Over the last few weeks and months I have noticed more and more what a divide in the community there is between the Middle Class Mums and the Working Class Mums and it feels like we're back at school with the attractive, well turned out "popular" ones going one way and the kids from the council estates and highstreet branded gear going the other and just like when we were at school, I can't help but want to be more like the popular ones and would like for once to feel like I'm running with the in-crowd.
It feels bad though that my DD does not do the clubs, groups and other activities as the other mums one because I work and secondly because I really cannot afford the £4.50 a lesson fees! Also, I don't dare invite any of the mums to our house to try to make friendships as I work full time and struggle to keep the house tip top and would hate for them to see how we live!
I wonder though if I'm the only working class mum who is feeling the class divide at the moment?
I've name changed by the way as I don't want you to find out that I'm really a lower class bum and don't really shop at Boden at all, and instead just paw at the pages waiting for it to be on ebay the sale
AIBU?
to want to appear to be more working class than lower, I mean, working class
