[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you have a chip on your shoulder OP. I enjoy traveling, but haven't ever been to Asia and Africa. I really love to listen to my friends journeys across Cambodia and Vietnam. I'm not jealous and I don't think they're bragging. It's just what people talk about. Why not listen to her trips if that's what she enjoys doing? I surely listen about people's kids all day and don't have any.

I grew up much wealthier than my inlaws and it's extremely hard to find common ground. I feel like everything is off limits to talk about. Everything we do is completely different and somehow more privileged than them. Even something as simple as getting new pots for my kitchen is excessive. [/quote]

You may have a way of describing things that is off putting.  Are you like "Oh I got this copper and gold plated 800 stock pot" or "my nonstick wore out again.  I got a new one from Costco"  .  Also most people don't talk about cookware acquisitions as though they are a big deal.[/quote]
