[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are so judgy. A nice person is a nice person, regardless of the size of her house. I would be mildly anxious about hosting in my “lesser” house, but if we were really friends, I would get over it.[/quote]

Some of the PPs need to grow up.  A lot! [/quote]

We are not saying the OP is not a NICE PERSON (such a vague description).  What we are saying is:  the way she rationalizes this expense, the need for it, the reasons behind it =/= the way we think about these same issues.  Conclusion?  We don't have that in common.  Though, yes, she may still be a "nice person."  [/quote]

She might be perfectly nice.  (I've never met her, so I can't say.)  But she really just does not understand how out of the norm her house is, and the way she talks about why she bought it?  We just don't think alike *at all.*  And it's possible that it's not the house itself, but the way she talked about it to her new mom friends that was off-putting.  Maybe she said something that caused those women to think that she wouldn't want to be in their homes, or caused them to feel like she would judge them.  I didn't witness their interactions, so it's hard to say whether the other moms are really insecure and jealous, whether they are just uncomfortable with the huge disparity in wealth and lifestyle, whether they just don't think they have a lot in common with OP, or whether OP is putting them off in some other way.  But I think it's a mistake to think that everyone is just jealous and bitter--at least if OP sincerely wants to make friends.  [/quote]
