That's so nice that you're able to take trips twice a year when he earns them- that sounds awesome! & it's kinda sad that you have to worry about sharing them because of the judgement. It's very considerate of you to be aware of the feelings others experience when you share- another reason I feel it's easier to navigate these things in "real life" because you get a feel for who you can share things with and when it's best not to get into certain things.Heather @ Raising Memories Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05196945014117018777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465867677762395374.post-69012214999171210122019-06-05T09:44:52.467-04:002019-06-05T09:44:52.467-04:00Social media has become such a depressing place fo...Social media has become such a depressing place for me.

A big part of that is that we're no longer trying to keep up with the Joneses, per se, as much as we are trying to keep up with the curated version of the Joneses that they choose to depict online.
