A friend just bought her first house - we just bought our third house. I don't remember being so bragadocious about buying my first home. None of our other friends are homeowners and she sent an email to everyone noting that they are homeowner and mentions their homeownership in every conversation. Is it just me or is this obnoxious?

I get that, but I guess I felt like she was trying to rub it into our other friends who are not "homeowners" [ Reply | More ]

I kind of agree with OP - constantly referring to oneself like that would get a bit old after awhile. Maybe ask her if she is going to have a housewarming party and if she needs help. Then she can talk to all of her guests about being a homeowner and get it out of her system. [ Reply | More ]

sounds a bit insecure or maybe she is just very excited that she finally bought a house. [ Reply | More ]

I think it is about as obnoxious as people sending constant updates on their children, like "Sam at the Park" or "Sam enjoying ice-cream". One of my friends, who can't conceive yet, finds these emails incredibly hurtful. And your comment about your third house makes you sound like you are secretly competitive which isn't cool. At least she's forthcoming about her happiness and pride. [ Reply | More ]
