[quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't. Never have. And I had some wealthy mom friends. Still do. But, then again, I was raised in a socialist country where my family was better off than most, but still had our small basic car, and I have never felt jealous or embarrassed by anything. In fact, I am pretty proud of how much we have, even if it is potatoes compared to many wealthy families in the DMV. DH is American and I see this embarrassment, not jealousy, a bit with him and Fil. Fil once pretended some nice car was his when buying a TV and then carried the tv from that car to his truck! So, I can see why DH would grow up to have this complex. If I tell kids no to something because we can't afford it, he will actually say...no, no we can let me see about it next month. Also he is a total pushover when it comes to DD. Bought her a brand new car SUV,(that we could afford) that she crashed within months. Guess who told him it was a stupid idea for months? Yes, and then I gave in, not to be the Grinch![/quote]
