Mumsnet “norms” that annoy you most

[usernamechanged1]

For me it’s the utterly obscure baby names. We’ve all seen them and I’m quite sure nobody uses them in real life. Yet on MN, it’s apparently standard.

Honourable mention to the 50% of posters whose husbands are earning upwards of £100K too.

LTB

Go low/no contact at the drop of a hat

When they drop in that their child has ‘mild’ sen - what does that even mean and its an ‘educational’ need if its sen?

More accurately, the pretense of obsessive hygiene levels.

Any variation of "get a grip".

Maybe you should go to the grip shop and stock up

I've been to the grip shop if you want a spare one

Etc

“LTB” for something that’s annoying rather than abusive, instead of simply communicating with the man you married/father of your children etc.

And a clean towel for each body part, every time

It’s cycling. Always.

Never answering the phone or door. I assume most of these posters spend all their time in a dark house, curtains drawn and lying on the floor in silence.

Hate that everybody on here loves gravy.

People randomly posting on the step parenting forums saying that blended families never work, ignoring the fact that the blended family only exists because the original families didn't work either.

The weirdness about taking in neighbours parcels. Isn't this just a normal neighbourly thing to do?

When someone asks for support about X and people demand to know every little irrelevant detail about their personal life out of sheer nosiness.

male-bashing

Yes, as if it's normal to cut contact with your own mother because she's a bit annoying!

I can’t stomach the stuff.

Any minor behaviour issue with children must be SEN.

Are you sure you're not on the spectrum? Have you been assessed?

Actually that sounds quite appealing

Nothing about MN is normal

I was just going to say as above pp slightest thing, sounds like they have autism or adhd
No wonder people struggle to get diagnosed properly

Sounds just like ADHD, have you considered that?

The only acceptable university is a Russell group university.

Landlord = evil
SAHMs = lazy / stupid
WMs = obv don't care enough about their children

The abbreviations! Is it really so difficult to write husband, daughter, father, or friend?

Parking/bin issues with your neighbours? Don't like their tree? Just move house!

Simple.

Oh, I know one. People posting threads that have been done a million times before.
