[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As i said this was a very condensed version- we are clearly not alike and that is totally fine! They are into luxury, I am not. They all travel together to their second and third homes, we have one home. Their kids have the best of everything, my son has the best of a few things, they live in multi million dollar homes we live in a home that is lovely but not on that level. They belong to CC club and we belong to a local pool club. Bottom line is we ARE different, it is not my imagination.

So put these pretenses on to socialize when I know full well when my son graduates, they will not give us the time of day. And you know what? It is fine, really it is. I have a few very good friends who I adore, who are intelluectlal and interesting and accomplished and we have a great time together. I don't need to pretend with these parents from his sh cool. I just don't see the point, it would be an act not the fostering of a genuine friendship.[/quote]

What struck me about your posts is that everything you describe is material and superficial.  You really don't know anything about these people and I've not seen anything to indicate that they've been rude or standoffish to you.  Their houses, their cars, their CC memberships don't define who they are any more than your lack of these things define who you are.  Can you really not find anything in common with them?And, to say they wouldn't give you the time of day after graduation?!  How do you know?  You may not be in the same social circles but I doubt very much they'd snub you.  I also doubt that they're looking to develop a genuine friendship with you.  Your kids spend a lot of time together and they just want to get to know their kids' friends' parents a little more.  Totally normal.

You need to work on your mindset.[/quote]
