Do you think it would be nirvana or purgatory?

I think it would be very dull and without even the smell of bleach down your sink to lift the spirits Sad

No I don’t belong there with my tattoos and my SUV.

Ounce · 10/09/2019 19:11

It would suit me, apart from the lack of meat.

"THIS IS THE WASHING CURFEW ANNOUNCEMENT. REPEAT, THIS IS THE WASHING CURFEW ANNOUNCEMENT. ALL WASHING MUST BE TAKEN INSIDE BEFORE SUNSET"

User10fuckingmillion · 10/09/2019 19:13

I quite fancy that, but I think calling it the Mumsnet ideal is rather far-fetched!

TeenPlusTwenties · 10/09/2019 19:13

No toilet brushes.

Half the world would have to wash towels every day.

And you could never ever judge anyone, or be upset if you are left out of a will.

Not for me.

lazylinguist · 10/09/2019 19:13

Doesn't sound too bad to me tbh. I'd find the plant-based diet a bit hard (vegetarian wouldn't be too bad, but I'd seriously miss eggs and dairy). Otherwise fine. I'm guessing I wouldn't be allowed a toilet brush? Grin

boredboredboredboredbored · 10/09/2019 19:14

I'd never attend another wedding!

derxa · 10/09/2019 19:15

I quite fancy that, but I think calling it the Mumsnet ideal is rather far-fetched! I don't think so because for me all things listed are assumed to be 'a good thing'.

I wouldn’t be allowed to buy my dream range rover or drive less than the speed limit Sad

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 10/09/2019 19:17

I couldn't, but that's because I'd be herded into the nearest concentration camp with my fellow fatties.

mintyroller · 10/09/2019 19:19

No is a complete sentence.

YeOldeTrout · 10/09/2019 19:19

Ah come on, that's not MN nirvana.

MN nirvana involves bum sex, nutella, wine, immaculate homes, Perfect little children who all trot off to Oxbridge & menfolk who do all the housework.

MonstranceClock · 10/09/2019 19:20

I don’t think there’s one thing about me that mumsnet likes Grin

derxa · 10/09/2019 19:20

I can't help thinking that people aren't taking my very serious OP seriously. Angry

Ah, the MN version of the world I could not live in is:
‘My house My rules’ for adult guests
“Nobody tells my kids what to do”
Refuse hospitality to friends and family in favour of hotel
View everyone over the age of 45 an ‘old bag’ and generationally homophobic and racist.

derxa · 10/09/2019 19:22

Bum sex would also be banned Grin

CendrillonSings · 10/09/2019 19:22

Did you mean to be so rude?

EssentialHummus · 10/09/2019 19:23

I’d do it if I could keep me loo brush. Though presumably there’d be no P&C parking? Hmm.

MildThing · 10/09/2019 19:23

“MN nirvana involves bum sex, nutella, wine, immaculate homes, Perfect little children who all trot off to Oxbridge & menfolk who do all the housework.”

Well tbf no version of Nirvana is possible unless men do all the housework.

Whatwouldbigfatfannydo · 10/09/2019 19:26

Based on recent threads, I couldn't cope with everyone doing their utmost to be posh and keep up with the Joneses Envy

Soola · 10/09/2019 19:28

Republic Yes, once the Queen dies.

Religion is banned - Keep Christianity, ban all others

Plant based diet compulsory - I’ll have to say yes as I’ve been a vegetarian for over 25 years and it would make me give up dairy

No private schools - Not fussed

Socialist government only - Over my dead body! I’m right wing and loathe and detest the left

ILoveDolly · 10/09/2019 19:29

I will pass thanks. With my meat, public school child and dirty towels.
