What makes you un-mumsnetty?

[GlummyMcGlummerson]

For me

• I park in parent and child spaces when I have my kids with me. I don't make my life harder by parking in a tiny normal space just in case that childless bloke in the Porsche 911 who runs into Asda like Linford Christie might have a better reason for it than me

• if I have a bad experience I complain. If I find my £40 steak swimming in fat with a pube in it, I don't refrain from saying anything just in case the chef has had a bad day.

• I go to the supermarket during the pandemic, I don't leave shaking and sobbing and riddled with guilt over it because I bought a Galaxy. I even take my kids with me.

• I don't "seethe" if, when the secret Santa budget is £5, I get a Bayliss and Harding gift set. I accept that £5 means limited options and I say thanks, move on and don't take it as a personal alight for years to come. I don't have the hump becauSe they didn't personally whittle a keyring from wood in the oak tree that tenderly grows in their back garden

What makes you unmumsnetty?

Oh now it has, so you get the pleasure of seeing Alan twice :)

When I buy a chicken we eat it all the same day.

I'm fat
I have a couple of tattoos
I park in parent and child spaces when my daughter is with me
I am a nurse and consider myself working class.

We have 3 loo brushes.
Our cats go where they want, on the worktops, on and in our beds.

I earn more than my husband

I voted leave

I don't top my husbands spending money up so that he has equal money to me (as is expected when the man is the higher Earner)

I think the fathers name should always be on the birth certificate (except in cases of rape)

I don't have (self diagnosed) anxiety

When I was on maternity leave and was a STAHM for a (short) period of time I didn't expect DH to do the housework when he came in from work/weekends

I do judge people

I think women can be just as emotionally abusive, controlling and manipulative as a man and so rarely offer up LTB as realistic advice

I don't tell poster what they want to hear. Sometimes the best advice is the brutally honest kind

Oh I have another. When I my twins (yes twins, no, not a troll) I went back to work full until they were 3.5 and then I decided fuck it this is too hard, now I work two days a week and I didn’t even consider asking my husband to stay at home while I continued working full time.

I love this thread!
I've thought of more...
My dog is always off lead,
I only change my bedding when i can be arsed.
I don't know what 'naice' ham is,
I love my MIL, and SIL,
I live next door to DM, and 2 minutes from Dsis, and I love it, wouldn't have it any other way.

I hate cooking, I give my children fish fingers

Don't give two hoots about covid rules, tiers or bubbles (whatever they are)

Never use the word "grim"

Rather like transgender rights

No intention of spending good drinking money on private education

I don't start a thread with the words 'school' and 'covid' in the title every single day.

I answer the door.

I don't have a CF narcissist in my life.

I don't have a toxic relationship with my parents, neighbours, siblings or in-laws.

I spend more than £30 per week on food shopping.

I don't post Christmas threads in June.

I swear all the time in real life

I don't drive

I actually say something back to my in-laws if they offend me, rather than come on here and mull it over and let them get away with it

I don't hate trans people

My parents are extremely working class. I come from a very loud, feisty, sweary family.

I don't have children, and DH and I have no plans to. Doesn't interest me.

I think adults deserve nice birthdays. I feel like screaming when I read threads about grown ups getting no birthday presents or surprise activities arranged for them by their H. I’m like plan your own party, gathering, outing, meal out (pre COVID) you know when your birthday is.

I have a cokerpoo mongrel...

I swear a fair bit in real life but can't be bothered to type things like "Fuck CFs, the fucking fuckers can fuck off to fuck...etc".
Maybe my posts would look wittier or more authentic or something if I did.

"I answer the door"

Haha yes..this 100 percent! I cannot get over all these mumsnetters who never answer their door!

I’m un-mumsnetty because I don’t know what all the abbreviations mean. The abbreviations I do know are cringeworthy and I don’t want to use them (dh, dc, etc)

I don’t have disabled kids or have any disabilities myself.

I like hugs.

@Frazzlefrazle

I don't wash my legs in the shower.

How do you manage to stand in the shower but with your legs out of the shower? That is a skill! Fair play to you.

I'm a teacher in an independent school and I hate homework. I never make my own children do it.

I’m not scared of COVID
I voted leave
I own a loo brush
My kids are not mollycoddled
I was a single parent on a low income
I have more than 2 kids
I answer my door
I don’t (and never have) helped on the pta
I don’t really care if people don’t follow the rules-that’s up to them
I adore my in-laws

I eat breakfast in bed every day

I couldn’t tell you who my next door neighbour was in a line up

I answer my front door.

I’m not an introvert
I like my in-laws
I have small boobs
I don’t find bras uncomfortable
I love my job
I like my workmates and miss them as we all WFH

I don’t hate vegans
I don’t fall out with people
I don’t burst into tears at everything
I’m not a chocoholic
I’m not a doormat and am an effective communicator, and manage to avoid the issues that so many posters could avoid simply by saying something
I don’t understand why most of MN are in love with Farrow and Ball paints
I have never felt broody
I don’t object to workmen using the loo
I’ll happily use public loos
I'm not afraid of driving on the motorway or somewhere unfamiliar

I'm not middle class, I don't drive. I claim some benefits, I have kids to different fathers. Probably scum of the earth to some of you but I don't really care.
