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!

We have 2 yoghurt pots and a piece of string.

I think the OP sounds lovely, starting this thread just so everyone can take the piss out of her. I've been ROTF. Nobody in their right mind who really think what she claims to.

OP do you like your 'gated estate'??

BluelightsAndSirens · 16/12/2012 22:57

What were you aiming for when you started the thread then sexualclaws?

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 22:57

catgirl1976geesealaying · 16/12/2012 22:58

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 16/12/2012 22:58

takataka · 16/12/2012 22:59

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 16/12/2012 22:59

No quick that one doesn't have blood on it. Op's is bloody blue Grin

OliviaPeaceOnMumsnet · 16/12/2012 22:59

@SexyClaus

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.

Well, if you'll just read the guidelines....
Happy Christmas one and all.

catgirl1976geesealaying · 16/12/2012 22:59

Get you two with your fancy string

We can't afford string you stealthy-boasty bastards

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 22:59

I do quite like it takataka as you feel safe and secure and everyone knows one another. It's also very quiet as there is no through traffic. I don't always like the oneupmanship that goes on though - if the Jones have a new car, the Smiths go and buy one too. It's all a bit materialistic and banal TBH

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

Speak for yourself, love. If you had neighbours like mine, that gated estate would be like manna from Tunbridge Wells.

catgirl1976geesealaying · 16/12/2012 23:00

I have to go to bed :(

5 more minutes then I'm off........

PurpleCrutches · 16/12/2012 23:00

String ?

We have to shout loudly Xmas Sad

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 23:01

Is Olivia telling me off?

OP posts:
gordyslovesheep · 16/12/2012 23:01

nope - it's the fact they are all shut in together in this tiny 'community' that puts people off - out me off when I purchased this place I am in now

this was on the market then - 2 years ago

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 23:01

takataka I'll be going to bed pretty soon - the Ocado man is coming before I have to take DCs to school

You utter, utter boastful bastards!! Xmas Angry
