Just talking to a parent in the school yard the other day. They clearly have no concept at all .They started asking where we were going abroad in the six weeks. I was just saying oh nowhere really maybe just a few days trips and such but mainly just a quiet summer wi as we've just come back from our summer holiday. And basically they looked at me in disbelief I got really is that all well we've just come back from Turkey to but we will be going away in August to the Greece look it's already 42 degrees and October to that Italy and skiing in December as my child needs to learn to ski. I stood there not knowing what to say other than nodding, and the cheeky sod had the nerve to say you should really go abroad more and in the same breathe we are also getting an extension on the house, the kids will be having horse riding lessons I just walked away after that the bragging was too much.

She's rude. And a bit dim maybe.

Talk to someone else! You can usually tell who the well off ones are. Steer clear of they are not your type.

Some people don't have a clue. An ex of my sisters couldn't comprehend my husband and I turning down an invitation for dinner at a pub. I had lost my job and were just about making ends meet. All he kept saying was "but it's only a dinner, and not even anywhere expensive!". Really could not comprehend that we had nothing spare. He lives off of his parents 'renovating houses' giving them a lick of paint so the idea of actually needing a job is lost on him.
