Iworktofu1n9hard · 02/02/2019 16:13

I ask because I was shunned on netmums because, apparently, it’s for people with younger children.

Stupid me. Nobody told me you stop being a mum when your child starts year 8; I must have missed the email. But that’s so like me, I have been known to miss things, busses, trains. Once I even missed a flight.

Anyway, back to letting me down easy:
Where was I? Oh yes, I was saying I don’t think my fragile self asteem could take a second battering, so if my ramblings about my, daughter who thinks her father and I are stupid (only god knows how we managed to hold down, jobs, mortgages, cars, holidays, and a late life masters). The please let me know ASAP, but please refrain from using foul language; I’m having a mee-grain 😏

Well they've let me on, I post more about my puppy than my children who are in their '20s but I hope some of the experience I can share about the teenage years has been helpful Grin

Racecardriver · 02/02/2019 16:17

You don’t even have to have children to use mn. Enjoy!

Pascha · 02/02/2019 16:22

There's a teenagers board here, nested under
Talk>being a parent>teenagers
If you want to go exploring the boards. You might find some like-minded parents with similar age children there to chat to.

Bombardier25966 · 02/02/2019 16:25

There's no joining criteria on MN, but you might want to check which board you are on before starting threads. I assume you're not wanting people to ask you anything Smile

Parthenope · 02/02/2019 16:25

Well, you posted this in Ask Me Anything, so are you prepared to be asked anything about your daughter, master's or mee-grain? Grin

The only people I want an official admissions policy on are the people who write 'draws' for 'drawers', which for some reason annoys me in a more visceral way than MRAs or anti-vaxxers.

PestymcPestFace · 02/02/2019 16:32

Relax, they let anyone on here Grin

You are allowed to swear too.

Stroppy kids and peri-menopausal issues abound.

Now as you have managed to post in Ask me anything...

How long does a roast chicken last in your house.

PestymcPestFace · 02/02/2019 16:32

Feck I forgot the question mark??????

HomoHeinekenensis · 02/02/2019 16:35

I too want to know about the chicken OP please. Do you go down the make it last eight days and then bone broth or are you a chuck it away once the white meat has been taken off sort of poster? Strictly on a need to know basis you understand.

BasinHaircut · 02/02/2019 16:38

What sort of ham do you buy?

Doublevodka · 02/02/2019 16:41

Welcome. I'm just placemarking to find out about the chicken.

NowYouHaveDoneIt · 02/02/2019 16:42

Ooh as you are doing ama- do you know anything about plumbing and why I have a terrible smell that comes up through my sink everytime I use my washing machine? (almost like a sewer smell apologies to anyone munching on a Bourbon in particular at this point!Hmm)

RepealTheGRA · 02/02/2019 16:43

Welcome. We can get a bit snarky about ‘nethuns’ here, so you may have found your people!

Teenagers is a good board. Year 8 is when it all turns to shit, teenagers are very similar to toddlers except you can’t tuck them under your arm and move them to a different room when they’re pissing you off Wine

LikeACowsOpinion · 02/02/2019 16:43

Also curious about the chicken...

Welcome OP.
We're better here.
Plus there's no tickers.

Toddlerteaplease · 02/02/2019 16:44

I have cats, not children!

NowYouHaveDoneIt · 02/02/2019 16:45

Good one basincut I like what you did there....

NowYouHaveDoneIt · 02/02/2019 16:47

whispers back

Jackshouse · 02/02/2019 16:48

Toddlerteaplease but cats are children.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/02/2019 16:48

You’re allowed on here if...
You hate your mil or
You know what cf means or
You yes, your Sunday roast chicken lasts at least a week.

Welcome!

My youngest is now 18, but I’ve been here a while.

PestymcPestFace · 02/02/2019 16:48

A few pointers

Do not post in AIBU, unless you are feeling brave.

If you ever want to rant about CF (cheeky fucker) parking a diagram will be much appreciated.

Don't use lol or hun, people will take the mickey

Don't answer questions about the longevity of you chicken, unless you are up for a laugh.

Sorry you had a hard time in the other place Flowers

LikeACowsOpinion · 02/02/2019 16:50

@NowYouHaveDoneIt those things the NM posters have at the bottom of every single one of their posts.
Usually regarding their DC and how old they are.

'Little Tommy is 3469 days 11 hours 6 minutes and 37 seconds years old.'

Elephantina · 02/02/2019 16:55

If you like getting roasted, try posting something vaguely controversial in AIBU. Something about having a toilet brush, or how often you change your bed, will do nicely.

You can swear freely and nobody gives a shit here, unless you are attacking someone personally. So for example, you can say, "Isn't the weather cuntish today?" but not "You, lady, are an ignorant fuckwitted twat."

Learn to use the watch and bookmark functions - it helps.

BaronessBomburst · 02/02/2019 16:56

We are nothing like Nethuns.
'Baby dancing' is not allowed, neither are 'bubs', 'hun' or 'hubby'.
I think they're the only rules.......

AMA: Eating grapes in a supermarket. Yes or no?

LikeACowsOpinion · 02/02/2019 16:58

What is baby dancing? Confused

RepealTheGRA · 02/02/2019 16:59

Ooh forgot my AMA

What do you think about children in pushchairs with their ears pierced, drinking fruit shoots?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/02/2019 17:00

Baby dancing is sex isn’t it?
