@Pinkbonbon

Abusive men to be tried before a jury of 12 women and if found guilty - hung drawn and quartered.

All work 'Karens' to recieve same treatment for bullying.

...actually, I'm cool with that.

What do you mean by "all work 'Karens'?"

Excellent thread Op 😂

Coca Cola would be a class A.
No-one allowed to vote Tory ever again.
All over 18's to be thrown out of the parental home and made to fend for themselves.
All over 8's to be made to do chores.
No SUV's at all, no excuses.
No overseas travel unless it's 'educational or enlightening'.

troll hunting would be legal

I'd implement badly parked cars being crushed into a cube of shame

MN chicken would become the nation's mascot

Knocking on someone's door between the hours of 7pm and 7am would be punishable by life imprisonment.

All children over the age of 10 would be expected to behave like adults, as it's only 8 years away from them actually being an adult.

All private parking spaces would be guarded by penguin bollards

Everyone would be referred to by the titles of “Dear” or “Darling”. With the exception of in laws.

Swearing would be perfectly acceptable at any time, unless it was by a DH /DP, in which case he would have to leave the family home until he'd completed an anger management course.

there'd be reality tv shows such as "Draw me a parking diagram", "Whose shopping list is it anyway" and "Did you mean to be so rude?!"

All requests to authorities will have to be presented with an adequate diagram. The better the diagram, the better the chance of the request being successful.

All parents of adult children would be obliged to take 50% of any of their adult child's earnings, and put it into a savings account. This money is then to be presented to the child at a later date, as a surprise. Probably when the adult child is 32 and has finally saved up a deposit to buy a house. The government will inform. parents this is the only way for them to teach their child to budget effectively.

Once your youngest child reaches school age, it will be compulsory to be in paid employment, unless your child has a diagnosed disability. There will be large fines for parents of school age children, who choose to rely on the income of their spouse.

All 6 year olds would by law have to be able to undertake a range of simple household tasks including making a spaghetti Bolognese and changing a car tyre without assistance. Ironing however will be exempt because no one on mumsnet irons.

1.You should not get a dog unless it is a rescue dog.
Once you do get a dog you must love it more than your children
But you must never, ever walk it off its lead in public or let it jump up at anybody.

  1. Any disagreement will be settled via AIBU with each complainant starting a thread to tell their side of the story.


  1. If your child is not fully toilet trained night and day by 3 their parents will wear a toilet seat of shame around their neck with the words "I failed at parenting" written on it.


  1. Grandparents will be expected to provide a mandatory 60 hours free childcare a month.

'Chucking' and 'popping' meanwhile will be added to the national curriculum, so one day you too will be schooled in the art of popping the twins in the sling while you chuck meat, veg and saffron into the slow cooker. All sentences will begin with the words 'but surely you just...'.

Foreign holidays will be recognised as a basic human need.

All 13yos must have a clothing allowance of £20 per calendar month. Parents must have no say in what clothing items their child chooses and must not supplement the child's clothing in anyway. When the child can't actually afford to buy a pair of decent shoes from their allowance, they will learn a financial lesson.

all clothes left out to dry would be detected by drone spiders as soon as the last of the sun's fiery rays kiss the day goodbye.
the spiders then would shake their willies gleefully as if in a trance and jizz all over the damp laundry with pleasure and efficiency

School dinners must consist entirely of lentils, kale and of course, hummus and vegetable wraps. Nothing tasty or joyous must be allowed to cross the school threshold. Children will of course be ravenous as the new food will remain largely uneaten but this is a minor inconvenience.

No religious beliefs or a belief in Psychics would be allowed.
Strictly science only.
All Psychics or anyone claiming to be psychic would be burnt at the stake.

After that, anyone who thinks about religion would have to give their heads a wobble.

There would be no voting because conservatives would no longer exist.

No alcohol, even thinking about a glass of wine on a Friday night makes you a raging alcoholic who should check into rehab as soon as possible. Anyone caught drinking to be thrown in jail.

Anyone who earns less than 250k to be euthanised. It's cruel to expect anyone to live on less than that measly amount.

Every one would be NC with someone.
Every woman would have an unlimited credit card because controlling spending would be financial abuse.
Everyone should spend 10 mins checking their privilege every day after giving their head a wobble. Men should spend an hour each day doing it.
Every parking offense should come with a hand drawn diagram.
