She has a Gucci belt, but lives with her parents

New mum in the mums group, seems a bit up her own bum about designer labels and clothes etc. She’s often a bit sneery and definitely does that withering looking you up and down type of thing.
Her, m her Dh and kids, live with her parents in a big house, she dives their spare Land-rover car and they pay her dc’s school fees.
Aibu to think she’s got a bit of a nerve to act high and mighty when none of it is her money and the rest of us earn money to pay our own mortgages, bills and cars and therefore maybe don’t own a Gucci belt 🙈😅

Why do you even care?

PortiasBiscuit · 24/01/2023 21:56

Not sure what your point is? Are you asking a question?

007DoubleOSeven · 24/01/2023 21:56

Nothing more common than flashing the cash!

Butwhytho · 24/01/2023 21:57

Bit rich of you to call her sneery… jealously isn’t a good look on anyone.

Parroteets · 24/01/2023 21:57

And ....?

NewBootsAndRanty · 24/01/2023 21:57

Oh.

madeyemoody · 24/01/2023 21:57

You seem a bit insecure and judgemental yourself? Why are you interested in what someone thinks of you if like you said, you pay your own way?

GoldilockMom · 24/01/2023 21:57

Well she doesn’t sound like someone you need to be friends with.
Id just ignore!

qwertykeyboards · 24/01/2023 21:58

Grow up

Shallowshallowness · 24/01/2023 21:58

@Butwhytho Def not jealous..! Just don’t like the snobbery, when it’s not her money even. It’s not nice to look people up and down and place value on the belts they do or don’t have

🤔

renonovice · 24/01/2023 21:59

people who act high & mighty & who think money makes them better than others will think like this regardless, don't give them the head space.

Shallowshallowness · 24/01/2023 21:59

@renonovice True..

Counting down to when this thread will get taken down...

NewBootsAndRanty · 24/01/2023 22:00

I only ever judge people by the belts they do or dont have - I thought everyone did?

007DoubleOSeven · 24/01/2023 22:00

It sounds like she's making you feel insecure and resentful. The only response to this is to ignore and be kind. People who place a lot of emphasis on looks and labels are often insecure deep down. And no amount of labels and borrowing your parents range rover can help with the reality of being a new mum!

Shallowshallowness · 24/01/2023 22:00

@pointythings Why 😬

PenanceAdair · 24/01/2023 22:00

Unless she's said or done anything concrete that you can use to justify, I'd say YABU and sound quite judgemental, insecure and paranoid about how she feels about you/others.

Also not sure how you know these details about her.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 24/01/2023 22:00

If someone's the type to look others up and down with a withering glance well then it's fair enough that you'd look at her life to see if she has any right to be so snooty.

OneFrenchEgg · 24/01/2023 22:00

Set up a go fund me for the £400 you need for the belt?

Ponderoveryonder · 24/01/2023 22:01

Why can’t you just be happy for her Gucci belt ? 🤷‍♀️
