A 'Hove Mum' is a phenomenon which has come about in the city of Brighton & Hove.

Hove has a reputation of being strikingly middle-class and desirable, the area has a lot of families with young children. 'Hove mums' often work part-time or not at all as they have rich husbands (often city working commuters) who provide an already abundant family income.

A typical Hove mum's role includes looking after the children, taking them to extra-curricular activities, lunching with other mums on Church Road or in The Laines in Brighton and taking their kids to Hove Park or St Ann's Well Gardens.

They will often drive Land Rovers and do their shopping in places such as The White Company, Waitrose and Hobbs.

Other tasks involve regular trips to the salon and spa, picking up the family's laundry from the laundrette and preparing picnics to take to Hove beach.
Husband: how was your day?
Hove mum: Oh really busy actually! I finished work at 1, went for lunch with the girls at Otello's on Church Road, picked up Maddison and Finley from school, took them to Hove Park and picked up the laundry on the way back.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
