[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wife hand I have been married nine years. We moved to a relatively wealthy area, albeit laid back, to raise our young family a couple years after getting married. We have three children. When wife and I married she was always very social and liked to be the person that planned everything and help people make connections with others. Nothing I saw that set off any alarm bells at that point.

She’s since become borderline obsessed with climbing the social ladder to the extent that there is one in our town. To be honest, it being so laid back around here it feel more like she’s trying to create a pecking order with other moms and other kids. For instance, I’ve overheard her remark to one of her friends that she wasn’t going to be inviting certain kids from the class to one of our daughter’s birthday parties because “you have to be careful about what having folks west of XYZ street in the group, it’s not a good look for us.” She’s also been telling the same and another one of our daughters to reconsider who they invite for play dates because of some really petty sounding reasons, like “oh, they’re quite a bit different in the way they dress and carry themselves, let’s ask so and so instead.”

It’s stuff like this constantly. She fought me tooth and nail to quit her job with our second child and is literally on her phone and social media all the time trying to own social events, so parent involvement in orgs, etc. This in and of itself wouldn’t trouble me at all but her whole demeanor toward others has changed and become a power play. She hasn’t really changed toward me but [b]I hate that my children are seeing this from their mom. It’s not something I respect and want our kids to be open to everyone.[/b]  I don’t know what to do, any advice would be appreciated. [/quote]

Say this to your wife. Let her know how you feel about it. [/quote]
