[quote=Anonymous]OP I'm not in your shoes exactly but wanted to say (1) you're doing great! and (2) in this area lots of us have anxiety about keeping up with the rest. I remember feeling so embarrassed when my oldest commented in total amazement that his friend had a basement (we don't.) But what I've found is that the envy/feelings of inadequacy don't really translate to the kids. Mine are now tween and teenager and they genuinely don't seem to care that some of their friends have much, much more. On those rare occasions when they do complain, I remind them that we have a safe place to live and plenty to eat, and that's more than 99 percent of the human beings on this planet.[/quote]
