[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they embarrassed to have friends (especially ones that live in houses) come visit? I'm currently going through this with my 12 year old DD. I'm a single parent and we're living in a two bedroom condo (at the time of my divorce, it was all I could afford). Unless it's a kid that lives in a complex, she won't invite any of her friends to hang out or spend the night. Instead she'll invite them to her dad and stepmom's house since they now how a single family. Every time I suggest she invites friends to our house, she'll say no thanks, they'll come over to dad's house. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but [b]it makes me feel like I've failed to provide my daughter with a home she can be proud of[/b].[/quote]

Well, that is obviously true.

But you must have done something else she can be proud of, haven't you? Why don't you pay more attention to that?[/quote]

PP, don't be a jerk. Her daughter is at a tough age and doesn't have a clue how hard it is to afford a home on a single parents salary. Her father and step mother supposedly have two incomes. She'll be plenty proud of her home with her mother when she grows up.[/quote]
