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!

Not sure what you were expecting to achieve here op but you ought to know that you have come across as a bit of an entitled twat.

I'm sure you are really lovely in RL Xmas Smile

shadylane · 16/12/2012 21:58

Ah love, don't think you get it- sexy rich people with interesting lives never shout about it. So infra dig.

Aboutlastnight · 16/12/2012 21:58

I think as prejudices go, it's not a terrible one to live with, op. When you think of the challenges most other people face.

WorraLorraTurkey · 16/12/2012 21:58

Yeah but is the bag half full or half empty?

Never mind, I expect you've eaten the fucker by now Grin

OP since when does volunteering make someone immune from being a total and utter cunt?

Viviennemary · 16/12/2012 21:58

We all might be really rich with £100K in the bank and two houses. But we'd never dream of telling anyone that as it would be boasting. And just simply not done.

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 21:58

The "haterz" as you put it are a couple of people who I have to endure whilst I take my youngest to classes. Most of the mums are lovely but a couple insist on referring to me as "the posh one with the pearls" not quite under their breath.

also i don't think a 4x4 is very classy.

give me something like a bugatti veyron or a R8 spyder, then i would be Xmas Envy

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 16/12/2012 21:59

Pantofino · 16/12/2012 21:59

I AM a bit jealous that LeQueen has stairs in her kitchen though. I want stairs in MY kitchen. 4X4s are evil, environmentally unfriendly child killers though..

BabylonElf · 16/12/2012 21:59

This ain't gonna end well I fear!!!

I've just given up custody of the remote to DH!! He thinks his Christmas has come early Xmas Grin

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 22:00

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

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 16/12/2012 22:00

You have a pearl necklace, OP ? Wow.

WorraLorraTurkey · 16/12/2012 22:00

So why don't you woman up and speak to those Mums instead of mithering and bumping your gums on here?

Pantofino · 16/12/2012 22:00

No Sexy - YOU are chavvy.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 16/12/2012 22:00

OP IS YOUR 4x4 PINK!!!!!

catgirl1976geesealaying · 16/12/2012 22:01

DH gives me a pearl necklace every Saturday.....

WorraLorraTurkey · 16/12/2012 22:01

Well if you will go out in public with your pearl necklace instead of having a good wash...

PessaryPam · 16/12/2012 22:01

I do see where you are coming from and I do see how you composed this original post. We are what we are and we may not fit into a nice preconceived pigeon hole. You have my deepest sympathy.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 16/12/2012 22:01

Panto...I don't get that stairs in your kitchen is posh.

Where I was brought up, stairs in your hall is posh.

Stairs in a living area is dead common (or a sign of a bijou house)

chrismissymoomoomee · 16/12/2012 22:01

pudz giz a tenner eh. Xmas Grin

You are right worra the bag is neither half full nor half empty, its totally empty and folded into a little bow sitting on my xmas tree now.

BabylonElf · 16/12/2012 22:01
