To get annoyed that a middle class life style is not "real life"?

[Roseflower]

I don't get- why is trying to move to a nice, safe and quiet area with a good school not "real life" as some people like to tell me?

How is this any less "real" that living in a crime ridden, ugly area with an unsafe school?

Seems its only real life if your let your child actually live in the middle of all sorts...

Does anyone else get this attitude sometimes?

Hufsa = the fount of all right-on knowledge.

Why thank you BarmyArmy. You don't think it sounded racist then I presume?

yeah. :) It's just all I could think of on short notice. I'm on a diet and it's making me stupid :o

He's African and people ask him to talk about Africa, and when he speaks of the bustling metropolis he grew up in and his posh boarding school they are ...I think they expect him to talk about hunting lions or something. It makes me LOL every time...

lol fio. He clearly didn't get a good private school education.

My children are fine being sheltered in our cosseted semi-rural idyll. If they want to have an insight into so called reality, they can watch reality tv when they are older .

I'd rather live in the worst area in the country that watch reality tv. Yuck.

Oh I hate reality tv and generally eschew it, but possibly educative for these purposes (i.e. what goes out ... out there!), and a lesser evil than living the experience imo!

COLLABORATOR!

Watching reality TV is EXACTLY the same as if you were personally mugging passers by and shovelling the money into Simon Cowell's pockets while simultaneously gobbing off Jeremy Kyle and Louis Walsh.

I quite like CDMW though.

Is she awful? I only like ones with awful people.

BOOORING!

I've made myself fell sick now.

Should I ask Mumsnet to delete the post above?

YOU decide!

Peace out.

who (or what) is Louis Walsh?

Short, fat, gay, irish bloke who managed Westlife and Boyzone. 'Judge' on X-factor.

About 103.

Ta TCNY. He is not on the radar here in ORRRstraylia.

notsue - I have felt physically sick numerous times while reading this thread. I fear your dp has some kind of sex addiction. He sounds totally obsessed. You say he equates sex with love, that is such a cop out. I am not hearing any love in his treatment of you at all.

ccpccp - I think if you took a straw poll here, or anywhere, from women who had been married 11 years and have children, you would find that the frequency of sex in MOST marriages diminishes over time.

wrong thread - ignore me - living up to my name.

Hahaha, I was so confused epicfail ...I was like, is this another joke I don't get b/c I'm not British? :o
