have i reached the height of middle class pretension ?

[Gowgirl]

I've just realised I'm julienning carrots and cucumber for the moppets to dip in organic bloody hummus while admiring my shiny new bottle of craft gin.

Then I realised that they probally wont eat their fish fingers and chips now, and I spent all day mumsnetting so the house is a shit tip!

Feel free to add your own

No same person would use extra virgin olive oil to make mayonnaise, it would be horribly bitter.

6 ? 3 is more common in these parts

Did anyone else Google Extra virgin olive oil in mayonnaise? Or just me?

Is brioche posh?!

Nah,, you can buy brioche in B and M.

Just roll do bake your own brioche in a tin....

I had an ocado delivery at the weekend.

I otherwise shop sainsbos so I'm basically clawing my way up to middle class slowly but surely.

Eddie- any olive oil in mayonaise will do for me!!!
Late to the prtentious party but I cringed when my son on being offered chocolate ice cream in a restaurant. "Is it Belgian chocolate?" he piped up..... It wasn't.

Me to DD (3): how was pre school today?

DD: Sage bumped into Ophelia at lunchtime and her cous-cous went all over the floor.

Sitting down to dinner at a hotel restaurant on Sandbanks and DD (then aged 4) looks at the waiter and pipes up "Mummy, when are the servants allowed to eat?"

(I blame watching too many Barbie princess films )

I complained to my mother about just how difficult DS found losing at croquet. He's 7.

DD1 made a written plan this year, as she had many balls to attend and wanted to make sure she wore different dresses to each and different colours from the same events last year.

KatoPotato thank you for describing it perfectly!!

DCs asked me to buy them organic raisins for snacktime. They had to be organic.

I blame myself for putting them in a posh better school.

I was at the John Lewis cafe when I overheard this little gem from a child of about 6:

"Oh doom mummy, I've spilt giant couscous on my gilet".

Bah!

DS (5) says beige food and thinks he can have them every night as long as you eat vegetables with it.

He'll only eat M&S chicken nuggets and fish finger,. however, breakfast must be chocolate flavoured.

When discussing a veggie box delivery DD asked me if I'd made sure to order romanesco instead of broccoli. She also complains if I buy fresh orange or apple juice instead of pomegranate juice.

DS17 on a long distance endurance race complained that he didn't find porridge edible or sustaining, and asked for smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, please. His partner's mother creased at the idea of smoked salmon at breakfast. I blushed and explained it came from Lidl and was normal in the US.

Someone offered my daughter squash at a party when she was three; she questioned: "butternut squash?"

I'm as common as muck - but this is the ONLY incident I can think of where we all looked like monstrous twats. 😂

Me to the kids whilst supermarket shopping : I'll buy you both a treat to share. What do you want?

DC's : Fresh salmon roe, Mummy! I love it so much. Can we have a pot each, pleeeeeeaase?

But, many years ago now, we were in France on holiday and a group of very yahoo types came into our favourite secret local restaurant, made lots of loud (embarrassing English) noise and invited their children to consider going to Cornwall or back to Ile de Ré (where we were) for summer. As we live in Cornwall, we hoped they went back to France (or had the grace to go to Rock!)

Food is cheap.

Any idiot can exchange a £1 in Asda for hummus or forage in Barnardos for a jacket!

I once asked my dd if she wanted to go to London zoo for an afternoon trip. She replied no - she'd rather go to Quaglinos. She was 5.

After going to BED now eating my basil pesto tortellini with tomato and wild mushroom sauce. However not homemade and washing it down with fizzy pop so not sure??!!!
