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

[PricklyPear1234]

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

That thread was very sad particularly that post what an horrific situation. And the little girl after acted as if all was normal

The poster from a couple of days ago, who went to a hotel with a man she met online, and he sexually abused her, then they went for dinner, then she went back to the hotel and let him continue to abuse her. 😢

That before giving birth, parents must be made to attend a parenting course, and if they don't meet the standard the baby should be aborted or removed and the parents sterilised.

I'm also in the north, I can say everyone in my household sits (and no one can shut a door).

Fair enough. It’s common in London and no-so-much elsewhere though.

I think I only sit if I'm ill and need to make sure it's safe to stand? Then finish standing.

It is!!! There's a quick nod/wink/eyes up, in the direction of the loo combo, normally to whoever is around when you're "going to drop the kids off at the pool" (In my case, usually Bob the cat, who has no idea what I'm doing anyway and doesn't care so long as I don't interrupt his day long nap).
Then, upon exit, when the kids and their mates have exited via the flushy slide and making sure you've left the rusty sheriffs badge area clean and without the need for dishwashing the loo brush/wellies/American cheese/ next doors trampoline or whatever shit stained articles are hanging around, back down and a secret (hands washed in Rudolphs Dangleberries antibac soap... Fabulosa products are great aren't they?! Especially the Christmas edition!!!) handshake!
I love my secret club but it can be lonely in here!!!
But no matter, I shall start a controversial thread once I'm considering fitting an AI voice chip into Bob... I mean, why do cats need to purr or meow when you can have them speaking instead!!! 🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉🤝🤝🤝

I just cried my eyes out, what an amazing woman and what a cruel world for her to be so ill after all she had done.

In lighter matters the Korean granny & the parking thread in hazmat suit were brilliant

To answer your question OP
THIS!

The hair drying in the morning thread. It did not matter what anyone suggested, the OP was adamant that she had to blow dry her hair first thing and this was disturbing her neighbours. In the end she was being asked why she even started an AIBU as she clearly had no intention of doing anything differently.

I think that one turned out to be a troll.

This must have been a troll post. There are so many.

Yes I recall that her husband was having an affair

@ShortMotherfuckerWithTheIvoryHair I read the whole thread from start to finish in an afternoon, it was so uplifting and then so utterly tragic, when her husband told us that she'd died. I sat absolutely balling my eyes out, I felt like I'd lost a friend. Her user name was @earthmotherimnot.

Is it just me who believes that arse cheeks are more open when squatting/sitting on a toilet, as opposed to standing? Yes, I’m a sitter/squatter 😳

Omg just read it. All those comments saying she should be a writer are right - I feel like I have been on an epic journey with the twists in that! Shocking that the law isn’t clearer, or better. Just awful 😢

The husband was sleeping with the neighbours niece from what I remember 🤦

The most shocking thing I read was a poster saying that if there were a war, she would do nothing on behalf of her country, and stop any of her family from doing anything also.

Some of the snarky, unkind and unhelpful comments made on every post. There really is no need

This kind is.

What? Where else would you wipe your bum APART from on the loo?! In your bedroom? In the kitchen?! I am confused….

Yeah I am very surprised on some threads at the level of anti military feeling - not just pacifist, which I totally understand, but declaring all soldiers are psychos / domestic abusers / sadists. I’m married to one, he really isn’t.

Which does this refer to?

Curiously how do you part the peach sea to get on in there while standing up?

Like when you sit in a squat position the tension + the seat pulls your mud flaps apart but when you stand they tend to slam back together like magnetic clackers and your booty hole tucks downwards (the very distinction of what makes us uniquely true bipeds).

Surely half the work is already done for you when you're in a seated position, after parking your breakfast, with your cheeks already wide asunder?

Standing up and then wiping sounds to me a bit like trying to write a note to the milkman through the letterbox.
