For me, it’s having my TV mounted to our chimney breast. I know that it’s a faux pas on here 😏

Aww, with pleasure! They're 6 months old now, so you can't get them in the same place at the same time, but here's when I could!

It's not about "looking like a bride". White and cream are the bride's privilege. Fine if you want to wear that, but there are loads of other colours and patterns to wear and it's just a bit more considerate. However, it sounds as if she was ok, but I'd always check, out of courtesy.

Indeed there is, however, I liked that one! it was 20 years ago, happily, we’ve all been friends for many years and nobody needed to check the brides privilege! She was just happy we were all there, kicking up our heels at her wedding…

What is wrong with toilet brushes??

I refuse to hate my body and put dieting above everything else in my life even though I am fat.

RustyandDusty · 23/10/2024 17:59

Moving on when I'm a single parent and not staying single forever from 31

GroovyChick87 · 23/10/2024 18:10

I was a single mum to 3 children and met my husband while one of them was a baby. I do the housework in our house while he works. I claim benefits. I let my kids have sweets and crisps. Shoot me.

Eating 'picky bits'.

I work very full time, went back to work st six months both times, and love it.

Both DP and I see our friends alone, some of those friends are the opposite sex.

Arraminta · 23/10/2024 18:20

I happily pack for DH.
I drive a fuck-off sized Range Rover.
I didn't bother breast feeding DD2.
I love an uber-luxe, all inclusive holiday.
I use the tumble drier all the time.
I never cook from scratch.
I bung bleach down every loo.
I hate wine.
I prefer instant coffee.
I merrily splurge on our DDs at Christmas.
I judge poor table manners and poor SPAG.

I have also worn cream to weddings. Not my own though.

I think maternity leave is too long and the number one reason women become the default parent. Then women either end up not doing as well in their career as they could get stitched up doing it all, or more likely both.

RampantIvy · 23/10/2024 18:52

I don't put every random symptom down to menopause.
I talk to strangers.
I'm nice to staff in retail and hospitality.
If want something I politely ask for it
I rarely come across people who are rude to me. If they are I usually let it go by thinking they are probably having a bad day.

Were we separated at birth @ForPearlViper?
I do all of those. I can't help but think that people who always come across rude staff aren't polite to them in the first place.

RustyandDusty · 23/10/2024 19:02

I didn't even try to breastfeed
My kid is not 90th centile
I'm not arsed what my ex does and don't feel the need to police him.

I like a drink
Have a toilet brush
Do not earn 6 figures

RustyandDusty · 23/10/2024 19:09

Also I don't hate myself

I suggest couples counselling when LTB has been declared.

LTB gets wheeled out if he puts a knife in the fork drawer!

I can't stand the humblebragging that is often used to declare high earnings - the "I earn £150k a year and don't have any disposable income!" posts.

I earn about one seventh of that, but can still afford plenty of fun stuff.

tuvamoodyson · 23/10/2024 19:31

I know when I’ve been offended (I rarely feel offended!) I also know when something would be unreasonable for me for me do, so, I don’t 🤷‍♀️ and I don’t need to put it before a committee to validate it.

@Netcam They put their hands in the bog!

Bare hands? Or a hand-held toilet brush equivalent?

Wet loo roll then a cloth that gets soaked in bleach. Won't have a toilet brush, the sight of them makes me heave.
