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 🙈😅

Your post came off exactly as you intended. You obviously wanted everyone to join in slagging off this woman, that none of us know.

Ottil · 24/01/2023 22:55

I don't judge people at all, EXCEPT on their belts. Belts matter so fucking much. Belts.

NewBootsAndRanty · 24/01/2023 22:56

I don't even wear a belt Shock

daisyjgrey · 24/01/2023 22:59

YABU. Grow up.

IWasFunBeforeMum · 24/01/2023 23:01

I hear you.

Beercrispsandnuts · 24/01/2023 23:01

God how jealous would you need to be to post this. I’m guessing she’s attractive too. Cringing for you op. I mean really. Just read it and cringe at it.

@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…

Next time she looks you up and down break out a rendition of "Pricetag". That'll show her.

Are you saying you want a Gucci belt, OP?

She has a Gucci belt, but lives with her parents

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

Yes it's a bit "your house was very smaalll, you had woodchip on the waaaaall"

Canthave2manycats · 24/01/2023 23:05

OMG just ignore!!! Maybe she got the Gucci belt on sale! Why the hell does one belt matter to you so much??!

LimeTwists · 24/01/2023 23:06

I can understand your irritation if she was actually saying things such as “Oh, I only wear Prada belts - they are much better quality than cheap high street ones” but she doesn’t seem to be saying anything at all. How do you know for sure that she’s judging your belt etc if she’s not actually saying a single word?

midsomermurderess · 24/01/2023 23:07

The problem lies with you, with your chippiness and insecurity. Unless you deal with that, you’ll feel like this forever.

FlissyPaps · 24/01/2023 23:07

You’re insecure.

You’re jealous.

This woman probably doesn’t give a fuck about what brands you do or don’t wear.

You’re choosing to believe this is conception she has of you.

So, why care? Your negative thoughts are toxic OP. It’s only going to make you a bitter person.

Seriously, get a hobby, ignore the woman and her Gucci belt. You’ll be a lot happier for it.

countdowntonap · 24/01/2023 23:08

@ChungusBoi I came on to suggest the same. Very 2007 indie album title 😆

Moveoverdarlin · 24/01/2023 23:09

You have absolutely no idea what she’s thinking about when you catch her looking you up and down. On occasion I might give someone the once over when meeting new people and I might think nice things like ‘she’s got a good figure / ooh I like that Gucci belt / how can she afford such and such, but yeah I’m only human and I might also think ‘blimey she looks a state on the school run’ or ‘those jeans are a bit tight’. Hopefully I don’t convey my thoughts via my facial expressions, but unless she’s so obviously tutting and looking at you with such disgust, how do you know what she’s thinking??? You’re assuming because she’s a bit flash, she’s criticising you. For all you know, she might pay her parents sky-high rent.

ErinAndTonic · 24/01/2023 23:10

Why are you so zoned in on this belt?

I've had one for a few years, don't even wear it that often but it's not particularly expensive. Compared to a regular belt maybe, but it's hardly a Chanel handbag.

middleager · 24/01/2023 23:12

Sounds like the title of a Pulp song.

HedgeWench · 24/01/2023 23:15

Who gives a fuck what other people wear. Are you very young?

HedgeWench · 24/01/2023 23:16

I honestly wouldn't have a clue what a Gucci belt looked like.

ErinAndTonic · 24/01/2023 23:16

HedgeWench · 24/01/2023 23:15

I think she just really envies the belt 😅

MargotMoon · 24/01/2023 23:17

Be the bigger person

MajesticWhine · 24/01/2023 23:17

Do you know for a fact she looks down on you about your clothes, or is it just your impression? She sounds insecure but to be honest so do you. Let her be. Focus on what's important.

Daffodilsandtuplips · 24/01/2023 23:19

She might have got it from Amazon or a fake from Turkey.

Bertha21 · 24/01/2023 23:22

Maybe she hates living with her parents. But can’t afford to leave? Who knows. Her life let her live it. You do sound jealous. Maybe look at that?
