People who are rich are always getting honored at shul dinners, are obsessed with designer handbags, and are desperate to pretend their lives are perfect.
Every woman has friends who she regularly meets for coffee where she discusses all her problems.
Chat groups with lots of drama.
People discuss their entire lives at work.

I love this thread!
People are always sipping lattes as they drive anywhere.
Tehillims are always well worn. They're never new.
Husbands always seem to be more feminine than any man I've ever met in real life.

People don't live in Brooklyn or Baltimore. They live in treelined suburbs called Ellenville.

People lose their appetite rather quickly. They'll order an expensive meal at a restaurant and leave it untouched.

They talk about feelings and their dialogue doesn't sound masculine. It sounds like what a girlfriend would say, followed by, "I'm late for Maariv."

My family is the only one in the world who doesn't make big upsherin parties and doesn't touch the kosel. I guess it doesn't sound good in a story to say she stood a foot away from the kosel and davened.

As it turns out, most rich people are genuinely miserable.
Husbands can only be warm and loving if they are poor.
All woman have time for frequent coffee dates with friends.
All bad things occur when it’s raining.
Grandparents with dementia hold the secret keys to solve all mysteries anyone may have.
Teens at risk can be brought back to frumkeit easily, all you need is cholent and kugel.
Behind every person running a charity event is a miserable spouse.
All poor people have a rich brother who is not giving as much tzeddakah as family would like , family does not care about concept of enabling bad patterns …
Secular people cannot pronounce any Jewish name whatsoever , even if it is an easy name like Ari , etc.

Main characters are usually Mimmy and Simmy:
Poor yet happy with family relationships, versus the BFF who is wealthy with difficult loneliness and controlling family members.

And a dead marriage where they pretend to get along at shul dinners

Woman scrub invisible spots on the counter when they are angry or anxious, until it shines.
Me just takes a huge slice of the closest thing next to me and shove in in my mouth

The neighbor who brings over a cake and they are instantly best friends.
Or the clique of neighbors who completely ignores.

I didn't open a magazine in years so maybe things changed.
But the recipes.
Everyone has money for every expensive ingredient. It's a given its the norm and I'm simply living under a rock that I don't even know these ingredients exist.

And everyone’s kids are just dying to eat these “simple easy dinners” with multiple spices, sauces, and complicated steps.
