she brings friends to her dad's house, it isn't as obvious since the stepmom is there too.  Who knows?  It's time for a talk.[/quote]

I never thought this could be an issue.[/quote]

I wrote about this being a possibility b/c I was a bit embarrassed growing up that I had a single mother.  Nobody I knew had divorced parents so we really stood out.  Thankfully that is not the case anymore.  I am a single parent now and it is only girls from our neighborhood that ask my son where his dad is.  None of his friends who are boys even notice.  Just something to consider.[/quote]
