To think that it's easy to look immaculate, be super organised and have a show home if you've got lots of money?

An acquaintance of mine is always lauded by others in our social circle as being so organised, immaculately presented with immaculate kids and a show home for a house, as if she is some kind of super human goddess.

When in reality she, and others I've known that are similar to her, all have plenty of money.

It's easy to be organised when you don't have to do any cleaning as you have a cleaner. And you have a part time nanny to look after the kids.

It's easy to hold amazing dinner parties when you hire a chef to cook the food for the party.

It's easy to look immaculate when you have a large budget for hair, beauty treatments, personal trainers and clothes.

It just annoys me a bit that this woman is totally put on a pedestal as being amazing when it's all down to money really as she married someone wealthy. She only has to put something very mundane on social media such as taking the kids to the park and everyone comments saying what an inspiration she is and how lucky her kids are.

She is currently packing for a holiday that they are going on in a few weeks and keeps posting about it, to be told how amazing and organised she is. But surely it's easy to be organised and get packed early when you just buy a total new holiday wardrobe each time you go away; all you have to do is chuck the clothes in the case?!

as that example requires an income of ...0, and the OP could so very easily do exactly the same, it's clearly jealousy Grin
