Also a damn sight more dignified than her cooking.
This is even more cringeworthy coming straight after @Lanie ’s post about how to not be condescending
Absolutely 100% agree, you took the words right out my mouth. Someone saying that they are proud of you, who isn't an elderly relative or a mentor (and even then it's questionable), are over confidently and not-so-subtly condemning you as inferior.I always find people who are seen as peers saying I'm proud of you as a bit condescending. For me it's something that a parent would say to a young child after a big accomplishment, someone who is seen as within the same age brackets it just sounds like they are stating you did good but I'm still bettter. I always say well done or good for you if my friends so well. I feel it's less condescending.
I have some friends who have done extraordinary things - really great accomplishments. I usually say I’m very proud to know them and be their friend but being proud of them is patronising, I have had nothing to do with their successes.I always find people who are seen as peers saying I'm proud of you as a bit condescending.

My reaction to her condescending tone: I'm currently making the same noise as Sideshow Bob when he steps on a rake.
She didn’t actually win the Groucho Club maverick award - she was only nominated. So she’d have had to foot her Groucho bills herself. (Or her wealthy partner would’ve).So according to this she won a lifetime membership to the groucho club in 2013?
I need to see Redcar https://www.standard.co.uk/news/lon...-the-groucho-as-history-unfolds-a3280111.html
If she had membership, you would have to prise her out, and she would be like a stuck recordShe didn’t actually win the Groucho Club maverick award - she was only nominated. So she’d have had to foot her Groucho bills herself. (Or her wealthy partner would’ve).
Plot twist: it was actually an old glove. Two niches claimed!Mr F there all up in Jack’s niche sending me a picture of something he found in his garden asking if it is wild garlic.
my child brought me a 'flower' the other day! I smelled it and send them off to get more. wild garlic indeed!Mr F there all up in Jack’s niche sending me a picture of something he found in his garden asking if it is wild garlic.
