I don't want to be rude and I don't mean to be rude/offend anyone but I don't know how else to word this question. I live in a neighborhood that's filled with rich, snobby people with spoiled kids. I mean, it's not like mansions or anything but we're definately in the better half the average income kind of place. Now, my friend, whom I love dearly is on the poor side. Her house can basically fit in my house like 3 times and my room is double the size of hers and she shares hers with her sister. Well, I don't care about how priviledged [sp?] people are and stuff but I do feel bad about inviting people over. Like I want to invite my friend over but I'm afraid to because I feel like a total b**** and a snobby spoiled girl. How do I get over this and invite her for the first time over my house?

Sure, your friend might have a small house, but I'm sure she has other great things in her life to be thankful for. I know how you feel. Whenever I have people over, I often hear them say "Oh wow your house is so big!" If she starts doing that, just say "thanks" and change the subject. That way, you're appreciating the compliment and you won't sound snobby. Just because you have a big house does NOT make you "spoiled." If the girl is a good friend, she would see that it's obvious you are inviting her over because you want to spend time with her... not show off how big your house is.

My friends have huge houses compared to mine, but it really doesn't matter. If she does say something like, "Wow your house is huge compared to mine!" just say thanks. When i first went over my friends' houses I said something like that to which they replied, "Yeah but I like how cozy your house is." That really made me feel happy about living in a smaller house and neighborhood. Hope I've helped!!!
