What's the most pampered/indulged behaviour you've ever seen?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

When I used to have a proper job , one of my colleagues would phone her mom at the first spit of rain to go and fetch her washing in. This was about 8 miles from the office (so who knew what the weather was like at home?) abd a 4 mile round trip fir the mom and dad (mom didn't drive).

SIOB that the parents would do it!

She once called home and asked her to go and wash up a breakfast bowl as she had run out of time to do it.

That's mean I don't think I am anything special but I am horrible or morbidly obese. I have a recent pic on my profile from last weekend though maybe to some I am a right munter

I hate buffets. When we go out and it's a buffet I make DH get a few bits for me to pick at. It's taken a bit of sulking to get him to remember what I like and don't like but he's an expert at filling two plates and it keeps him happy as he only gets half a plate of food for me and the other half of my plate is extra for him.

I much prefer the formality of a sit down dinner. Buffet manners elude me completely. I am perfectly happy to sit at my table with a glass of wine animatedly chatting to whoever I'm sharing the table with.

I have some issues which I'd rather not go into but my "fix" is to go spending. I have never run up massive unpayable debt and its always been a good release for me. At the moment I can't afford to do that due to saving. Therefore I need a "quick fix" to prevent me spending. I can control money, I'm very good at it. Bills are paid etc.
It was my suggestion and NOT DH's. it's not a long term solution but I am working on a long term solution. This unfortunately will take longer than I need if we are to move out when we want.
It is not that I'm irresponsible but I can't risk having that temptation right now. I need to put controls in for myself.

DH absolutely doesn't control me, please don't think that

^My mum often comes round to clean up for me. DH does most of the cleaning and running around for me.
I'll often ask him to nip to the shop (15 mins away) because I need a can of coke or a milky bar!

My mum will often plate up meals for me when DH is away because I can't be bothered to cook!

My DH takes me to the hairdressers and waits while i get my hair done (3+ hours) if he's not available my dad will take me - I drive and have my own car!

I will on occasion give my mum a shopping list if I don't want to go shopping and she will do a second shop just for me! Also my dad often brings my lunch, although not a hot dinner!

I'm spoiled rotten by my parents and my DH, but am very grateful.^

These are your own words you muppet!

In my experience, these "middle aged" princesses are convinced they're very "cute" and ditzy and that the whole world is enchanted with their pouting. I've known some to speak in baby's voices in public too.

They also usually labour under the misconception that all the other women are jealous of their inept ways. It's odd.

I boarded with one if these girls and went to university with two others. Curiously all three were cheated on by their husbands.

Argh italics fail.

I will treat my adult dc so I'll take them out for lunch or buy them something because I have seen something I know they'd like. I will also make them a meal if I'm cooking or I will invite them to join us for a meal but there is no way I will be running round after them to make their lives easy and they would never expect me to.
Lj8893 it's interesting what you say about your dad as my friend was a very much "can't be bothered" parent to hers when they were small and her mil did it all and yet now they are adults she parents them as though they were toddlers.

Reality I think we share a sister. Mine used to sit in her chair and expect my disabled father to fetch her tea - he was in pain walking and struggled to carry things. Once I took leave from work for a week to drive her and kids around as she had written her car off, she left me babysitting and complained when I refused to do her garden!

Sinister can we refrain for insults please?

I know what I wrote... Because I wrote it.

If you can let me know what it is you would like me to answer I will be more than happy to.

I think my friends son takes the biscuit. First they paid for his degree and ample living expenses. Fine. Then they aid for his Masters, and living expenses. OK. Then they supported him through his doctorate. Um, ok. Then they paid for him to live abroad for a year on another course, and to rent a flat. She also flew out there every two weeks to clean the flat and do his washing. Now they have paid for him to do a professional course.

They are now saying that for his career he needs to live in central London, so they are going to sell their house and buy him a flat. Seriously. They have no more savings and no further equity. When I asked what they were going to live in, and on, she just shrugged and said she would muddle through somehow.

That's unbelievable Skiiing

Crumpets you have changed tack form your first post to your last, that's what I am referring to.
And muppet isn't a particularly devastating insult. In Normal Town, at least.

Anyway, that's enough I think!

I had a uni friend from a wealthy background who never seemed to have had to take responsibility for her own life. Her rent, uni costs and living expenses were paid by her parents (she had a flat in one of the best bits of London) but she had run up about £20k of credit card debt on designer clothes and would constantly whine and complain how broke she was and how hard her life was...and in the next breath be showing me the pair of Jimmy Choos she'd bought that morning (we were both students and this was the '90s). Needless to say her parents paid of the entire debt for her...and then she started all over again. Not the faintest grasp on the realities of life. She had a boyfriend who catered to her every whim, treated her like a princess and enabled her behaviour to a sickening degree.

I was from a working class home, always had part time jobs, saved up, never in debt. When planned to go on holiday once she accused me of having such an easy life as I always had money in my account (a small buffer which I'd earned and saved, but whatevs) and asked for a loan. SHE then had to decide where we went on holiday because SHE had to have a good time because money was so much more scarce for her (ahem), and her needs were so much more important than mine. Needless to say the holiday was a disaster and I stopped talking to her shortly afterwards.

It's been almost 20 years but it still annoys me to think about it. Luckily her mum repaid the loan! Strong argument for not treating your girls like little princesses in my view...

er, jsut want to mention that Eatingallthecrumpets and crumpet are not the same person...

I had a paper round when I was teenager. Another girl worked there too, if it was raining her dad did the round in his car and she didn't even go with him.

Sinister I hadn't realised, I'm typing as I think, so it can often seem a bit jumbled (that's my though process for you)

Also, I'm trying to justify what I do, not that I should but that's me!

What I was trying to explain is from the outsiders view it looks like I'm "princessy" and a horrible person. I'm not at all. I am not a well person and I need help. Sometimes that help is daily sometimes it's less frequent. My family love me and do a lot for me, I am spoiled and get my own way a lot but I would NEVER take that for granted and would never allow that to seep into my work life or anything like that.

Yes I appreciate that I should do more for myself and when I can I do. But when I need help I need a lot of help. People judge me for it. That's why I've hid it previously, obviously no need to hide in a forum as no-one knows me! It's not always as black and white and people think, I was trying (and obviously failing) to explain that.

Nope I'm an only child. That's why my patents try to do so much for me, I'm all they have.

I am not a brat, really I'm not. But I do get a lot of help which I am lucky to get and very appreciative.

'princess' I really never understand crap like this

" ooooooh mummy you look Like a pwincess"

"I expect to be treated like a princess"

Really, I mean really!!!!

Princess who? Fiona from shrek?

I read these posts from the spoiled princesses and think "Helen Flannigan"

I watched her on IACGMOOH and all I could think was how embarrassed her parents must have been, but then seeing them in interviews apparently they were not. Hmmmmm

Sure, everyone's relationship works differently and sure, partners tend to have different things in the house that they get on with. Having your DH do the shopping and cook your dinner because he doesn't mind doing it, and having the wife do all the washing and ironing because she doesn't mind it - that's pretty normal.

But If I don't want to drive somewhere I will ask someone if they will go for me, or take me. I don't carry money with me so if I forget my lunch or don't have anything in then my DF will bring me some lunch. I do not sit on a fluffy pink chair and throw out demands and orders has to be the funniest thing I have read on MN this month

I can't remember who is was that said their DH sits and waits while they have their haircut but, er.... why? Is there nothing else better they could with those 3 hours than just sit there, even if they do drop you off and pick you up?!

Crikey, started reading an amusing thread & having a few chuckles & then a bunch of miserable sods decide to rip into a couple of posters, one nasty shit even insinuating that they must have "special needs" because she doesn't like how they live - disgusting.

Is it possible for someone on these forums to start a light hearted thread without the same old moaners coming along and turning it into a bitch fest?

Probably not....

I have a brother and yes he gets the same treatment, probably more than me.

People who know me and my flatmate, but not well enough to truly understand the dynamics between us, probably think I'm rather spoilt by him. As I don't drive he'll take me wherever I want, whenever I want, and this behaviour is seen by people who know us.

However, not only am I very greatful and will often argue, fruitlessly, that I'll just catch a cab so as to not waste his time, but I also bought the car and pay half the petrol costs. I just don't tend to tell people this as his financial situation (not being able to afford said car) is any of their concern.

I am also very appreciative of the fact that he brings me coffee in the morning and does all the washing up, but I do all the cooking and will make him drinks during the day, so it all works out. I've also been known to iron a shirt when asked!

My sister, on the other hand, really is a spoilt princess. Her husband will run after her and get her whatever she asks for, which has meant that she's grown to expect it from everyone. She throws tantrums if she doesn't get her own way. I think she feels she's important if everyone does her bidding, but she really does end up looking like a toddler. It's really odd.

Grown women doing baby voices: makes people want to kill.
If you do it, stop it! [hard stare]
