I have a friend who now has a DD that is in her 20s and has secured a training contract with a top magic circle law firm down in London. We raised our girls together so I know what the girls childhood was like.
Friend and her daughters dad were never in a relationship, both very involved in their daughters life though. Neither of them had high paying jobs (Warehouse work and TA). Friend lived mortgage free though from inheriting her parents house.
Her daughter did lots of clubs, including getting several hours of private tennis coaching a week from about age 8. Her daughter did play competitively and well.
The girl went to a Grammar School, often ranked the best state school in the North.
Friend acts as though she grew up on the breadline, and has built herself from nothing. I appreciate she's the first in her family to go to uni and has done very well off that but I'm fed up of her acting like her child was deprived. AIBU?
