[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 years old?! You don’t need to explain anything. You just say “Larla’s house is really nice, isn’t it? We’re really lucky to have this one, too.” If anything, you could ask “what kind of house do you think you’ll want when you’re a grown-up?”[/quote] Yes, this. Both of my kids have commented on their friends' amazing houses. I just join in with them. It would be amazing to have a pool. It's so cool they have an elevator. Yes, their playroom with arcade games is super fun. If they asked why, I just said that their friends had more money to spend on a house. That's not true (except for probably the elevator kid), but saying "we can't afford that" is the quickest and least judgmental way to explain to kids why their friends have something they don't.[/quote]
