Going to an old friends house today for a play date. She is also a sahm and used to be a nutritionist before she had her son. She is married to a doctor and lives "there."
We hadn't talked for over 10 years and bumped into each other one day in the mall play area. Had no idea that we were both sahm's, lived near each other, or both had little boys just a few months apart, had problem pregnancies, both hate our MIL's, AND both also had a horrible time breastfeeding. Needless to say, we are both very glad we have found each other again.
Wondering if a maid will answer the door? Ha! I'm sure she doesn't have a maid but curious if she is still as down to earth as she used to be, or if I will be amazed an awed by my tour of her spacious home?
I love when I go to someone's house that is big and beautiful and they are raving to me about throw pillows that they picked up at a garage sale, etc. When someone starts talking about all the people they hired and all the mistakes they made, it's time for me to get my coat. Any of you ever experience elitest attitudes and run the other direction? Or like it?

We only hang out with cop families, so wealth isn't an issue.
My boss is somewhat wealthy and the epitome and what you're talking about. The "self-made man" superiority complex that looks down on everybody else.
But he's a good boss... he stays out of my way and lets me do my job. And pays well.
Here in LA? Elitist? It's an art form.
I find it amusing when people are full of themselves. I find it a sign of insecurity. Here's hoping for a fun playdate.
Oh it was totally fine. Though my whole house could have fit in her oversized living room. She didn't act like it at all. She's very down to earth and thrifty, thank God!
ML - Consider yourself very lucky that you have found friends at the department. Cops and wives at ours are really on the wild side and we ARE NOT so we don't mesh too well with them. I wish that I could find some nice LEO families to befriend. Really the only people that really "get it." Will keep looking though :)
Actually, one's a LEO in a neighboring city and one's Parole/Probation for the county. In the actual department, there really isn't anybody we see socially, and only a couple that we'd like to be our schedules never mesh.
Husband's department is not wild at all... which is good. I reserved for a dept. in Virginia and was appalled at the promiscuity and wife-swapping. Yikes. Glad the job didn't come through for husband so we stayed where we're at.
My SIL and BIL are multi-millionaires and when they hosted Christmas dinner a couple years ago a butler answered the door and served pink champagne and appies while we waited for dinner. Before dinner chat was about this item or that, and all the fancy things they do and buy. *roll eyes*
They flew a chef in from some European country to prepare the 8 course dinner that had a different wine for each course. It was excessive and over the top and made me HUGELY uncomfortable. I was SO happy to get home to my simple cozy home again... :)
