Things people on MN don't like/do that seems popular in real life!

[MidwifeyForLifey]

Well, I say real life, I mean in person.

I'll start

Eat excessive amounts of food without considering the calories

Let their DC off school for holidays

Wear leggings or Uggs

Let their children play 18+ games in Year 6/7

My DH isn't a total twat and I use a toilet brush.
I also bloody love disposable cleaning wipes.

Not driving. I never realised that this is something shameful that people must be looking down on me for until I joined Mumsnet

Say it depends.

People on mumsnet always behave in the same way, all the time. And are not subject to whim.

I have two toilet brushes (one upstairs and one downstairs).

I also have two bathroom bins, one upstairs and one downstairs.

I don't batch cook and have never meal planned in my life. Nor do I intend to start now.

I like M & S clothes.

We would drink alcohol when the kids were in the house. We had none of this "being on ambulance duty" bollocks that is spouted.on here.

Oh and I also somehow miraculously managed to work out I was pregnant without asking strangers online

Genuinely buffled. Could someone please enlighten me what's wrong with loo brushes and bins? And how would you even manage without the former?

Happy to have guests that have just popped by can’t not understand why this is considered rude

I don’t consider many things rude that many on mn do

Admit that ds is privileged to go to private school it’s an unfair privilege that that vast majority of the population simply can’t afford (and it’s certainly not from my average way) no one can afford private education by just cutting back a little

Use bleach loads of it

Can understand why people voted for Brexit and don’t sneer at them

Have a routine for sleep and I didn’t do down time when ds was little

Plan meals who has the time for this

Use a mooncup no thanks too messy and I don’t want others to see me wash it out or to see other women wash their mooncup out and yes the fanny smells a bit when you are on your period apart from some here on mn

Not have much money
Not regularly but new clothes
Use loo brushes
Clean bed sheets when I remember
Have bathroom bins
Don’t mind people dropping in
Let my kids go online
Most days not know whats for dinner
Laughing at the mooncup responses here.
Looking forward to brexit.

I don't have a mooncup either and never will.

I am not wealthy, but I had three children.

Shock horror, my children all went to state schools. Apparently according to some on here if you can't afford to privately educate all children then you can't afford to have them anyway and have no business doing so. To which my response would be "up your arse".

If someone rings the doorbell I answer the door.
As long as my clothes dont look dirty or smell I will wear them for days, often all week (underwear excepted).
I have never deep cleaned the inside of my washing machine, and I don't have 101 uses for vinegar.
I have got 3 loo brushes. I don't know anyone who wads up loo paper and gets down the pan to wipe off skids.

Say 'did you mean to be so rude?' When surely NO-ONE says that in real life.

Say 'did you mean to be so rude?' When surely NO-ONE says that in real life.

I am literally LIVING for the day I come out with this instead of my usual pathetic "oh, ok, sorry!"

RL folk don't seem to expect people to have followed a conversation forensically to avoid repeating a point that's already been made.

Drink alcohol and eat lots of chocolate and cheese when the kids are in bed

Have loo brushes and bins

Let the kids watch CBeebies

I do have a mooncup and don't answer the door though

Loving this thread , now I can say it all

I go to Greggs , even get their stuff from Iceland for emergencies
Use oven chips and aunt Bessie's roast potatoes and Yorkshire's
Have a loo brush
Change bed 2 weekly
Wash towel as needed
Work and have a dog
Deep clean the house every month
Wipe down woodwork ( dog)
Cut the umbilical cord of my kids when they hit adults.
Love my mother in law
Partner can be a twat but he's ok really
Earn less than 22k ( student)
Kids went to local academy.
Don't use a moon cup
Sure I can think of plenty more

In RL people I know are falling over themselves to get their children into Faith schools, everyone hopes their child will be Mary or Joseph in the Nativity Play and no one withdraws their child from RE lessons. On Mumsnet you dare not admit that you are quite happy for your child to hear a Bible Story at school.

And why not have bathroom bins, what do you do with the empty toilet roll or toothpaste tube ?

Toilet brushes
Mrs Hinch, everyone I know seems to follow her.

Do not live in a big metropolis. Do not have hospital/walk in centre/a&e within 40 miles.

Live rural and my kids have played outside out of sight with friends since about 8yr old. Roaming on bikes, to park to woods to fields.
I am obviously the worst of worst parent.

Answer my door/phone without prior arrangement in triplicate
Signed in blood of a first born child.

Until i moved into town recently i knew all my neighbours and rarely locked my front door.

Have a loo brush and bin in bathroom.

Don't do social media except selling pages. I just dont give 2 about what you had for breakfast, that little johnny sneezed twice today nor your fabulous mlm shit is making your life 'amazehun'.

Clean my own house when it suits me not excessively.

Dont wash towels after one

Like my ex's parents.

Dont earn £££p/y.

The 'what's a steak bake' comment was funny as. Such a PA way of letting everybody know that the poster wouldn't ever demean themselves by crossing the threshold of a Greggs!

Most people I know will book a weeks holiday to a resort half board or AI or a holiday by the seaside. Mnetters go to a cornish cottage or camping in France because they are not chavvy common

Ooh i have just done one of the most shocking things i once read about on mn...

I had a coffee and a chat with ... ^a tradesperson^ in my kitchen i
Am dammed to hell arent i? 😲😲

Got joiner in to fix kitchen cupboards. So as usual offered a cuppa and a few biccies.

Once saw someone on here utterly outraged that they should make workfolks a cuppa now and again😀

Willow and what about the absolute horror of allowing a tradesperson to use your toilet? .

Trades person might do a poo though and there is no loo brush it is all too much

I was saved that terrifying experience this time but have had to endure it before...oh the horror 😉😉

MrsJ
Shhhhhh but i have a loo brush i am doubly dammed😀
