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!

Oh bloody dark blue is a colour!!!! I'm just so uncultured Grin

See now if the OP were claiming to be a Man, by now there would have been a fair few posts insinuating that he has an woefully small penis and all this boasting is by way of compensation.

So in the interest of equality, may I be the first to ask....

Do you have a particularly large and flappy fanny?

Do you have to insert Polyfiller where you once used lube?

Is it like throwing a pencil down a well?

Ploughing a field with a saveloy?

Is that what it's all about? Xmas Sad

Whats wrong with India?

BabylonElf · 16/12/2012 22:37

how do you interpret a couple of people referring to you as 'the posh one with the pearls' as them being jealous and hating people with more money than them? Confused

allchangeplease · 16/12/2012 22:37

erm, I'm afraid people sound hateful here Shock, so OP does not make it up that she comes across that.
What is she supposed to do - give away the money, or maybe we should just murder everyone wealthy? Russian revolutionaries have set an example so why don't follow Hmm!
If people were rude to her, she has a right to be upset/sensitive about it. Wealth doesn't remove sensitivity, you know.

GoldQuintessenceAndMyhrr · 16/12/2012 22:38

I think Dark Bloody Blue makes more sense. Would be an interesting shade of Violet.

takataka · 16/12/2012 22:38

what is a 'gated estate'? a large garden with a fence you mean?

McChristmasPants2012 · 16/12/2012 22:38

worra Xmas Grin

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 16/12/2012 22:39

Don't be so bloody rude!!!

BabylonElf · 16/12/2012 22:39

Worra I am crying with laughter here, as is DH!!!!

Ploughing a field with a saveloy!!! Every day is a school day huh??

PartridgeInARustyBearTree · 16/12/2012 22:39

Did you know that you can't actually build a pyramid from Ferrero Rocher?

Even if you're an Ambassador.

I know this because I watched my BIL trying for 40 minutes one Easter....

WorraLorraTurkey · 16/12/2012 22:39

It's dark blue people, don't be so facetious

I see

Tell us more about these dark blue people and why they're so mean to you.

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 22:40

Nothing wrong with India at all. I was just saying I don't have a DD called it.

But do you only wear pearls, to every class? No wonder they are commenting! You need to vary your outfits more.

OliviaPeaceOnMumsnet · 16/12/2012 22:41

GUIDELINES for those who may need them.
We would ask that you bear them in mind please.

Procrastinating · 16/12/2012 22:42

The OP is showing off, that is not very nice.

The haterz are responding to the showing off, not to the fact that the OP has money.

I don't understand why you would need a gate on your estate. Why not just live somewhere nicer.

BabylonElf · 16/12/2012 22:42

Allchange

What about op showing some sensitivity towards those mumsnet terms facing times of hardship, particularly in the festive season - and not stealth boasting about gated estates etc.......

It seems in this case that wealth HAS removed her sensitivity. At least her sensitivity towards others.

BluelightsAndSirens · 16/12/2012 22:42

An yes the blueies, I understand what you mean totally.
