I just peaked at middle class wankerism

At a farm café... naturally. And daughter is on special diet, so she was eating her packed lunch. And she went to eat her apple ...I found my self saying "oh darling, let me wash your apple, it's got brioche crumbs all over it"

What a dick I am 🤣

Cool. Struggling to see why brioche crumbs would be a problem.

@neverknowinglyunreasonable The OP is laughing at herself. Not taking herself too seriously. It’s fun. Try it - you might like it!

OP is humble-bragging.

Brioche crumbs are a problem if you are gluten free or coeliac…

Haha! I know what you mean. My friend accidentally scratched her babies nose getting an organic pineapple into a shopping bag as the baby was in a forwards facing sling. Middle class injury. Hahaha.

Got Catherine Tate’s posh mum vibes there 😄

LittleBearPad · 05/04/2025 12:21

The thread is pure MN - not you OP!

But the replies 🤣

We have snark, then accusations of humble bragging then dietary issue reminders.

Been there OP!

Really not much of a humble brag. Eating an apple in a farm shop. You need to raise your sights.

I recently found myself saying to my DD in the supermarket "this is just ridiculous, it's the second time they don't have any sourdough"

I hate myself

Gooseberry and cinnamon yoghurt 😂

ItsCalledAConversation · 05/04/2025 12:27

@Locutus2000 its not a humble brag if it includes the phrase “what a dick I am”.

TonTonMacoute · 05/04/2025 12:27

The sunshine has brought the vipers out I see! 🙄

I was huffing and sighing because Waitrose hasn't had any reblochon cheese, so I haven't been able to make any tartiflette this winter.

SirChenjins · 05/04/2025 12:28

I trust you said it loud enough so that the surrounding tables could hear?!

Extra points if you followed it up with a “remember the time we made brioche darling? What are ingredients are needed for brioche darling? Do you remember darling? etc etc and on and on with the performance parenting questions…

Maitri108 · 05/04/2025 12:30

Jocasta fed the pony the organic carrots again. I did grin when I heard myself.

TokyoKyoto · 05/04/2025 12:31

One of my children is intolerant to quinoa. I've never had to say it because quinoa is easy to avoid, but it still gives us a chuckle once in a while

AquaPeer · 05/04/2025 12:32

No, you peaked at middle class wankerism when you decided to cosplay a mid 2000s parody of a middle class wanker

This! It’s not a behaviour to be proud of, that’s for sure

Think you should tell the whole world that it’s only the middle classes that eat fruit- I’m not sure everyone else got that memo

Here you go! Ocado....
https://www.ocado.com/products/masson-petit-reblochon-de-savoie-645957011

-- probably not unpasteurised but should do the trick. (And you might need two as it's a petit reblochon.)

Comedycook · 05/04/2025 12:35

Tough crowd op...

I disagree.

I think OP is cringing at herself.

She’s come on here to share her embarrassment.

It’s a bit like when you catch yourself saying something an older person or your mum would say and you’re mortified because you never thought you’d be ‘that person’.

Am hearing Catherine Tate offer Tristram an apple a cinnamon YOh-gurt now!!

Funnywonder · 05/04/2025 12:37

I get that it's amusing but I'm still at the 'oops, not the dented tin of baked beans darling' stage. Hoping to have some middle class woes before I die.

ohnowwhatcanitbe · 05/04/2025 12:38

I have managed to swerve middle class wankerism today. We are having pizza for tea, and I have talked myself out of buying it from Waitrose, and will get it from Tesco instead.😁
