I always find this fascinating.

AI holidays
Period features
SUVs
Buying new baby clothes/decorating a nursery.

What else?

Having sex before the third date, you'll never snag a man that way. What do you mean you just like having sex, everyone knows women don't 😆

Anyone who "lets" their male partner be friends with another woman

Stock cubes, apparently 🙄

Oh yes just seen that thread! But at the same time you must not throw any food away. All old veg should be whizzed up into a soup.

I wish I’d known that before I threw out mouldy remnant of a cucumber that had pissed all over my salad drawer.

I find MN snobby towards young mums or them that have had a baby at a young age.
Not all of us want a baby at 45 or 50.

Taking issue with people who use cheap Chinese websites that use slave labour is not an issue of snobbery. It’s an issue of moral conscience.

Age gap relationships. There is some formula they use. By rights my DH should have handed himself in to the police years ago.

Women who don’t keep their husband’s balls in their handbag.

I'm not sure it's snobby but people have spoken down to me for having children with someone in the military and not moving around with him.

Parenting, kids must never be heard and you must never let your child watch a table or the tv

To be fair I'd worry about my child if they sat for hours watching a table 🤣

No this is the only one disagree with. Most MNetters are feminists.

All the others yes - and that’s why I know I’ve found my place on MN

MissAtomicBomb1 · 18/01/2025 23:12

Lol at those who have rushed on to defend their dislike of AI holidays. Must set ourselves apart from 'the brits abroad types' 😂

I'll add formula feeding and dummies.

Well you accept they need to be massive yes?
And you cannot have Chicken and Egg on your Massive Salad ( Too much protein or Mother&Child or something )

I just spent a lonnnnfg time wondering what an Artificial Intelligence Holiday was (“hmm perhaps It means I can pretend I’m in the Maldives from the ‘comfort’ of my bloody freezing Yorkshire cottage!?”)
it’s just clicked you mean All Inclusive 🙃

Jesus, you should read some of the advice on the dating threads. There's definitely a portal to Tradwife Central round there somewhere...

Having a TV, especially if it’s big and wall mounted.
Not having physical books, in a book case.

Having too few children. Having too many. 2 is the only acceptable number.

Pregnancy announcements (I agree with this one, so common.)
