Hindsights a beautiful thing.

I'll start.

I used to turn my car around in strangers' driveways. IWBU!

I used to judge parents with unruly children. I have been blessed with three amazing, but pretty feral sons. IWB So U!

I thought I would be a perfect parent. Then I had kids. Now I know that we are all trying our best and make mistakes.

I may once - when my enormous dog accidentally escaped his harness and was hurtling towards a terrified woman and her teeny dog in arms, like a slathering beast of the moors - yelled ‘it’s ok, he’s very friendly!’ (I mean, he was, but it’s irrelevant and IWBU)

I know. I’m going to have to name change if I ever want to post in The Doghouse section again.

Oh, so many! Mumsnet has corrected me a lot.
I used to ask people if the pregnancy was planned, had no idea that was intrusive or offensive.
I used to be smug that my children settled at bedtime.
I played music in the garden.
I used to compare ex working away (or just being lazy) to being a single parent.
I get excited in conversations and interrupt people or finish their sentences for them (I am trying very hard not to do this anymore!)
I'm obviously a very unreasonable person because on most AIBU threads I find myself on the opposing side to most responses.

I introduced my dp to my kids after 9 months and not the obligatory MN 2years. IWBVU 😁

NigellaSeed · 28/07/2021 19:57

Well, yeah, that is quite a lot :D but it's good to gain perspective on these things!
