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

OP posts:
Newsenmum · 22/10/2024 19:46

Toilet brush and occasionally no pants under my pyjamas. I know, I’m very bad!

Butchyrestingface · 22/10/2024 19:47

I sometimes answer the doorbell if it rings.
I have been known to respond to shop assistants who initiate conversation.

TillyKister · 22/10/2024 19:47

I never buy picky bits

I don't have a massive salad to myself

My washing is often left out at night and darked on

I absolutely adore my MIL

I've got lots more children than the average household

I get on really well with my kids Stepmum

I have toilet brushes in all of my ensuites and bathrooms

I think I might go and find a quiet corner and hide 😂

I’ve dared to “decorate for autumn” by putting up a wreath, a classy ceramic pumpkin and loads of pumpkin spice candles.

Ooh where did you get your candles?

Min133 · 22/10/2024 19:48

We don't own our home. I'm on benefits as a carer for my disabled son. I'm about to leave my job to become a SAHM

Maddy70 · 22/10/2024 19:49

I like my mil

Newsenmum · 22/10/2024 19:49

I wash every day! And yes I do smell if I don’t.

crackofdoom · 22/10/2024 19:49

I'm poor.

saraclara · 22/10/2024 19:50

I loved my MIL
I answer the door to anyone who knocks
I have a toilet brush
At this very moment I'm sitting on the sofa, and still wearing my wearing ankle boots
Oh, and I don't shower every single day

MoonWoman69 · 22/10/2024 19:51

I don't have children.
I don't seperate clothes when I wash them.
I like it when men hold doors open for me.
I don't suffer with paranoia when DH goes out on his own, nor do I hire a PI to track his every move thereafter.
I wouldn't post an AIBU then argue with people who didn't agree with my thoughts.
If I think a post is either stupid or pointless, I'll read the OP, roll my eyes and just scroll on. (Unless it's really wound me up! 😂)
There will be more!

saraclara · 22/10/2024 19:52

I keep thinking of more.

My best friend is a bloke. And I don't (remotely) lust after him.

Newsenmum · 22/10/2024 19:47

Ooh where did you get your candles?

TK Maxx have loooads of gorgeous ones, my particular faves are a brand called DW Home and they do them there quite discounted, they have lovely strong smells 😍🎃

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 22/10/2024 19:54

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

I definitely agree with this. My mum's lovely, my sis less so.

I used to love listening to Steve Wright but wasn't fussed either way about Ken Bruce.

Fuck me. Are we not allowed to use bleach?

(for some MNetters) not a mum and child free by choice

Eat ready meals and am fat and not managing to lose weight.

toilet brush
I use a dryer even though I know hanging clothes to dry in my flat would be better for the environment.

I have a modest salary and my job is not important. I’m replaceable.
I’m sure there are more.

godmum56 · 22/10/2024 19:57

I have Alexa all round the house, didn't vote labour, wear skinny jeans and ......I am FAT and don't care

GiddyRobin · 22/10/2024 19:58

Oooh, a few more.

I have tattoos! A half sleeve on my lower right arm (of which I have more planned), of black botanicals designed by my DH. Crows and bats on my leg.

I have a nose piercing and four piercings in one ear. In spite of this I'm in a very profession role.

Haven't worn a bra since I was 19.

Breastfed both kids until 3 and 4, and bedshared when they were babies.

Don't own an iron. Or I might, but good luck finding it.

I'm a huge romantic sap and so is my DH. We kiss in public. 😲
