[quote=Anonymous]OP, I grew up in a two bedroom condo with my divorced mom and older brother.  Very tight; pretty poor.  I wouldn't worry about it. Kids go through phases.

My DH and I have both done well for ourselves and now we've got 13 and 11 y.o. DDs and live in a ritzy neighborhood (on the west coast).  At times my kids have grumbled because we seem to be the only ones without a pool.  So there ya have it; same issue, just on a different level.

Also last year my 13 y.o. started at a school with a lot of very wealthy kids.  She won't have them come over.  However; I do recognize one thing about that that reminds me of me.  I think my DD wants to keep her worlds separate--her school friends, and then her local home life/friends.  In retrospect I enjoyed that as well, even though I was on the other end of the financial spectrum when I was my DD's age.  So it might not be a financial situation or one of more space etc, like your ex-s house.  It might be that she has her little separate life with you--untouchable by her friends.

Don't worry, OP!  [/quote]
