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 🙈😅

It’s definitely you.

LolaSmiles · 24/01/2023 22:01

You and her have different values.She prioritises fancy things and loves with her parents to make those things a priority. Life would be boring if we were all the same.

I'd find it annoying if someone like that was making a song and dance about their designer labels, so would probably nod, smile, move to talk to people who care about more than silly status symbols, and not give her much more thought.

How do you known the parents aren't living in her house or they didn't pool resources to buy jointly?

Why does any of it matter to you?

Shallowshallowness · 24/01/2023 22:02

@007DoubleOSeven It’s true, it doesn’t make me feel great to be looked at like that

But you're being snobby too OP?
You're looking down on her because (you think) she doesn't earn her own money.

She has a Gucci belt, but lives with her parents

That should be an indie band’s latest hit single 😂

This is all just your perception. I have never met a snob. That's because I don't judge people as snobs.

YourGazeHitsTheSideOfMyFace · 24/01/2023 22:05

It’s odd how frequently a Gucci belt turns up as a signifier of conspicuous and usually undeserved wealth on here. Sometimes also seen on benefit bashing threads, along with expensive cars and foreign holidays. I had no idea that Gucci belts had such currency and significance, culturally speaking.

Nothing more common than flashing the cash!

I think posting on here to judge other people for “flashing the cash” is probably even more common

LimeTreeGrove · 24/01/2023 22:07

You seem quite sneery yourself. You've even started a thread sneering at her belt and her living arrangements

Bundler · 24/01/2023 22:07

Everyone knows that Chanel braces are what you're supposed to wear these days.

Toomanywaterwipes · 24/01/2023 22:07

Hate obvious logos. So tacky😉

EezyOozy · 24/01/2023 22:08

She sounds like a bit of a fanny and completely irrelevant.

Shallowshallowness · 24/01/2023 22:08

@Hoppinggreen Not judging for flashing the cash, have no issue with that, know plenty of people who have lovely things. I just don’t like the awful up and down looks given to people and clear judging if you don’t have said Gucci belt/designer bag/special shoes…

vodkaredbullgirl · 24/01/2023 22:10

The belt could be a knock off.

Shallowshallowness · 24/01/2023 22:10

@LimeTreeGrove Only because of the way she is to others, have no problem with others living arrangements or clothes etc…but don’t like the mean attitude

Ooo love a bitchy session me. Tell us more! Grin

Paranoia runs deep

Clymene · 24/01/2023 22:10

Can we start talking about old money Vs new money?

Shallowshallowness · 24/01/2023 22:11

@vodkaredbullgirl Could be I suppose, but really don’t think so as parents have money

Despicable.

gogohmm · 24/01/2023 22:12

Just ignore. I don't get designer clothes especially those with logos, quite tasteless.

But equally you don't know the full story, there might be a reason she lives with her parents

MrsRobinsonsHandprints · 24/01/2023 22:12

Is the belt made out of Bison leather?

Felix01 · 24/01/2023 22:12

I'm sure I've seen another post about a Gucci belt a few months ago 🤔. Incredibly catty OP you can probably pick one up on depop if you fancy..
