[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently relocated with my family to a suburb in a flyover state. My DH and kids love it, me not so much at all. There is zero diversity both racially and economically. I am of a different race and background than everyone around me. I’ve never felt out of place in DC, but do here. Everyone is extremely wealthy or at least pretending to me. The majority of the moms stay at home and socialize via their kids. I’m still working and traveling back and forth to DC, socializing with SAHMs women is difficult. Just ranting I guess. I took the day off to attend a school function and literally 9 out of the 10 moms here has a Moncler jacket and Louis Vuitton Bag. There isn’t even any fashion diversity!

Change is hard. It will take time. And for some people a long time.  You will get used to it and it won't feel as weird eventually. You will get to know some of those moms and their jackets and bags won't bother you anymore as much but just make you roll your eyes.

There are plenty of places in the DMV area where these type of moms exists and plenty of neighborhoods with zero diversity.  Just acknowledge to yourself that you feel awkward, out of place and hate the feeling and feeling superior helps you deal.  [/quote]
