[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very rude of these “friends” to poke fun at your lifestyle.[b] [/b]It would be one thing if you were bragging but clearly you’re not.[b]

I would look into private schools where you will find wealth. There will be others with large homes and many without but I don’t think you’ll be called out on it.

It’s a frustrating problem to have- though I’m sure many of us would trade places in a second! [/quote]

I think owning a 15,000 sf home is basically like bragging about your wealth, though.  There's nothing subtle about it.  [/quote]

Same. Sorry, but if I saw that house + housekeeper, I would know we could not possibly be friends since we don't share the same general values. [/quote]

Same. Same. It's not that I wouldn't necessarily like you or think you're a nice person, but I would definitely not feel like we could really be friends. I would never feel comfortable inviting your or your children to my average 2500 sq ft house where we have to do all the cleaning, yard work, etc. Your kids would probably be bored too.

Ok so I am not imagining it. My friend did drop me after coming over. I should hesitate to invite someone over.

The one friend I really like is a military spouse. We have hung out a few times and I really like her. She just offered me her daughter’s old raincoat and I felt grateful. This thread has confirmed that I should feel self conscious about inviting her over.

Another friend I met from a moms group and we meet up every week. We talk about sleep deprivation and things like teething. I know she doesn’t get paid help because they are saving up for home renovations.[/quote]
