[quote=Anonymous]As always, every child is different. Some will take not having as many things as a real issue. Every family is different too. As parents, we just have to evaluate these issues carefully. And, it is easier to say that everyone is welcoming if you are the wealthier family doing the welcoming. But, almost no one is exempt from teenage peer pressure to compare stuff. We're a solidly upper middle class family, but DC mentioned classmates who fly private as we walked to the back of the plane for Christmas. But, we're not a "keeping up with the Joneses" family and we can't even try at that level. The plus side is that I think ostentatious displays of wealth are ridiculed rather at my DC's school. Old dads picking up their kids in sports cars seem to get particular abuse from my DC's circle. [/quote]
