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

[SexyClaus]

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!

But are you very happy?

A saveloy is a sausage

Jesus was a Carpenter

What's wrong with some people?

Ah, a homophone

Ive just googled gated estate...do you live in South Africa?

Otherwise I have no idea, why anyone would want to live in one/ why you think others would be jealous that you do

Eh? Wheres the homophobe?

Oh sorry, homophone, must be something posh cos aint got a clue what it is.

We no likey homoglobes here.

Oh FGS! Don't chip in if you can't understand my first point or can't be bothered to read the whole thing!

I always like to guess whether the op will make it to the end of a thread.
She is doing quite well. I am guessing she will bow out near the end.

op, the trouble is, if you were really serious about your subject, you would have worded it a bit differently.
If you wanted a serious discussion about your subject matter, you wouldnt have been quite so flaunty about your alleged wealth.

I would say to bear in mind, that people can and do get fired or made redundant quite quickly.

A bit of humility goes a long way as well.

but what i am wondering why is the E missing from your name.

A homophone is like a single phone. As opposed to a double, or Dualphone, which has a dual, for dualling. So, in other words, one phone, with buttons.

there is a gated community at the end of our road - on the old A5 main road opposite a chippy and next to a very 'spit and sawdust' pub- very classy - also houses sold for around £350k and now fail to sell for £215K - great investment they where

also they have postage stamp gardens

OP who you talking to???

do you have a shop in your gated estate? does it sell condensed milk and stay open all night?

Why do I keep getting asked if I live in SA? There are lots of gated estates round here.

Do you live in SA though? Almost as important as car colour.

are they also overlooked on 4 sides, gordy ?

yeah, I've seen ones like that

The OP has a phone as well?

That's well posh

We have to run for old Ma Baker on the corner

I don't know puds but I do know I am really confused about people in general now. This whole thing has been totally baffling.

3 - our road down one side, main road out front, pub on the left and a stinking semi dried up brook to the back - behind which lies a (adopts Miranda style whisper) council estate

"I love that people always try and pretend that wealthy = chavvy."

No, OP. you still don't get it wealthy isn't chavvy on its own. Wealthy but keeps it themselves = classy. Wealthy but posts/boasts about it on the Internet = chavvy. The latter would describe you.

I suspect the reason why other mums at your kids classes describe you as 'posh with pearls' is because you're an inverted snob, an utter bore and highly unpleasant, if your OP is anything to go by.

Have a word with yourself?

Nope, don't live in SA...although I fear I might have to emigrate after this debacle

gordy thats not even expensive...

Just to go back to your OP and help you with your bafflement...you say:

I live in a gated estate, drive a 4x4, am a SAHM and send my children to private school

These are not the things people don't like about you.

HTH
