Navigating the Insecurity of Smaller Homes in a World of Bigger Houses
A mother is struggling to explain to her children why their friends have bigger houses than them, causing her to feel insecure. Seeking advice on Reddit, she was encouraged to be honest with her children and explain that different jobs and priorities lead to different living situations.

It is important to emphasize the things they have and appreciate their own unique circumstances, rather than comparing themselves to others.
