Should I be embarrassed about living in a trailer home?

[Anonymous]

I'm extremely embarrassed about living in a trailer home, and I'm afraid to tell my boyfriend where I live.

You should never be embarrassed about where you live. There may be some people who look down on it or have weird stereotypes, but screw 'em, they don't matter and probably don't know anything about it anyway.

Trailers serve a purpose between renting and buying. They are a real good option for a lot of people. It's why so many older retired people move into mobile homes. They are smaller and easier to keep up, less grounds and property maintenance, and often have community facilities.

I've lived in two of them myself. One in a trailer park, and the other out in the country on a farm. I liked both of them. As a matter of fact, recently I've thought about selling my house and buying a mobile home.

Tell your boyfriend. If it's a problem with him, then maybe you should consider who you really want for a boyfriend.

I don't think anyone should ever be embarrassed about where they live. Its yours and be proud. Some people try and look down on others for where they live or what they have and those are the kind of people you don't need to associate with in the first place. If he is your boyfriend and cares about you he shouldn't care if you live in a trailer.

I used to live in a two story home with my father, an apartment near the beach, a one story home, and a trailer. Out of all those homes, I had the best times living in a trailer because It is nice and small and cozy. I do not think you should be embarrassed but I do understand if you do feel that way. there are many stereotypes about people who live in trailers. For example, some people think that people who live in a trailer are dirt poor or trash but that is not always the case. If you have been perceived as someone who has been brought up good and you have respect for yourself, then I see that there is not need to be embarrassed to tell your boyfriend :)

No, I did when I was a baby but not for long, later my parents moved into an apartment which led to buying a home. Don't be embarrassed he should not judge you for living in ANY place. I know some places that have REALLY nice manufactured homes, but they are not the standard double they actually look nice for manufactured homes but is mainly for the 55+ community.

Be thankful for what you have and you will be given more. Not to be thankful and what you have will be taken from you.

You shouldn't be embarrassed. Everyone has to start somewhere. It has nothing to do with who you are as a person.

There is nothing wrong with that. If he is embarrassed of you, then you should be embarrassed of him.

Tell him.

It is your home, you should not be embarrassed of the place you live.

No you shouldn't be embarrassed most trailer homes, can be nice and probably even expensive? I lived in the Projects when I was younger and trust me it doesn't get any worse then that.

At least you have your own home. Fuck societal pressures and live your life.
