I know the type. Usually it is all about appearances and upkeep. Half the time those with the perfect looking lives are the most miserable.
My friends and I call them the, "pretty people" in our home town. We know most of them casually but are not "in". They don't seem to mind including my crowd when they need someone to help out in the classroom or at the school carnival. Amazing how "in" we are then.
I am fascinated with the lady who lives across the street. She is one of the beautiful people who seems to have it all. Her husband is super good looking and works as an executive at a Fortune 500 Company. He makes so much money that his wife does not have to work and is a full time Mother.
When the kids are at school a variety of beautiful women come by and visit her and then she will drive off with them and do lunch. I see her with a large group of fancy looking women at the local Starbucks all the time. I also see that she is always coming back from the fancy mall with bags of clothes. She seems to be part of the idle rich who lunch, socialize and shop all the time.
What really impresses me is how many friends she has. A new fancy friend is coming by nearly every day. All her friends seem to be really fancy and incredibly poised. They are all so well dressed. I suspect other wives of local executives.
Do you pity or admire the social life of this type of women?
What you may not realize is that, inside, they've all stripped down to bras and panties for tickle fights.
That being said, I neither envy nor despise them. I really have a problem with those who take issue with the SAHMs just because they exist. To me, keeping the household going, taking care of the kids, dealing with the daily mound of homework, etc., is an honorable existence in and of itself.
Now where I do have a problem is when SAHMs complain about their lives, or spend their lives swinging a tennis racket while the household duties are not attended to and the hubby is busting his nuts to make money. I have a friend whose wife spend her entire day hanging out with her friends, while the house was a wreck, the laundry wasn't done, the kids were struggling in school, and a Stouffer's frozen dinner was being served every night. No, she wasn't banging the tennis pro, but she was hanging out with friends, not holding up her end of the bargain, either.
i would not envy them one bit.
its all apperances.
they could be the most shallow people or they could be the most profound people. either way i am not interested in strangers lives (outside of CD that is).
i preoccupy my time with my relations and with my people. why worry about others?
if i didnt have friends or other people around maybe i would feel like i had to envy them. but i dont. i have good friends. and tho we are not in the higher echelons of society, we are very good friends and thats what matters most.
i am fortunate to have a tight group of friends. male and female. we have grown up together and are seeing our kids grow up together. i couldnt ask for more. would other people envy me and this group? possibly. but that doesnt interest me. it shouldnt interest you either.
and as a neighbor you should be friends with them. im friends with my neighbors.
Are you joking? Because you might have a point. In most neighborhoods you never see rich folks flaunting. They are usually very private and more reclusive.

MAN, You sure are a nosey neighbor. You see all the comings and goings of your neighbor and read the names on her shopping bags and see that she hangs out a Starbucks. I wouldnt want you for a neighbor.
Why dont you just go over and introduce yourself to her? Make friends than you can hang out as well.

Funny, I thought she was describing the life of a Madam. It just sounds so much like the lifestyle of what I've seen described in past news reports relayed by neighbors of people that were arrested for such activities. Not that this is in anyway what's going on, its just the first thing that popped into my head while reading this tale.

You have too much time on your hands if you give a rip about your neighbors circle of friends...
