[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of PPs say they wouldn't be friends with OP because of her house size, but I think for most if not all of them, it goes beyond that.  My guess is that the way OP presents herself is in some way incongruous with her McMansion.  For instance, maybe OP complains about SAHM stuff in a way that makes her seem one way, then her mom friends come for a play date and see that it was all a bunch of BS.  I have an acquaintance who used to complain about fake problems, such as how she and her husband couldn't save money, and it was so annoying because they're rich.

OP comes across in her posts a little "off," if you know what I mean.  Like someone who is super-rich but tries really, really hard to convince people that she's salt of the earth.  She got a handed down raincoat from a friend and was so grateful, as if to say I'm so down-to-earth!!!  PPs say her house is way bigger than need be and she responds with some weirdness that it's because she values family...?!?  It would be so much better if she just owned the extravagance and said yes, I know our place is ridiculously huge, but I love it!

Incidentally, I would never offer a mom friend (unless a good friend) as rich as OP a used raincoat.  I would rather it go to a good friend or family or to someone who needs hand-me-downs.  I would also expect a super-rich mom to graciously refuse such an offer.[/quote]

Who are you to judge who has what and who needs what? [/quote]

This is PP you quoted.  There's no judging who has or needs what.  I hand down clothes through my moms group so possibly, gasp! a super-rich mom like OP could get DD's old clothing!!!  I would just hope that someone that rich would not ask for them.  [/quote]
