[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you.  Those who are feigning ignorance about there being an elephant in the room are not fooling anyone.  D.C. is swarming with those trying to be something they are not, plain and simple.  Here is the important deal breaker, in all honesty (from experience):  If the one of less means feels at all uncomfortable and covets what the other of more means has, it is a deal breaker.  Why?  Because the former will always want or see themselves as somehow more deserving of what the latter has, whether or not they admit it.  It is that easy.

In other words, if you are already alluding to "how did they get their money?"; it translates into "why don't WE have what THEY have?".  It is most definitely a problem. The party who does not have as much money does not realize that while it has absolutely nothing to do with the other couple/family, the other couple/family will be an unwitting (albeit not deaf, dumb, blind) target.

BTDT.  If one party is down to earth (may be of more means but portrays otherwise), and the other is entitled (may be of less means but portrays otherwise), REGARDLESS of income, it will be an issue.  For now, I say let the children be friends and hang out together.  You don't have to be besties with the mom or her DH.
