Things you've noticed that are frowned upon on mums net

Despising everybody else's children apart, from their own. They're all apparently running feral, and screeching at every opportunity, with parents glued to screens. Oh god forbid you even own a screen, no tvs upstairs, one TV per household, and not on the wall is mandatory. Food in the kitchen only, or you'll have vermin, and if this is together with owning a gaming console, you're the "fun-house" all DCs want to hang out at.

Dog owners using their dogs as a comparison to children, a sort of defensiveness, and vice versa.

If you're a SAHM, you're leaving yourself vulnerable financially and will end up destitute, when your dh runs off with a younger model. If you're a working Mum, you're neglecting your children, and God forbid if you don't work 'and' have your dc in childcare part of the week.

All men are sexual predators, lurking on every corner, and invading personal space regularly. Carrying pepper spray in your purse, and keys in your hands are common place here.

Lots of judgement on neighbours' gardens, and how tidy they are, eg, "number 22 has no flowers, they could make more effort, they're bringing the neighbourhood house value down."

Tumbledriers, even in the dead of winter
Central heating thermometers set above 17 degrees.

A WHOLE BOTTLE? EVERY YEAR? I think you're in denial about your drinking habits. 😉😄

I remember a thread on here about noise from neighbours (for a change) and people saying they never raised their voices in the house, and someone saying they had never once shouted upstairs, and that they phoned their children if their food was ready or they wanted to attract their attention.

Only if you drink less than 1 whole bottle over the course of a year. Anything else and you should be in recovery

Disliking dogs
Liking dogs
Answering your front door
Having people in your house without the slippers you provided
En suites
Pooing anywhere that isn’t your own toilet at home
Someone using your toilet
Renting long term
Letting family or friends meet your baby less than 2 months after birth
Children in general unless they are always well behaved and colouring a colouring book while out
Liking your husband/male partner

Just being nice for the hell of it with no agenda. MN: 'Women are conditioned to be nice! Men are never expected to be nice, be kind is a gendered term' etc. Maybe there is social conditioning, but on balance isn't that a good thing that people are nice to each other?. Surely as a society we should also expect men to be equally nice, not ridicule women who are. A predisposition towards empathy and kindness should be valued. Wouldn't we be all happier if we were kinder to each other. At least it would stop all those 'are people getting ruder' threads.

@Speckyfourfries

yes! If a blokes dares to go for a run or go to gym he’s taking the piss and shirking his duties to his family

Respecting your husband
Keeping an unplanned baby
Overlooking your family's flaws and being supportive regardless.
Not having a career

Agreed. And clothes/school run outfits. There is always so much judgement from people who hide behind keyboards, I'd love to see what they wear 😂

The thread about David Beckham has reminded me that Mumsnet also disapproves of tattoos. Not just in a ‘They’re not for me’ or ‘I don’t find them attractive’ type way, but in a really weird, extreme ‘they’re repulsive and moronic and make it look you’re dirty and decomposing’ type way.

Also the thread where it was suggested that if a woman has tattoos and body piercings it’s fair to assume she must be a BDSM porn star.

Actually we might as well just add ‘other people’s bodies’ to the list of things Mumsnet disapproves of.

whaaa??? Wine is practically a food group on here.

Wine

Feeding your kids McDonalds
Smoking
Inlaws
Windchimes
DH having a hobby
Being overweight

Yep. Some people do need to check their privilege.

Yep. A lot of these posts have me thinking you could say the opposite too.

So, in conclusion. There's a range of people and opinions.

One thing that annoyed me was the thread called "AIBU to think it's weird to charge children rent?". And like what's the thread is moot because some people can't afford not to charge rent

Totally. There seems to be one poster who pops up on every thread where someone is asking how much rent to charge their DC and says something like 'Absolutely nothing! I could never charge my DC to live in their own home!' You can practically hear the pearls being clutched.

Having adult sons or daughters who still live with their parents pay any rent, keep, or contribute to the household in any form. Even if said offspring are about 45 and earning 100K. They didn’t ask to be born afterall! And parenting doesn’t just end at 18!

Bizarre! And so unlike the real world.

Not project managing your child’s exams

Absolutely, and god help the men who actually TELL a woman, in a perfectly normal way, that they fancy them - how dare the bastard objectify you 🙄

Well, dogs aren’t human so why should they be given human rights??
