To ask if you’re mumsnetty enough to be on mumsnet? 😂

Yes and no

I have 2 children - the ‘right’ number according to MN…
I can make a roast chicken last 2 meals
I don’t own a loo brush
I hate housing estates and live in a Victorian terrace which is tasteful but poky and on the market
I’m NC with both parents for sad reasons

So insofar yes I am a typical Mumsnetter - however

Neither I, my DP or my kids are ND (unless there’s a big surprise in store)
My eldest loves school (youngest only 1)
None of us have anxiety or cry and shake at having to answer the door or pick up the phone
I like my colleagues and enjoy socialising with them
I hate WFH
I use fake tan
I consider myself too young for Boden, Seasalt etc
I’m unmarried
I think Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy are deeply unattractive
I think women should use the free and highly reliable contraception that is available to us rather than moaning about a perfectly foreseeable CMS situation (yep, sorry)
I’m not ‘absolutely terrified’ of nuclear war, conscription or running out of loo roll/pasta

I'll go better in one word....I'm male.

I don't earn a six figure salary.
I don't have 500k in my pension pot.
I have a mortgage.
I will have a mortgage until I'm 65.
I don't have 100k in savings.

No, I'm too common.

I'm not going to have an inheritance and I'm completely fine with that.

I can live very comfortably on 40k

I am in contact with all my family and relatives, even the ones who are being weird and mean.

My parents are not narcissists.

I'm pro-choice (but would never force that on anyone else)

This may have been the demographic years ago when it was first launched but it certainly isn't now. Most surely buy their knickers from Primark.

I would guess many users live on junk food, the old cooking form scratch will be a tiny minority as will be posh holidays. Most probs go to Skeggy in a caravan and there's nothing wrong with that.

You get the occasional 'we have a 6 figure income where can we go for a holiday on a 20k budget' but it is the exception/wind up not representative of the average user.

I don’t wear trainers with with skirts or dresses and never owned a white pair

I’m another loo brush owner who now feels pangs of guilt when cleaning the toilet

I now feel similar guilt wearing my dressing gown (I’m in my ‘dressing gown of doom’)

I never serve anyone chicken

I don’t have any interest in gel manicures or getting a little machine so I can do them at home

Although I was on the original thread, I remain fuzzy on the penis beaker concept

I am single with no kids and no likelihood of having them. I live by myself.

I have difficult family members but make the effort with them because I believe that nothing can be solely 'their fault'. This has helped to heal things enormously.

Ditto any irritating neighbours. Also, I don't care what my neighbours get up to if it doesn't directly affect me.

I answer the phone and the door even when I don't know who is there.

I can't stand Joules or Fatface.

I rarely change my bed because I can't be bothered.

I use a loo brush pretty much every day.

I would never get involved in an extra marital affair bit can usually see both sides of the story.

I do love Mumsnet though. People here have helped me with many things over the years, both directly and indirectly.

Yes, but do you have a loo brush?

I'm a sort of deranged apologetic Windigo, made of moss and twigs and moose hair and beaver tails stuck together with maple syrup. I lurk in the woods making strange effigies of myself and lift my shaggy head to the sky to howl lugubriously at the northern lights in the cold darkness of an Arctic winter.

Also people saying "my house isn't spotless" that's not anti MN at all, if anything it's the other way round.
Nah, that was MN in the old days. These days MN reads like a copy of Good Housekeeping from 1958.

Im not mumsnetty because:
I don’t have a high earning husband.
HATE wfh.
Don’t have a massive pension “pot”.
Don’t know which universities are Russell Group.
Don’t have a National Trust membership
I like and want to spend time with people outside “my little family” (puky face).
I haven’t diagnosed myself as autistic.
Don’t have a heart attack at the very idea of not having savings of at least 20k as a safety net.
Am not obsessed with France and the French.

I like my husband, MIL and weddings, and I will never be full from a salad, no matter how massive.

I don't live in the centre of the universe aka London. But I do shop in Waitrose so that nearly makes up for it.

I don't drive
I live in a flat, and the flat is in a part of London suburbia that Mumsnetters on the property and DIY pages think is really naff and advise people to avoid!
I have one DC and I will probably end up with a gap of almost four years (gasp!!!) if DH and I decide to have another.
I don't earn six figures
I don't batch cook
My DH doesn't have an outing hobby.....but I do!
I moved in with my mum for a few weeks after giving birth so she could help out with the baby (there was a family emergency which meant that my DH was away for a bit after the birth and I didn't want to be alone!). Apparently half of Mumsnet was out shopping in Tesco/ batch cooking/renovating the day after giving birth and would be absolutely horrified at the thought of me being such a wet wipe and needing support from my mum when "you only need one adult to take care of a baby"
My DS hated a sling so I was never able to action that classic Mumsnet advice of "just pop the baby in a sling" to crack on with housework etc
Proud owner of a toilet brush!
Centerparcs just isn't my thing... But I do get why other people like it. Each to their own.
When my MIL comes to stay it's for MONTHS not days and I read these posts about people not wanting the PILS to stay for a weekend and think... Gosh, that's nothing! (It's a cultural thing)

I also vape.

I have multiple toilet brushes and I love them!!!

I'm a SAHM

We have a cleaner

My husband does most of the cooking

I don't shower every day either

I change bedding once every other week

We share towels

I don't drive, and on occasion ask friends for lifts to places!

I like going to hen nights and weddings

We spent a fortune on our wedding and had over 100 guests, I don't understand the "we did it on our lunch break and got people off the street"

I always answer my front door

I don't mind if people pop over
unexpectedly

If my kids don't like dinner I'll cook them something else

I think trans women deserve to be treated with respect

I like my family and my in-laws (most of the time!)

I don't think its worth falling out with people over things like giving my toddler milky cup of tea

My friends are nice to eachother

I hate cooking, can’t meal prep in advance, and not everything is made from scratch!
I don’t shop in Boden and white stuff, I’d happily shop online or primark!
If I was buying a new winter coat, I’d think anything over 50/60 pounds was very expensive, over my budget and I’d keep looking.
I like charity shops and buy many things second hand!

I only wear pyjamas for bed, never when I get in from work but may put on track bottoms

I'm not permanently offended
Have never WFH and would never want to
I don't hate, or even dislike, men
I don't own an airfryer

I have no children.
Love dogs, the smellier the better.
I also have a loo brush.
I am not interested in what others earn or have in savings and pension pots.
I live in a mediocre-bedroomed house and have no desire to buy a mansion or extend.
I don't WFH, am very productive at work and like my work colleagues.
I don't have health anxiety.

Me and dp

my little one

Sorry OP they're both very Mumsnet!

I don't own a slow cooker

I sometimes buy and prefer frozen mash

I can't feed 4 for a week on a single roast ( hand reared and organic) chicken

I've never said LTB

Goodness me give your head a wobble! 😂
