I’m I allowed to be on here?

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 😏

Shunned on netmums? Dear, dear God.

Shunned on netmums

There’s a t-shirt Grin

LikeACowsOpinion · 02/02/2019 17:03

@ThroughThickAndThin01 oh God, no. That's making my teeth itch...

VelociraptorRex · 02/02/2019 17:06

Getting kicked off Netmums sounds like a good goal to have in life Grin welcome OP, in addition to the chicken question, what is your opinion of toilet brushes, Zoflora, and wearing shoes in the house since you're on AMA? Smile

Elephantina · 02/02/2019 17:17

I forgot to ask a question too. Has a tradesperson or delivery person ever had a shit in your bog? If yes, what was your reaction?

TheDowagerCuntess · 02/02/2019 18:06

Something tells me the OP won't be able to re-find her own thread to reply to it. Grin

ScreamingValenta · 02/02/2019 18:08

I am childfree by choice and haven't been kicked off yet!

PestymcPestFace · 02/02/2019 19:16

@Iworktofu1n9hard

We are willing to speak to you.

Good point Dowager

motherrye · 02/02/2019 20:45

Peeing myself laughing at this. I'm new, very new and am sure to break all the rules and no doubt piss a few folks off.

Now off to find some suitably controversial topic to start.

VelociraptorRex · 02/02/2019 21:32

@motherrye be brave, we're not all vipers in this nest Wink

You lot are all brilliant! So glad I was shunned.

My ‘kids’ aka gitts are in their early 20’s and still living at home, hence the need for somewhere to vent.

I just want them to move out 😫

Oh I forgot to answer the question.

Drink lots of gin (responsibly). Stay in a haze until everything’s all over 👍🏽😂

@Iworktofu1n9hard

Welcome! Beware MN can take over your life🤣

JiltedJohnsJulie · 02/02/2019 22:52

Year 8 is when it all turns to shit, tick,don't tell me that, DD is in Y7.

I spend more time than is reasonably healthy in the Teenage Section, how did I not know this? Shock

Can I ask how you stand on loo brushes OP? Smile

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 02/02/2019 22:54

As said - don’t say “Baby dancing”.

Ttcing - fine. Sex - no problem. Shagging - feel free. Bonking - if you must. Fucking or screwing oare also acceptable.

But not “Baby dancing”. It makes us vomit.

Redshoeblueshoe · 02/02/2019 23:02

I have some very effective methods of getting adult DC's to move out.
STOP BEING NICE TO THEM Grin

namechangedforanon · 02/02/2019 23:02

I don't even have kids 🤣🤣

Usuallyinthemiddle · 02/02/2019 23:04

Try not to lose your shit when the 'I just DON'T understand people who...' starts!
Bide your time and let everyone else do it for you...
Outside of AIBU it's a fun place to lurk. As long as you provide organic packed lunches every day and don't stick your loo brush in the dishwasher...

nocoolnamesleft · 02/02/2019 23:05

I thought dtt (doing the thing) was the standard mumsnet abbreviation for fucking?

VelociraptorRex · 02/02/2019 23:10

When I read "baby dancing" I thought it was some kind of toddler activity Blush

Weenurse · 02/02/2019 23:11

Am also interested in how long roast chicken lasts in your house?

NowYouHaveDoneIt · 02/02/2019 23:12

likeacow thanks for explaining the ticker thing- never been on nms- sounds obsessive and boring! nocool I'm no expert on here but I think it dtd ( doing the do?) still means the same thing. Someone will no doubt be along if I'm wrong. OP you need to find out about 'snapped and farted' in classics too.

Badcat666 · 02/02/2019 23:14

Welcome welcome!!!!

They let me in and I've only got cats and I don't know shit about children (which way round are you meant to hold them again?)

Swearing at things is ok, swearing at other posters is not.. I think....

OP -
What's your favourite flavoured crisp/ maize snack and chocolate?

Also can you tell me why the hairs on my eyebrows are vanishing and then regrowing on my chin and out of my right nostril like an 80 year old bloke when I'm a laydee under 50 years of age?
My favourite swear word at the moment is Twatwaffle. What's yours?

elfycat · 02/02/2019 23:14

I remember when my HV suggested NM as a place to find parenting advice. I laughed and said 'oh no. I'll go to the other place thanks'.

Thank goodness you've found us at last OP

So: AMA: do you have a penis beaker?
