And to think we bought this large house because we value our family so much.[/quote]

Your parents don't need their own 4,000 sq ft of living space to be comfortable staying with you. If anything, I wonder sometimes how much people value their families when they buy houses seemingly designed to let everyone get as far away from each other as possible.[/quote]

Say what?  My friends who have large houses seem to be the gathering spaces for our large group of friends and our children - great not only for hide and seek, but also for their game room and their wide assortment of spaces that my house will never have.  Y'all are small minded as they get. No wonder y'all are so jelly and insecure when you hear Larla has this or that.  We all know you are teaching your kids your toxic ways. Good luck with that.

You don't need 15k sq ft to have big groups over. OP is entitled to her 15,000 sq ft house (as long as they can afford it), but let's not pretend it's necessary for having family visit or that the size of your house is a reflection of how much you value family. OP bought a 15,000 sq ft house because she really wanted a 15,000 sq ft house, not because life or family situations mandated it, and it comes across as disingenuous and, frankly, pretentious for her to claim otherwise. That may be what people are responding to more than the house size itself.[/quote]
