I just finished listening to the podcast

I think she was really honest during the part about her dad. That felt authentic. (My dad passed away a few years ago so this part really touched me.)
But the rest of it was so unnatural and contrived. God, she infuriates me so much and in so many ways.
Saying you want your only child to go to daycare all day every day... was that supposed to be funny?
And telling everyone he wants boobs. Really?
Don't tell me you're happy and satisfied with your life and yet you clearly are not "enjoying" the stage you're at in your life.
But all of this aside, the thing that bothers me the most is the constant talking about money, the Eastern Suburbs, her "privilege" etc. (I know I harp on about this a lot but this is the reason why I came to Tattle because it KILLS ME)
I am born and bred in the Eastern Suburbs. My parents and their parents have always lived here. I am raising my children in the east but it's no better than anywhere else in Sydney or the world. It's a group of suburbs. It's not Buckingham Palace.
And news flash - not everyone wants to live here!! She acts like the eastern suburbs is a VIP room and everyone wants to get in. She was one of the lucky ones who got into the "VIP room" and all those who didn't get in are "losers" and we should pity them.
There are affluent families, successful people, big houses, good schools and smart kids EVERYWHERE! Some people choose to live here and some people don't. It's not a flex, it's an effing postcode.
Furthermore, (I'm getting really fired up now!!) I went to a private school. I'm from the east but a lot of my school friends are from all over Sydney. And guess what - some of them have a lot of $$ but don't live in the eastern suburbs. Who knew this was possible?!
Some of the girls I went to school with were from less affluent families who made sacrifices to be able to afford the school. Some of them were on scholarships (academic and sport) so their upbringings were different to mine. So it really annoys me when LC says regardless of whether her son goes to public/private school, she knows he'll only be associating with other affluent people.
FUCK. RIGHT. OFF.
