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 🙈😅

See this thread. This is you giving value to her existance. The second you dont give a shit about people like this they stop having any relevance.

OK some people might be impressed by the Range Rover or the belt. Good luck to them and if it makes them happy, so what.

I dont have any friends like the person you describe because, to be frank, i cant be bothered with people like that, but if thats how they live their lives and they are happy, so what

She has a Gucci belt, but lives with her parents.
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I
Caught her eye
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said, in that case I'll have rum and Coca-Cola
She said fine
And then in thirty seconds time she said
I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people
Like you
Oh what else could I do
I said I'll, I'll see what I can do

People like what? They may have built up and sold a multimillion pound business and own the house that the parents live in. We only know the story the OP has decided to tell.

kingtamponthefurred · 25/01/2023 09:27

Anything with a visible logo is tacky IMO.

Back2Back2t · 25/01/2023 09:38

OP you sound really jealous to be honest. Her money or not she sounds like she's living her best life and you're intimidated because you probably can't afford half of what she has.

If she's so bad why are you even friends with her anyway? This is a very strange post.

People who own Gucci belts obviously!!

BellatrixLestrangesHeatedCurlers · 25/01/2023 09:43

can't believe you're both parents tbh, you both sound like you need to grow up

Annabel073 · 25/01/2023 09:48

@Swiftswatch Who would have thought that wearing a Gucci belt would generate such vitriol. Imagine if she had the nerve to wear a Chanel jacket.

What has her life got to do with you? A big zero.
You have no idea what her life is like until you want in her shoes.

Don't judge me till you've worn my Choos...😂

What? 😂Where should the logo be?

Toddlerteaplease · 25/01/2023 09:59

I'd assume the Gucci belt was fake.

SleepyRooster · 25/01/2023 10:01

Sounds like a Pulp lyric

She's got a Gucci belt I wish I had/ and still lives with her mum and her dad

knittingaddict · 25/01/2023 10:03

Does anyone remember the thread a few years ago where the op worked with someone who was slightly senior to her, who wore designer clothes and the op was adamant that this was somehow unreasonable and inappropriate? Same vibe here.

Um what? You wouldn’t be friends with someone in this woman’s situation?

NewBootsAndRanty · 25/01/2023 00:00

To be honest, I did have a bit of a problem in the beginning with my trousers falling down, but then I became a bigger person.

That made me laugh out loud!

Gossipy and bitchy. Women like you let the side down. Get something to do.

Joining in on a mass AIBU pile on. Women like you let the side down. Get something to do Hmm

I wouldn't be friends with someone who eyes me up and down to assess if my outfit is expensive or flashy enough, no.

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 25/01/2023 10:11

@Shallowshallowness You're sneering at her too. She may be very insecure about being a parent, perhaps stop being nasty about her and reach out to her?glad I'm not in such a toxic baby group

allhailraatma · 25/01/2023 10:13

I can't believe anyone cares about this shit in real life. How miserable to be so judgemental and jealous. There is ALWAYS stuff going on in people's lives that you don't know about. Why not try and be friendly?

God I don't miss mother and baby groups.

I wasn't able to go (thanks covid) so glad I missed out on this shit

YABU for even giving these thoughts space in your head rent free.

MojoDaysxx · 25/01/2023 11:08

Why does it matter, if she lives with her parents? She could have a caring role in her family.
OP's judgemental and jealousness reveals more about her personality, than the women with a name brand belt.
Those who are gratefull for what they have will always feel greater happiness.

Yes!!! And how she should dress down because it was disrespectful
