My son (Y8) goes to a grammar school with many wealthy kids there.
We are a comfortable 2 income graduate family and earn well. Live in a fab 4 bed Victorian house.
My son has made friends with some incredibly wealthy boys at school ( think swimming pools, 2 x range rovers in the drive, 3x foreign holidays per year) and has never brought any of them them home as i know he is ashamed of our home! He has been to their houses many times for sleepovers/afternoons in the pool, but won't return the invite. He says there's nothing to do here! I have tried to explain to him that money/houses/cars shouldn't be important if they are real friends, but he just gives me 'a look'!
It makes me so sad that he is ashamed of our lovely home! I'm sure the other parents must be thinking it's odd that we have never invited their children over!
