Things Mumsnet is consistently snobby about..

[Thedarkmode]

I always find this fascinating.

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

What else?

Prey drive is turbo sharp as we live in the country surrounded by bunnies. He's off like a rocket if he see's any cats on farm. I agree it wouldn't be fair to a cat! Saying that, life is tough, I think I'm one and done, and no more pets! Hahah

Define "snobby."

You mean having standards and not leading life to the absolute lowest common denominator??

Amazed toilet brushes only got one shout.
Not changing bed sheets after boil washing 3 times a week.
Sleeping knkckerless
Not showering twice a day

Oh well, I like it.

London......there's a post slagging it off at least once at week, it's tiresome.

Tattoos. Expressing an extreme dislike of them is clearly meant to show how refined, and cultured the poster is, when to me it is quite the reverse. I'm always surprised how close minded and ignorant mn can be about the art form.

American/Americans/“Americanisms”

Tracksuits

Plastic Surgery/fillers

Makeup

high buns/ponytails

whats “trendy”

Forgot about toilet brushes!
Also towel washing.

Hot tubs
neighbours who dare to make noise and equally, neighbours who complain about noise
healthy displays of masculinity
marijuana smoking

I am amazed no one has mentioned cruises,
an all inclusive cruise , cannot abide the thought !
full of tracksuits , trainers and tattoos no doubt !

I find the anger directed to those that make a chicken last strange. We roast a chicken and get 4 meals out of it (there is three of us, one being a toddler).

Also the hatred for ‘flowery’ names (my child has one). They are actually upper class. My friends all have names like Florence, Lettice, Georgiana etc.

Social housing
The North
Poor people
Schools
Tattoos
Caravan holidays
Leggings
TVs in bedrooms
Big TVs in the living room
Corner sofas
Grey decor
Ready meals
McDonalds and Greggs
Asda

Making friends at the school gate. The preferred position is to be far too busy with your important job put In your head phones and to glare at the other mothers who are all pathetic coffee morning attending drama queens who just happened to have sex when you did. In reality I met some of my best friends there!

It's just as tiresome to read posts from Londoners who think that anywhere outside of the M25 is a cultural desert.

The snobbery I read on here about northerners is breathtakingly ignorant. You can't blame them for being defensive.

Spelling and grammar. Once you see it you can't unsee it, but the responses a post gets when the poster is articulate and doesn't make any noticeable errors compared to one with errors is wild.

The people who correct quite serious posts are the worst.

• My husband pushed me down the stairs last night I'm worried the kids could have seen.
• Actually it's could have

There's a full multitude of reasons why people make errors and I just think the correctors look like absolute dicks who've never met a person with a regional dialect, an EAL speaker or a person with a learning difficulty.

I've noticed this too. Most mumsnet users have really good grammar compared to other sites like Facebook etc but the flip side is some are SO pedantic about it.

I also hate seeing posters who post about serious issues getting shitty responses that you know they wouldn't get if their grammar was perfect

I don’t think I have ever seen a thread where Londoners criticise other areas to be fair many the other way round. When I moved to London in my twenties I was surprised how socially acceptable it was for people to slag off London to my face but it would have been extremely rude and unacceptable for me to say the same things about the city I was moving from. Only works one way.

I've done trailing spouse and Unaccompanied, both are equally looked down upon and judged

Simply having a husband in the Forces is judged (or police)... apparently they are all murderous, cheating potential rapists.

Ham.

It's poison, apparently.

Yes. As a dyslexic (who thanks their lucky stars for spell check but things can sometimes slip through the net) having a poster sometimes make their only contribution to a thread a pick apart of my spelling really doesn't make me feel great.
