you know you spend too much time on MN when...

[Skweeki]

Mumsnetty phrases become an everyday part of your vocabulary...and your 9yo turns around after you've made a stupid comment and asks...

"Mommy, are you on glue?"

[Fluffsnuts]

Yep. Regularly suggest to DH that we put something to the mumsnet jury.

And today I used the word entitled IRL!

[ImissGrannyW]

made a conscious choice to stop doing it because I worried it might 'out' me!

(my manager - whom I loathe - talked about "big girl pants")

[NoncommittalToSparkleMotion]

When I genuinely ask myself "Am I Being Unreasonable?"

[Mycraneisfixed]

My DD and I use AIBU in our texts

[Skweeki]

Ha ha I asked my friend "AIBU" the other day...she didn't have a clue what it meant!

[Skweeki]

Also, googling something...then googling it again with the word "mumsnet" after it, to see what everyone on here thinks about it.

[LetitiaCropleysCookbook]

....it's 1.25 in the morning and you're still posting. Goodnight

[LetitiaCropleysCookbook]

You start practising your head-tilt and pearl-clutch in the mirror.

[worldsworstchildren]

I keep asking my DH if he thinks our marriage is happy

[VladmirsPoutine]

I sometimes consider the AIBU in a typical situation e.g. sitting on a bus or train or in a supermarket.

[DerekSprechenZeDick]

I once turned round when a woman shouted Derek while I was in the co-op

[PinkSquash]

I always ask AIBU IRL and I sent a message saying I had LTB, which received a What? response.

I always think now what would MN do? with lots of situations

[peppercold]

derek thats funny!

[steppemum]

when you are talking to someone and you say 'you know someone recently was telling me.....' and then you realise it was something you had read on mn.

[StayAChild]

When I can relate just about everything IRL to a thread on MN.

[JustSpeakSense]

Every time a friend IRL has a little moan about their DH...you respond with a definite LTB!

[WhooooAmI24601]

I used the phrase "I don't believe in woo" to DH not long ago when he tried to tell me some old ghost story. He said I wasn't speaking English, I told him the MN folk would understand.

[mrsfuzzy]

i will often say stuff like 'on mums net you'd get flamed for that' or 'there was this woman on mumsnets who had the same problem/suggested' etc, it causes a lot of amusement and the dc/dh to say 'well what does mumsnet reckon then fuzzy ? better ask 'em !

[Skweeki]

When you type the letter "A" into Google...and the predictive search brings up "Aibu Mumsnet"

[JaneJeffer]

Anything you say to DH gets the response "did you read that on Mumsnet?".

[Nabootique]

When you're looking for the emoticon on texts/Messenger.

[MeAndMy3LovelyBoys]

When you start applying everything you read on MN to your every day life.
When you apply other people's situations to your own and become a "serial projector".

[90daychallenger]

When every little mundane thing in life turns into an AIBU thread:

AIBU to sit here on the bus?
AIBU to have cheerios rather than cornflakes?
AIBU to take an early lunch?

[RuggerHug]

When you open a conversation with your DSis with 'Did you SEE mumsnet today?!' and she knows exactly what thread you're going to talk about

[Skweeki]

Rugger I hear you...me and my friend start conversations like that all the time...
