I feel IWBU in this situation, but how could I have avoided it?

We Recently sold my home, and am buying a brand new 5 bed property, it's absolutely beautiful, and our dream home. After a crappy few years, it's something to really be thankful about. At football this morning one of the other mummies asked how the move was going, and if she could see the house on Rightmove. I obligated her, and a few other mummies joined in having a nose (all fine, don't mind) on the touchline. Another mom came over and joined us pleasantly, then got a bit snidey and basically said, that we were lucky to afford it, but its not nice to be rubbing peoples faces in it. I was a bit shocked as I certainly wasn't showing off, just factually answering someones questions and showing the house on my phone after I'd been requested to. Waas there anyway I could of handled this differently?

I'd be jealous OP YANBU at all. Hope the move goes smoothly

You did well not to give her a death stare and say 'sorry, I don't remember asking you over here to look at this. Feel free to leave.'

Oh forget it. And I certainly wouldn't apologise!

My boss was telling me about his wife redecorating their kitchen in revenge for him buying a supercar. The kitchen cost £20k less than my entire house. I didn't think he was being showboaty just that he earns a heck of a lot more than me (there was a funny story that went along with this which is why he was telling me about it).

Congrats by the way :)

And what a sour-faced madam she sounds. I mean, I don't really like new builds, but I'm sure I could put together a pleasant and polite response or manage to ignore someone if I couldn't manage that. I think you have to be quite abrupt back to people like that, but sometimes its hard when you are shocked.

Its not as if you went round individuals saying "Look at my home. These are photos of the 5 bedroom, 1/2 million£ house I'm buying".

You get people who for whatever reason can't be happy for others. Her issue, not yours.

Lovely house. I think I would've been pretty sharp with her.

Lovely house, ignore the jealous hag

This reminds me once of when I was 11 or 12 with my first mobile ( a huge brick that was my mum's old one) and was only to be used to call her and tell her I was on my way home. One day, I was sat on a wall outside the school minding my own business, typing in her number to give her a call when an older girl came over and said I should stop showing my phone off! I was gobsmacked and refused to get it out near school again.

I don't think you were being unreasonable at all, I'd have told her to f-off.
Congratulations on finding the perfect home
