[quote=Anonymous][quote]I hope some readers realize that there can be added stress for the rich host. So if guest visits a house rich person, guest should act natural and try not to let your jealousy ruin the preexisting relationship. As the guest, try not to be extra critical of this person. Guest thinks that if host can afford this home, then this dinner party should be perfect. For example, if host serves Milwaukee's Best but guest drinks Heineken at home, guest is disappointed. Guest thinks host is disrespecting them when the truth is that host likes M's Best. As another example, if guest invites host to a bday party, guest now expects a nicer gift because host can afford it. Guest expects more from host in every way. Guest may even expect host to lend money if needed. Or when host shows the house to be polite, guest may think host is bragging. There are complex mind games at play here. So this particular homeowner prefers to meet at a restaurant. I completely understand.

I know that many of you don't see this and disagree, but this is a real problem that does exist (at least for some hosts and some guests). [/quote]

Wow, gosh, I never thought of this before. I'm so sorry life is so stressful and I truly see now how this is a real, and probably rampant problem and there are so many house-rich folks suffering in silence right now. I'm sure that the only reason people are extra-critical of you is because of your beautiful house, and not for any other reason having to do with who you are. Maybe we can form a separate forum on DCUM for house-rich mcmansion owners who have been wounded and insulted by ignorant, jealous and petty poorer people. We could even have our own dinner parties where there's no fear of being criticized for serving wine that's too cheap, and no chance of receiving a hostess gift that is not adequate to our esteemed residences.
