To be fed up with jealous people who seem to hate anyone who has more money than them?

I seem to epitomise what some people hate - I live in a gated estate, drive a 4x4, am a SAHM and send my children to private school. Why does this mean that some people think this gives them a right to be rude to me or about the choices my family make? I would never look down on anyone who doesn't have or do what I do, so why is it ok to do it the other way round? I am so fed up with it! And you know the ones I really can't stand? Champagne socialists who think they are all left-wing with socialist ideals but are really just like me!

why do you need to come to a site, with people struggling with christmasand bills to gloat on what you have.

sleepyhead · 16/12/2012 21:38

God, your life is made just soooooooo hard by these haterz. How can you possibly stand it?

Honestly. Re-read your post. Why even bother wasting the time to type it?

WorraLorraTurkey · 16/12/2012 21:39

I'd work on your self confidence OP as you clearly seem to be lacking in it...

No, come on. Someone explain to me why someone can say to me that they think it's unethical to send my children to private school but I wouldn't be allowed to say that I think it's selfish to live in a massive house and drive your children to the local comp everyday in a 4x4 rather than pay the school fees.

You see I'm not gloating - you are just jealous you don't have it. I haven't taken your money away so why does it bother you that I have and you don't?

ViperInTheManger · 16/12/2012 21:41

Maybe it's not what you have that makes people dislike you OP but your need to point it out.

BluelightsAndSirens · 16/12/2012 21:41

In answer to your question, I would see a car and a house as an essential but private education over rated and not needed.

MrsTerrysChocolateOrange · 16/12/2012 21:41

You and your friends sound delightful. I'm Envy not to hang out with you.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 16/12/2012 21:42

How boring

gordyslovesheep · 16/12/2012 21:42

hmmmm I read you 'name' and cnba to read any further - hth x

sleepyhead · 16/12/2012 21:42

No one is jealous of you. Really, it's all in your head. Live your life - be happy.

Do you have a cleaner?

Champagne socialists vote against their economic self interest in favour of greater equality.

You want to hang onto your higher income and perpetuate your advantage for your kids (bet you hate inheritance tax)

To me that's the difference. And that's why YABU

Get lost OP, and don't let the spikes on your "gated estate" poke your bum on the way there.

BabylonElf · 16/12/2012 21:43

Stealth boast????

OP your post screams, me me me and I've got this and I've got that and I don't have to work blah blah blah.

Do you know what, I have 3 DCs, I live in a rented home (not a house or a gated estate, a HOME) my DCs go to the local pre school and primary. I'm a SAHM as I'm on ML at the moment.

DH is self employed, he works his fingers to the bone to provide for us, we drive a 10 year old car and a 27 year old van, we also run a motorbike and a 26 year old car, we don't have two spare pennies to rub together, but I'd happily place a bet that I'm more happy and fulfilled than you are.

Otherwise why would you be boasting posting about jealousy?

Merry Christmas.

0/10

Or perhaps -1/10 due to the bad grammar and punctuation,

MrsTerrysChocolateOrange · 16/12/2012 21:44

It's a bit like 'Posh' Spice. If you have to say it, it's not true.

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 21:44

Well you wouldn't be allowed past security anyway MrsTerry.

Bluelights - why is "private education over rated and not needed"?

OP posts:
AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 16/12/2012 21:44

You don't sound very sexy, love, you sound like you have a broom stuck up your arse

Happy Xmas

McChristmasPants2012 · 16/12/2012 21:44

i really don't give a a damn about money, expensive houses or private education heck i really don't want holidays abroad

what matter to me is spending time with my little family, and i bet with your husband working all the time and your children in a private school i bet you don't get as much time as me with DC and DH.
