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

I’ve got a toilet brush. In each bathroom. Sometimes…I even dare to use bleach.

Nooooooo, not a toilet brush. 🤑
That's right up there with the carpet mat sets you used to get round the toilet, the seat and outside bath. 😂

HermoniePotter · 22/10/2024 19:06

I have seasonal decor and bedding.
I adored my MIL.
I was accused of having OCD because I clean my skirting boards and hoover under beds every month 😂
We have a joint bank account.
I have toilet brushes.

I hate, and avoid answering the front door unless I know someone is coming (probably because when I was home alone after school as a tween, I was told never to answer the door because it could be the bogeyman/bailiffs!)

😂

For shame 😫

😮

LondonPapa · 22/10/2024 19:07

I have HomePods in every room to control the various home automation devices I’ve got. I’ve also gone further than linked Apple Home into Home Assistant to give me even more control! My OH hates it.

GiddyRobin · 22/10/2024 19:07

I love Halloween and I take the kids to pumpkin farms (that grow actual pumpkins), and decorate my whole house with homemade garlands and all sorts.

I answer the door!

I like clutter in my house.

I love my MIL to pieces!

I frequently leave washing on the line over night and care not for spider willies.

🤣 never heard of a spider willie

ConiferBat · 22/10/2024 19:08

I'm wearing skinny jeans right now.
I took my husband's surname.
My kids eat nuggets quite often.

And.... my car has a personalised plate.

LostOnTheWayToManderley · 22/10/2024 19:01

I don’t wash my bra after every wear.

Who does? 😉

WitchesButter · 22/10/2024 19:09

My son did not get 9A*s at GCSE.....oh the shame 🍄‍🟫

tigerbear · 22/10/2024 19:09

Moved my new DP in with DD and I within 5 months of meeting, and got engaged in the same year.
Huge sin in the eyes of MN, but 6 years down the line we’re married and couldn’t be happier (inc DD)

HideTheCroissants · 22/10/2024 19:02

sooooo many!

Forgive me MN for I have sinned….

I took my husbands name. The children have my husbands name. I have a joint bank account with my husband. I was a SAHM (totally dependant on DH) until youngest DC went to secondary school. I like Pandora jewellery. I like Radley handbags. I liked my late MIL. I could live without my DC but not without my DH. I drink (not to excess but definitely more than a thimble of sherry on celebrations). There’s probably more 😂

Oooh, naughty 😮

ivykaty44 · 22/10/2024 19:11

Washing clothes after one wear 😳 that’s tooooo much laundry

Attelina · 22/10/2024 19:12

I think men are wonderful.

Pumpkittenspice · 22/10/2024 19:04

Is that a MN sin? I take extras for my lunch every time I’m at a hotel…

Oh look back at some previous threads. Some holier art thou people see it as paramount to theft. 🤣🤣🤣

RealHousewivesOfTaunton · 22/10/2024 19:13

I make people take off their shoes when they enter my home.

I occasionally describe things as chavvy.

HermoniePotter · 22/10/2024 19:14

I have a few more

We have tv’s in the kitchen, livingroom, dining room and bedrooms. A few were horrified, they’ve clearly never lived with 4 children in the house two miles away from the nearest neighbour.

We drive 4x4’s and have 4 of them.

We shower in the morning and normally bath at night, every single day. We don’t share bath water (which was suggested).

I’m a competitive under eater and have no manners as I asked a restaurant to box up a load of food I’d left.

Fizbosshoes · 22/10/2024 19:16

I have:
metro tiles
Brown leather sofas
Accent walls
No book shelves
Toilet brushes

We use the ensuite bathroom for all functions a toilet is designed for

I wash teatowels, bedding and clothes including undies together

TheLurpackYears · 22/10/2024 19:17

So many ways. I both belive that breast is best and both dc got 4 plus years of milk and conversely now fill them with any old processed food and cook with aging Teflon pans.

kiraric · 22/10/2024 19:17

I answered the door and took in a package for a neighbour and I didn't even mind

Autumnismyfavouritetimeofyear · 22/10/2024 19:18

I have estranged siblings and think it is their fault, not my parents.

StarSlinger · 22/10/2024 19:19

I don't care about UFP
I like Thorntons and Cadburys chocolate
I like getting shower sets for Christmas
