To ‘be more Mumsnet’ in 2025?

Jumell · 31/12/2024 13:38

I’m going to try and achieve some of these goals in 2025:-

Earn 100k pa at least
Move to Hampstead
Buy a Range Rover
Shop only at Boden
BAN the Daily Fail
Have 101 on Speed Dial
Get a ring doorbell

NEVER open front door except by prior appointment

Diet and then NEVER thereafter exceed a BMI of 20

Get tested for neurodiversity

Make a whole cooked chicken last a week
Massive salad

Go NC with my ENTIRE narcissistic family

Book a spa day

Get rid of my toilet brush

Chronicle daily how little I’m eating to keep my BMI permanently under 20

Encourage all woo threads as it fascinates me - generally - be more ‘woo’

Declare friendship groups as too much drama

SO C’MON!! There are worse goals for 2025 to have, surely?

I plan on telling everyone how ridiculous they are whenever they tell us how much they spent on a house/car/bag/holiday/childminder/hobby. Any £ amount spent on anything, really. I’ll be sure to remind them that they have more money than sense, and tell them that they should have paid what the item cost in 1963.

You also need to be in a state of constant performative bafflement at how anyone could ever have a human emotion or make a mistake.

Going into 2025 with my tried and tested theory of
"Let them "

That is all!

Some of your goals sound like torture.

I live in Hampstead.
This is hilarious. It applies to so many of my neighbours...I am happily an outcast.
To be truly Hampstead it appears you need an intercom on your door so you never have to go near it, I've long been baffled!!

Make sure your DH doesn't have a social life. He's not allowed to go out drinking 3 times a year

And under no circumstances can he be "allowed" to leave the house after you've had a baby. Not even a trip to the gym after 3 weeks in the new baby "bubble".

Always remember: your baby, your rules.

If he doesn't like it then LTB. You'll be better off on your own with no job, no money and no support system.

Also rein and reign

I struggle with effect and affect I have to admit. I often have a pedant correct me, all the more amusing when they drop a spag clanger too of course.

If your OH refers to you as a ‘bigger girl’ or ANY other words which basically imply the same thing you MUST LEAVE HIM IMMEDIATELY!!

There are no health issues that can't be directly traced to perimenopause and 100% sorted by HRT. What's that - You're only 23? It's still "peri". You'll simply shrivel up and crumble to dust without it....Davina said so!

Omg so on point !

I want to starve myself so I can bitch about people being on Ozempic. Of course I'll actually start taking Ozempic first, but I won't tell anyone, because it's nobody's fucking business. 😀

Make sure your DH doesn't have a social life. He's not allowed to go out drinking 3 times a year, and heaven forbid stays out all night. Even worse if his friend is a female work colleague!

But also, make sure you book in a monthly spa and girls night so it's "fair"

And bear and bare. I shudder every time I read “Bare with me”. Not on your life, that’s for my husband and only him.

2025 is my year to learn the difference between
your/you’re
their/there/they’re
too/to/two

Will you add in saying 'would have / could have'
instead of would of/ could of or will you leave that as a goal for 2026.

Tbh It's all been done to death op, the Boden thing, the bog brush, the cooked chicken etc etc. These lists come out at least every month or so. So I'm sorry to say you're ironically as much an mn cliche as the folk you're mocking Grin.

Very very true !

Make up things about the OP or husband/relative that werent in the post, going on a wild fantasy about things they havent said

You need to focus on having an affair, abusive, gambling habits, drugs, disordered eating.

'Get your children into a Russell group uni.'

Probably okay as a back up plan but surely darling Tilly and darling Theo are on track for Oxbridge and your world will literally collapse when it doesn't happen. " Oh gosh what ever are we going to tell people "

MrsMoastyToasty · 31/12/2024 17:20

Have a penis beaker.
Adopt a "tinkly laugh " for when people are rude to you.
Hate your MIL, even if she's the loveliest soul.
"Snap and fart".

All family members over the age of 11 (when it's acceptable to have a smart phone) must be tracked at all times, so you know when to start the dinner.
Partners/husbands must phone or message every 30 minutes if they are on a night out. They must be home before midnight in case the children have a major injury while they are asleep in bed.
Any female family member over 55 can be used for unpaid childcare at any time. If unwilling their relationship with the children will be irreparably damaged.
