regular poster changed name as I know she occasionally reads mumsnet.
I really don't know what to do about her, 90% of the time she is fab,a really good friend supportive, a good laugh etc etc.
but it the other 10% that she drives me nuts, I would go so far as to say she is a right cow.
her husband is a loving, kind caring man, but she treats him badly, she moans about everything he does infront of everyone, he is 4 stone overweight and everytime he eats she makes snide comments again in front of everyone, I never say anything as don't think its my place to say anything.
Also they are £25,000+ in debt on their credit cards, as they always have to have the latest things, there kids show no value of money, and I was amazed on a recent trip to a theme park that the dd aged 4 asked for a lolly, she got one, took one mouthful threw it on the floor and said no I want that one and pointed to another one, she got that one and did the same, she did eat the 3rd lolly !!!
There money issue again doesn't bother me, but we just paid off £10,000 off our mortgage with our savings, my husband has a good job, I work part time and we save everything we dont need. But I keep getting snide remarks like whats the point in saving you might die before you can use it. She makes comments that they live a grand life and want for nothing, we dont go without, we have a foreign holiday a year, we have takeaways and we go out once a fortnight for a meal and a night out, we have cable etc etc, we just dont need the latest most expensive things.
When I do point out things to her, she just gets louder repeats what she said and then changed subject or something, it just drives me nuts.
It annoyed me yesterday because her DD walked up to my DD aged 5 after school said hello and then slapped her on the arm, when my DD went up to tel her, she said don't be tattle tail and sort it out yourself !!!!!!
Just wanted to vent. Thanks
