[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In a nutshell, yes, a lot of people think like you. I think like you! I have actively fought to correct myself over the years, knowing in my heart that parents want their children to have friends and don't mind visiting a significantly more modest home than theirs. My friend living in an apartment still hasn't invited me all these years, even though we have lunch together at my house or go out to eat regularly. I can only correct my behavior, not hers or anyone else's. [/quote] Agreed. We don’t ever invite other kids to our house because we are in a townhome and most of the kids at my kids’ schools are in million dollar homes. It sucks and it’s isolating. [/quote] I grew up in McLean In a nice SFH (not extravagant, but nice) and made a really good friend who lived in the Rotunda. She even said as much to me when we were that age- she didn’t invite people over because she was embarrassed about her apartment. Fast forward 20 years and we are still best friends, (we do not live in McLean or even VA anymore, but live in the same city). We also both became doctors of the same specialty- not sure that’s relevant but maybe it is. Definitely continue to invite people over and build those friendships! Kids don’t care! [/quote]
