To not want DDs uber rich friend for a sleepover

[THK]

There's no problem with the child but I don't want to feel as though I have to apologise for what we have or haven't got! By normal standards we fair well but don't come anywhere close to this childs background.
Am I being too touchy???

Let the girls make their own minds up.

If she has a sleepover and isn't impressed she is probably not someone your DD wants to be around.

Another point to make is, if this super-rich family have any moral values they will be bringing their DD up to be polite and accepting of others.

I've worked for wealthy families, lived in some amazing houses, but, tend to find the kids get driven everywhere, not allowed to play with the children in the same street "because the parents are jealous as our house is the biggest in the street" BS I say.

If this child wants to come for a sleepover with your DD then great

My friend who i've known since childhood still struggles, but, her door is always open and she would give you her last slice of bread to help you out that's just the type of person she is. Has nothing material, but, great values and that's more important.

THK - YABVVVVU and need to get over yourself. YOU have a problem with your lifestyle and are projecting it onto other people - like this friend of your daughter's.

You need to (a) do something about your lifestyle yourself OR (more realistically!) (b) make peace with yourself and be content in who you are and what you have.

Isn't there a quote somewhere from someone about the only person who can make you feel bad about yourself being yourself??

Norham Gardens - really! The uber rich who are used to being uber rich frankly can't be bothered to talk about it and simply giggle at the people you are describing! Those who grew up in what are now 3-4m houses (which have been done up) just snigger at what the new residents do with cutlery from their scruffy London monstrosities full of second hand furnitre

Megancleo - they never snigger at decent, honest, hardworking folk who do their best for their children and make their children welcome. I had it, mix with a lot who have gained it and live now, happily, in middle class poverty.

I grew up in a lovely rectory with a stable block and remember being so envious of my friend's cosy terraced cottage with roses around the door!

YABU to think that but can understand why - dc's tho are more interested in how much fun and junk they can have .

And by you reckening DS should NEVER have friends round - they're all richer than us . Funnily enough everyone loves coming here as a new estate with planty of social housing it has a park and very large areas to play in.
