To not organise playdates because I don’t want other parents to judge our flat

[FreeBeeBird]

We live in a lovely but small 2 bed conversion flat on a very affluent area.
I don’t know all parents in DC class but out of the 7 or 8 I know, only an other couple lives in a similar flat to ours, everyone else has a nice house. I’d like to more actively encourage playdates for DC but I am a bit concerned that other parents might get a bit snobby about our place and judge where we live. I know it’s stupid and I shouldn’t care but I do and cannot shake this feeling off. How do I overcome this!
AIBU to feel this way?

If you think they’ll judge you, do you really want them as friends, for you or your DC?

All the more reason to invite them IMO. Sort the wheat from the chaff.

@Viscoelasticity true, I wouldn’t want them as friends. I just don’t want my DC to feel different

I know this thread is old now, but I just wanted to say I feel the same! And actually, I feel it on a few levels. Our house is smaller, our garden is smaller and lacks entertainment options, the house is cluttered and lacks storage so it's hard to tidy and clean it, and I don't have a whole load of space in my fridge (or cash!) to buy all the fancy snacks! I kind of think I might be battling a bit of depression and anxiety, as I know I could pull my sleeves up and change some of this and make more of an effort, but I just can't right now. Anyway, I just wanted to say I totally understand your feelings on the matter!
