If MN were like real life:
Imagine a country pub called Mumsnet Arms. The pub is full of all kinds of people, all chatting and nattering together. Some laughing over something idiotic, some seriously discussing their current relationship, some crying.
Someone walks in and asks for advice about a topic whilst making sure everyone knows how much cash they earn and how much tax they avoid by paying in £££ to their pension pot.
A lot of the people in the pub ignore them and chat amongst themselves.
Some in the pub listen and give advice.
But a good majority of the pub can barely afford a pint of beer. Can barely afford to pay their gas bill. Can barely afford to light their homes.
These people have been told repeatedly they shouldn't have had kids. Or they should have made better choices.
So the wealthy person asks a question whilst highlighting their income and pension input.
The poorer people living on less than the wealthy pay to their pension a month take the piss out of the wealthier people..
The wealthier people then complain the poor have dared speak up..
And then the rest of the pub realise how idiotic it is to be complaining about money issues when you save thousands and pay thousands into a pension whilst millions of others are starving and can barely afford to exist.
And then the bar man calls time and the poorer folks go and sit outside in the cold, whilst the richer folks go home to light, warmth and good food.. on the way home, the wealthy folks complain to each other that the poor get too much.. and that they shouldn't have kids or tvs or mobile phones or winter fuel help..
