The most shocking thing you've read on Mumsnet..

[PricklyPear1234]

Just that really.. (Kind of lighthearted/maybe not!)

I'm not from the US but am from a large country with car-dependency baked into urban planning just like the US

After so many years of being an immigrant to a more accessible country (where cycling, pedestrians, and public transport are prioritised over cars) I'm now shocked at anyone who thinks that not driving is a character flaw... Car dependency is a sign of a broken country.

(Edit for grammar and clarity)

It is unusual for white skin. There was a thread recently about it. Eye opening. It will come up if you search for it.

@cubeMorphine's story about her poorly daughter.

I haven't read the thread you mentioned but I do remember a good friend who is Kenyan with very dark skin casually mentioning that her moisturiser costs are about to go through the roof because it's "Ashy season."

To me that means the cane fields are about to be burned off and it took us a while to understand eachother 😆

Ashy season - is that Wintertime I wonder? Or summertime?

The couple whose adult son was neurodiverse and were frightened of him and basically cowering in the corner in their own house. People offered help and suggestions only to be told they were picking in their son and to mind their own business!!!

Good question! I can"t remember what time of year it was, I'll have to ask. Would assume winter though, she's diligent with sunscreen through summer

I think I read on here once that a child wasn’t neurodiverse and didn’t have ASD/ADHD.

That is truly horrific.

Yawn.

Some women choke thier partners too, don't faint!

Re: man stealing neighbour’s dog and dumping it - I’m assuming that many people responded by telling him what an awful thing he’d done. How did he respond to that?

Not sure why you are expecting me to faint.
Whatever consenting adults do in the privacy of their own space is entirely there business.

I might be wrong but aren't driving lessons given to American school kids for free or a cheap price? In the UK you pay for that yourself and it's hell expensive.
Also ignoring that the UK has higher population density and more buses/trains so there's less need to drive

I seem to recall he doubled down. He thought it was funny.

Most adults in the UK drive. It tends to be people in London who don’t. It’s a very busy city, with an excellent public transport system and often gridlocked traffic, so some people reasonably see no point in learning to drive. Other than that, it’s unusual for a Brit to not be able to drive.

Jesus Christ, I hate posters like this. Don’t they realise how stupid they make themselves look?

Exactly! And so long as it's safe and you know the limits! Personal likes between two consenting adults! What's the problem?

You're going to regret you said that one...

I have laughed way too hard at this!!! Bloody brilliant!!! 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤

Why's that? I don't indulge personally, but if people get off on that, it's up to them! Nobody elses business! ¯\(ツ)/¯

Assisted suicide and euthanasia are clearly abused by some ethicists and medical practitioners in Canada. Hearing loss, other disability, living below the poverty line and poor mental health have all been cited as grounds for letting people die. People who hadn’t considered it are, in some cases, having it suggested to them in medical settings where they are looking for help.

Canada is now looking at extending the “option” to under 18s. WTAF?!

The woman who cries when she thinks of the poor babies in nursery.Abandoned by avaricious mothers.

I don't think you'll get jumped on like some of us did as mumsnet has asked us not to derail (sorry mumsnet but just explaining) - apparently some women can't possibly enjoy xyz in the bedroom and must only like it because of the lies we've been told and/or the patriarchy and/or today's porn driven society. How they've managed to get into my bedroom to see that I'm clearly not enjoying what I say I enjoy is a mystery beyond me!
