About Tessa Dunlop
My name is Tessa Dunlop, I am a 35 year old married woman with a baby daughter and I live in a Victorian town house. I didn’t grow up with an outdoor loo, I was not beaten by my father or abused by my mother and family hobbies include playing tennis, eating salad and writing Christmas thank you letters. I have clear skin, lots of exams and when I speak my vowels are round.
I am (inescapably) middle class.
There, now I’ve written it down I feel so much better. As mum always said ‘darling, a trouble shared is a troubled halved.’
Welcome to My Middle Class Shame.
