Do you think private academy for the children comes cheap? How about personal drivers, personal shoppers, an antique scout, groundskeepers, housekeepers, therapists, and plastic surgeons. They are bleeding us dry! It's not like we are wealthy, we live in an average run of the mill 3500 square foot house -- it's practically a shack. The pool is tiny! You would think with a pool that small the pool boy would give us a discount, but no. No one gives the middle class folks like us a break.
Just the other day, my son Chadwich made the mistake of strolling un-escorted outside the wall surrounding our humble community, and he was set upon by some scary sounding ruffians who had the audacity to mock the very jaunty bowler he was wearing at the time. Now he will have to be in therapy, so we have that bill as well. Plus his bowler fell off in his headlong flight and he was inconsolable until we promised to have a new one flown in direct from London.
So please, until you have experienced the nightmare of "middle class" living, do not judge.
