I know this is utterly stupid and it may not even be the reality here, but I somehow feel like it is. Maybe it’s just our own insecurities.

We had a full weekend with my husbands uncle (his deceased dad’s brother) and all of our cousins. They’re a family of dentists/doctors/ nurses and Lawyers. One of the dentists is married to the son of a very high up judge/ ex attorney. There’s even a major road in our city named after him. They are very nice people. Easy to talk to and get along with. I have no issue there, I’m more so embarrassed about where my husband and I are in life compared to them. They all went to college and make well over 6 figures. The house we were at was $2 million. I know not everything in life is about career and money but I feel so small in their circle. They ask what we’re doing and they even recommend sports leagues and people that do private swimming lessons and we can’t even afford that kind of stuff. It makes me feel so bad. If I had just gotten my college education before my marriage and kids like they all did I feel I’d be more significant and stable in life. None of them have made comments about my husband and I, I just somehow feel so poor around them. It’s my own insecurity and my husbands. We make good money to support our kids but we don’t make an excess to put them into private school or daycare or even do extra curriculars. I feel like such a failure. I wonder if they judge us or think low of us because we don’t have bachelor degrees. I know this sounds silly but it’s ruined my self esteem badly. I know I’ll recover soon. But for now I’m sad about it and wish I could give my children better.
