I'm fed up with being told that I don't understand the real world because I earn so much, that I shouldn't drive my daughter 1/2 mile to school in my Range Rover, that private schools are elitist and places I use to keep my children away from 'the poor', that I should consider myself 'lucky' that I live in luxury and that I shouldn't tell my children to be selective about what sort of people their friends are.

Well, I'm proud of my family's hard work and I think I can live my life as I please. And yes, people ARE responsible for their own destinies and we SHOULD judge more.

Ohhhh.....

Lucky OP. Can I compete with my go-cart? It has pedals an that.

A nice spouty thread for an otherwise boring Saturday night.

PatPending · 22/01/2011 21:39

Or Bentley, even

mutznutz · 22/01/2011 21:39

I just asked the under gardener, and he said that he thought the OP was BU, and the second footman agreed with him

You have a gardner to deal with your 'under garden'? Shock

Tell him mine could do with a wax when he's free Wink

tinierclanger · 22/01/2011 21:41

You might not
You shouldn't
They are
You should
You shouldnt
You can (because you're privileged)
Your birth circumstances massively affect your life chances

Ok? :)

PS am very happy, not remotely jealous

"...that I shouldn't drive my daughter 1/2 mile to school in my Range Rover" "...we SHOULD judge more."

Quite right.

You are lazy.

There. I have judged you.

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 22/01/2011 21:42

Range Rovers are very new money...nasty and rather common

LaurieFairyonthetreeEatsCake · 22/01/2011 21:42

You don't work harder than many others like hcps or nurses.

It's all down to luck, exploiting others or inherited wealth.

Which category is yours?

mellicauli · 22/01/2011 21:42

So you think we should judge more..but you don't seem very keen on the judgements so far on you and your lifestyle?

Catnao · 22/01/2011 21:43

mutznutz - of course you can borrow him, his topiary skills are second to none (and the second footman is nearly as good as the first with a pumice stone)

mutznutz · 22/01/2011 21:43

You bloody rich snob Summerbird Grin

pagwatch · 22/01/2011 21:45

Just because the op is rich and a twat can we not forget that rich people include the likes of bill gates Warren buffet who are clearly not self obsessed and lacking in basic human nicey wiceys

mutznutz · 22/01/2011 21:46

mutznutz - of course you can borrow him, his topiary skills are second to none (and the second footman is nearly as good as the first with a pumice stone)

Is it wrong to be so happy at the thought of having 3 men on their knees? Blush

mutznutz · 22/01/2011 21:48

Pagwatch The OP is indeed a twat (don't think you'll get much argument there) but as for being rich..unless we've seen their bank statements I'd take it with a pinch of salt and a dollop of ketchup Grin

Clarabumps · 22/01/2011 21:48

hahahaha!summerbird its always bound to happen on a saturday night..

i agree with the judgement that OP is a bit of a knob.
And is probobly sitting in a bedsit somewhere with her kids all sleeping in the same room.

and takes the bus to the worst school in the scheme.

lisad123isasnuttyasaboxoffrogs · 22/01/2011 21:49

yes i am so jealous about your lardy arse kid who gets little exsercie, learns nothing about hard work apart from how to choose rich friends to do her drugs with when she gets older and depressed due to lack of exsercice and self worth, because all peeople see is her money. Grin

Where as my dds learn about hard work by seeing us budget, earning pocket money and learning that everyone is worth something and never to judge others one first sight.

pointythings · 22/01/2011 21:49

Settling down with a rum and coke, that chav enough?Grin

PatTheHammer · 22/01/2011 21:50

Yeah.................not jealous.

Doing a great job there OP, carry on paying shit-loads of tax so my poor little DD and DS can have a nice education at their quaint little state school. Oh and I expect you are keeping me in a job too since I work in the public sector.

Yes, we are all eternally grateful for parents like you, blah, blah,blah.

Seriously, WHO is telling you these things? If its your so called friends then just buy some more that will be less critical of your lifestyle.

pagwatch · 22/01/2011 21:51

It isctroll week isn't it. We should start an out reach programme. Can I have one? I would be ever so nice. Although the governess is pretty strict when she's been at the sherry

mutznutz · 22/01/2011 21:52

That's good to hear pointythings it means you wont be able to give chase if we mug you for your rum and coke Hmm

G'wan...at least let us paupers stick a few straws in Grin

PatTheHammer · 22/01/2011 21:54

Oh yes and

'I think I can live my life as I please'

and

'we SHOULD judge more'

Both these statements sitting together in your last paragraph sum it up really.
