Just for fun.

40s= aristocracy
30s=middle class
20s=working class
10s=underclass

I always thought I was middle class until I discovered because I was 16 I am indeed underclass.

and I guess if you’re one of the few who became a mother in your 50s you are a queen

Middle.

I'm not at all middle class.🙈

Well I am definitely aristocratic and I had my dd at 22. 😄🙄

What a load of twaddle. I have no idea what class I am. I think the classes are more fluid now than they ever were before.

Classic aristocrat here! I tick all the Mumsnet boxes, north London, post grad degrees, work full time, etc. But, I do answer the front door, so maybe not all the boxes!

Aristocracy (just). Really, really not. Middle of middle I'd say.

Working.

I was 21. No regrets.

I think this has changed over time. I had my first at 28, but that was nearly 50 years ago and was considered old to be starting a family. Definitely consider myself middle.

working class. Which is correct. I am.

Underclass but then I got a PhD and the son I had at 17 is set to go to LSE so I did better than most.
