[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the OP's mistake is not knowing that there are so many SAHM on DCUM who will pounce on anyone that make reference to the fact that they have too much time on their hands and they cannot appreciate how that 30 minutes of your time seems like a lot.[/quote]

OP here.
It was interesting that I said nothing initially about if I worked or not, or what my finances were like, and still got the wrath of people that assumed I was not as well off as my sister and had to work or was somehow jealous. Neither are true (we out earn them- both MD's)
I put in her "stats" because I thought it would explain that she didn't have a tiny condo that couldn't handle extra toys, or someone who truly had no time, or had health issues or worked a big job and travelled for weeks at a time, for example.

She doesn't live in DC and neither do I, so our large homes are a dime a dozen where are living (Raleigh and Pennsylvania) and not particularly expensive.[/quote]

First post here, not sure why you got attacked for this stuff instead of overreacting and being slightly ridiculous.  Reading through, don't you at least see that you're being unreasonable, or are you too busy being defensive?[/quote]

I definitely did on page 2 and was thankful to the poster who took the time to help me. It's very frustrating after years and years of this type of thing and I do need to take a deep breath and find a better way to deal. [/quote]
