To ask you honestly what are your first thoughts on seeing this?

[gemful]

NC’d for this

A couple. 2 dc (no childcare)
A brand new, new build house. Mortgaged.
Two brand new cars.
They don’t dress designer but the present well.
She has a few designer handbags.
gadgets are always good brands, latest I phones, shark hairdryers, robot hoover.
very organised and tidy home, both work full time in good jobs.
They do family outings every few weekends but not every weekend.
Honesty, what are your first thoughts?!

average middle class family

Absolutely nothing. Don't think they're much different to a lot of families I know.

This seems entirely normal unless you're going to drip feed that it's actually Fred and Rose West

Why would anyone have any thoughts on this at all? Sounds normal?

Wouldn't register with me.

Well to be fair, I wouldn’t notice any of that. I wouldn’t know she had a designer handbag unless she told me.

I’d say they were quite lucky?

Different path to me, I don’t go in for new gadgets. I’ve got my dads old Henry Hoover and a ten year old hairdryer 🤣

I’d say if they are happy, they are happy. That’s all you can ask for in life.

But I don’t go round thinking about how other people live thier lives or looking at what they have got, so I wouldn’t notice enough to have an opinion.

About them? I think I would be too busy thinking about things in my own life to have much of a thought about them.

I don't have any thoughts. There's nothing remarkable about any of that.

I wouldn't ever notice if anyone was wearing designer stuff/carrying a designer handbag or was entirely kitted out in Primark.

I am middle class but I don't know many people who drive new cars and have designer handbags. I'd say they were on a very good wage, otoh I do know many people who are very comfortable with debt so it might be that.

I think how nice - but they shouldn't get complacent as you never know whats round the corner.

Standard family, not dissimilar to us and our circle (although we do have childcare costs as DCs are young).

Thoughts on what?

I have no thoughts whatsoever on your op.

I'd assume their jobs were well-paid. I'd assume they had a cleaner. I'd think they were good with money.

Is this you? Do people assume you're a lottery winner?

Nothing, but then I don’t pay much attention to what others have or don’t have.

I’d think they’re a normal family who both work full time and are spending their earnings exactly as they please

Why would I have any thoughts about this? Am I expected to be jealous or something?
I try not to judge people on such superficial information.

No thoughts at all, sounds very bland.

That they're probably up to their eyes in debt unless they have very high-paying jobs

My first thought is - you seem to be stalking them.

I’d be far more interested in her views on women’s rights & whether she liked cats. None of the other stuff would really register.

Probably pretty average younger family, nothing overly special

As my DC would say, cool story.

I wouldn’t think anything. I don’t think you’ve said anything at all that would make me think anything - it seems like a normal, if reasonably well off, family. But you’ve said good jobs and no childcare to pay for, so that’s not surprising.

I wouldn't really think anything, they sound well within the realms of normality.

Absolutely not an average middle class family.

To have that life style, both would have to be on £60k plus.
