I have...

  • a hot tub
  • a landrover
  • a trampoline
  • a toilet brush
  • only a shower, no bath

I've enjoyed being a SAHM with a husband that works away.

scarhand · 26/03/2023 22:08

Voted Brexit and don't regret it. Drive a SUV and no, won't LTB because he didn't do a thing he said he would do.

Am otherwise a normal, non-racist, non-xenophobic human who drives a low emission car (even though it's an evil SUV), votes for what seems best to me, chooses to stick with DH even when he's being a PITA and generally tries to see the best in people.

...and leggings

meatballsoup · 26/03/2023 22:08

I've been a sahm for most of my married life. I do all of the house work, shopping, cooking & cleaning. I don't expect my husband to help around the house because that's my job. His job is to go out & earn the money. We are both really happy with this and it's worked really well for us for a long time.

Catsstillrock · 26/03/2023 22:09

I use the disabled loo sometimes.

dont go out of my way to but will if it’s easier with the kids in tow / more clean / need to be able to wash my hands to empty my moon cup etc.

despite the mumsnet belief that this robs more needy people of those facilities the only time I’ve ever had someone waiting it was a parent with young children and a buggy doing the same as me.

What's wrong with leather chesterfields @Giggorata ? We have 2

Saschka · 26/03/2023 22:14

I have a toilet brush.

I always thought the Harry Potter books were really derivative and badly written, and my opinion of them hasn’t changed since JKR became Patron Saint of GC.

I don’t like the Royal Family OR Harry and Meghan, two sides of the same whiny coin.

I am bringing my child up in a flat, with NO garden and NO car, and furthermore I quite enjoy taking him to activities.

My MIL was pretty nice. Now deceased, and I miss her.

I hadn’t even heard of Hush or Seasalt before I came on here, certainly don’t own any, and am not planning on buying any.

minou123 · 26/03/2023 22:15

I smoke

I'm child-free by choice and I dare to post on mumsnet 😁

StewPots · 26/03/2023 22:19

PinkSyCo · 26/03/2023 22:19

Loo brush;
Indoor cat;
Child with hyphenated name;
Sanpro easily available for guests and family;
Bathroom has a small pedal bin with a liner;
Kids watched a lot of TV when growing up;
I have nothing against dogs in theory, but I don't see why you'd saddle yourself with one as a pet.

Stepuptowardsinfinity · 26/03/2023 22:21

I don't like children, own several loo brushes, and read the daily mail online every day... rushes off to name change.
