What’s something that Mumsnet has taught you?

For me, it’s to leave the washing machine slightly ajar when you’ve finished using it. Game changing - never smells now!

Ducks in a row
Gifts have ribbons and not strings
CFs
LTB
Too many women on MN are SAHM and are not married and live in the partners home
You can hull strawberries with a straw
My family all appear to be narcissists - so that probably makes me one too

@Suisse bar of old fashioned soap instead of shower gel for perimenopausal/puberty armpit BO was an absolute game changer in my household too.

That calling Irish people IRA supporters, Hamas supporters and antisemites is fine and doesn’t break talk guidelines.

That everyone should leave his useless ass and get a divorce immediately!

Not to pay too much attention to what other people think.

Anything you do, someone is going to get offended.

You might as well think sod it, and do as you please.

There are a lot of small minded people in the world. More than I I imagined.

To stop being a people-pleaser (mostly!)

That you never know what someone might be dealing with in their lives and you can’t make judgements from a snapshot, so give people the benefit of the doubt and be kind.

That there are all sorts of different people in this world whose likes and dislikes are diametrically opposite to each other, but we can all still get along despite that!

That I suffer from martyr complex - especially around my mum.

That a lot of posters reply to what they think they just read, rather than what is actually written, and will still argue the toss for all its worth, even when their misconception is pointed out to them.

My entire laundry system, based on a great post by some brilliant person who used to work for Unilever or some such.

Also, how to make Yorkshire puddings.

Keep working if you possibly can and don't be SAHM if not married.
Don't take on all the mental load/housework on maternity leave.

You can freeze cheese.
Toast tongs.
Radical feminism.

How very lucky I am to have a loving, caring and generous husband who I know loves me very much. Not all women are so fortunate, as I read in many posts here, so I am thankful.

So now it's your turn to share it! Please

How to spot the many exaggerations and mistruths spoken by those involved in MLMs and the lengths they’ll go to try and draw others in.

So many and from different sections

Relationships
So many total arseholes out there- kind of put things in perspective for me

Elderly
Now know everything there is to know about how the care system works ( or doesn't) POA system, inheritance tax, deprivation of assets

Property
How fiddly the system is now compared to the past if buying - lots of it I think to tick boxes and prevent suuing

Health
Realising that so many people have underlying illness/conditions /disorders that you simply 'can't see'

Oh, really?
What's the answer, Norman?
Have your privacy breached in order not to hurt someone's feelings?
One thing I learned is if you don't put yourself first, nobody else would do it for you.
The happily trample over you to serve their little lives!

That I'm not learning enough on here to warrant the time I've spent reading on here (as a form of procrastination). Time to move on 😬
