In your warped mind, criticizing something means not being able to handle it. I see how it is.

Oh, you sweet summer child.

Nice try at a barb there but you again avoid the issues. It’s well known that people tend to display positive things on social media instead of negative things going on in their lives. If you can’t handle other people’s positive-filtered lives, why are you on social media? It will only aggravate your depression.

pp, you don't have to live that way

DP. Nobody said this.

But since you asked, my opinion is that posting Christmas dinner with grandma, whether it is at Grandma's middle class house or at her party at the Ritz, would only be bragging if it had the tagline: "My grandma is richer than yours." Otherwise, it is just sharing your happy evening with grandma, which will of course be different for different people.

If you can't handle such displays and find yourself frequently offended, it's best to get off of social media, stat. Social media is seriously bad for some people's mental health because it is designed for people to share what they find joyful or positive about their own lives. Your photos displaying a MC or UMC lifestyle, even aspects of it that you take for granted as mundane, might inspire jealousy in people who are financially struggling. Your photos of your babies/kids could be toxic to some who are infertile.

Living life is not humble bragging.

Is there no difference between living life and publishing it for the whole world to see?

So you’re against posting any life details on social media? Or only against it when people wealthier than you post?

We get it, you think there's no such thing as showing off or being ostentatious. The rest of us know better.

Nope I’m solidly middle class and don’t have much to show off to other private school folks, but I’m not inherently jealous of others. It must be tough to live that way. If I ask what people are doing over the holidays I don’t expect them to lie about their trip to Paris. Nor do I care if they post about it on social media.

+1. Also stay off social media if you are the jealous type.

As to the kids, well kids will be kids and they post on social media. There are lots of wealth in the private schools, and it’s a fact of life your kid is going to see and experience it. I don’t understand why people are surprised by this when you signed your kid up for private school.

If you’re so sickened by what a bunch of teenagers are posting (teenagers that you’re stalking BTW), send your kid to public.

Hehe...who's the angry one?

Bullshit. You're just angry that someone has the audacity to post photos from their vacation. So ostentatious of them. Your envy is a bad look.

Rich or poor, no one is immune to the nasty bugs going around. We’re down for the count with a stomach bug. Just be grateful if you make it through the break without getting afflicted.

So what? Is there a certain wine price point at which you are 'allowed' to leave an empty bottle in the background of a photo?

Many of you are sad and petty. Be happy with what you have and what you spend money on. There will always be wealthier people.

Not a single bottle, nearly a dozen empty bottles at $500 each lol

OK but you googled the bottles?

+1 I’m curious why you google the bottles. Also, I do not expect people who are billionaires to drink the same wines or take the same vacations as I take.
