But how can strangers know that she lives in a gated residence, send her children to private school, and drives a 4x4, all of it? She then goes on to lash out at "champagne socialists".
The OP is not here to explain, and she did not see any point explaining any thing at all last night, she was dead set on "jealousy" as the only reason, which is why people responded like they did.
A carefully thought out OP might have actually sparked an interesting debate. Instead she came across as tactless and boastful.
If she had indeed spent any time on mumsnet prior to her thread, she would have seen that some people struggle to find money to buy food and presents for Christmas, and thought twice about her op.
I dare say it is worse to have to put up with not enough money for heat, food and Christmas presents for your kids, than some snide remarks.
I would gladly put up with the odd "rich bitch" and "the posh one with the pearls" in exchange for not wondering if I can afford to heat my house, and how much I can spend on food this week. But I am not jealous. I just get annoyed when people boast and gloat, without any empathy and compassion for people most. Arrogant and self centered, like Cameron and his henchmen.
I find it pretty offensive when boastful and tactless people brandish about them with "oh you are just jealous" if people raise an eyebrow at their attitudes.
