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!

I am utterly filled with envy at the pâté and bread!

OP can't you be blisteringly nice to them until they realise you're actually a lovely person? Maybe they don't think calling someone 'the posh one with pearls' is that bad. At least they didn't say 'oh look, here's the big wanker'.

The only way into our house is through a gate that is locked and has an intercom on it. We have a cool camera which means we get to inspect people before they are allowed access to our back garden estate. (Admittedly recently I've been off work with a vomiting toddler so I'd have let in a Viking to rape and pillage as long as he promised not to be sick on me and was happy to have a conversation about something other than Peppa Pig and whether he needed a poo.)

Ok so all this is due to a house built back to front and a gadget obsessed dh but can I tell people I live on a gated private estate??? Please?!?

There's always one puds

yeah 'posh one with pearls' is just a description surely? do you take that as an insult?

I don't envy you or hate you for your position. Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't be a SAHM or send my kids to private school or live in a gated community or even drive a 4 x 4! Of course there are lots of things I would do if I had a lot of money (although I'm not skint), but the things you list are not included.

Well that was all good fun wasn't it!

Same time tomorrow for round 2????

I'll bring gin OliviaMumsnet

Maybe "posh one with pearls" is how they distinguish you from the other mum, you know, the one they call "posh one with diamonds"

"Too posh to pearl?"

night all

I can think of nothing worse then a gated community. I don't get why you would want to live so close to others if you can afford a bit of land also!?

There is a road near us and it is a main road, very busy the houses are from 500k - £1.5 million and more. But they are so close to each other.
I just can not see how that can compare to a equally big house in a secluded area, with a couple of acres, for roughly the same price.

Basically, I don't envy you OP, i could think of nothing worse.

So sorry Babylon, I got distracted. I don't think the chilli crisps would give you heartburn, but > hem < I'm afraid it's too late!

I understand OP

I see that people jealous of me and my coopland sausages rolls when they are having to queue up in Greggs.

I had someone shout posh bitch at me the other day when I came out of Argos with a necklace and they had their old primark one.

I'm fed up of it tbh. Us rich biatchez need to stick together.

I hear you sister.

We've got 4 acres TwoFaced. Gated doesn't mean it's all hemmed in.

I really don't think you can assume they're jealous.
The pearls and your accent maybe your most memorable features.
I was often described as the tall posh one when I was younger. These things are sooo relative-I was well off compared to the majority of people in the deprived area I lived in.
I'm not jealous of your car-my dream car is a Smart car and there are plenty of 4x4s parked on estates that don't have gates-so not necessarily sign of vast wealth, sometimes just a sign of spending all your cash on the car.
I'm not jealous of your private schooling-I turned down private schooling for my kids just as my parents did for me-we have relatives willing to pay, but don't agree with it and don't see the need for it.
Can't see the need for gates so not jealous of that either.
I honestly feel happy for friends that live in bigger houses than me-so nice to have space. I have friends who have swimming pools and friends on benefits and we all have our ups and downs. Yes of course some more money would be helpful for some of them, but jealously doesn't come up because well we have some class

define but it's where they buy their sausage rolls that makes a person

I'm from the North so I'm entirely made up of Greggs sausage rolls with a smidge of stottie.

Gated community is a bit Naff IMHO. 4x4 unnecessary unless you live up a track or on a farm.

Private school - well whatever.

You sound a bit vulgar TBH.

A 4 x 4 OP?

Are you one of those mothers that taps her fingers impatiently on the steering wheel whilst a person is walking across a zebra crossing? In a hurry to get your brat child to ballet. How I love to tap your windscreen and shout cunt and raise my middle finger. I love to do that, especially if I see little kids in the back.

SAHM? Me thinks husband is probably. away on business in London and paying a Thai lady in a basement flat in Baker Street for sex I saw it all in my 19 years as a maid--

Why do you assume people are jealous? Are you getting vibes off people? Maybe they just don't like you?

takataka they were only locked in (as far as I know - I wasn't actually there of course) from the early hours of Sunday morning and it was the eighties so nothing was open anyway.

I'm quite at how cheap a 5-bed house in that particular enclave is to buy in this day and age. I can only imagine that the tradition has continued and this is reflected in the price.

OP tell me where you buy your pastry covered goods and I will tell you whether they are jealous or not

My niece currently lives in a huge house, drives a 4 x4 and her 3 children go to private school. She and her H also own several other properties.

Recently it turns out her H was leaving her for the (younger) office bike. Said bike had previously shagged the CEO who promptly sacked the H for taking his slut girlfriend. He now can't pay the mortgage and my niece is struggling to find a job after so long at home.

The whole pack of cards is now falling down and my poor niece is picking up the pieces. So OP don't be so smug because sometimes life has a nasty way of biting back!

Can I just thank you, Sexy, for your amusingly pearly thread on a grim night?
The opportunity to address a stranger as Sexy without attracting a swarm of hairy-hands has been inexplicably pleasing, as well :)

I do hope you'll come back and update us with tales of insults from the common swine, before whom your pearls are as ... well, as a 4x4 before a pedestrian crossing. Must be such a trial.

Sorry to hear you need multiple toilets downstairs! There are many possible treatments for incontinence these days; perhaps your private doctor could refer you to a top-notch urologist.

Nighty night! Mwah!
