The Mumsnet Code

[ChippySauce]

Friend popped around earlier unexpectedly, without giving me 3 weeks warning 😮

AND DC11 let them in 😱

What is the world coming to I ask you!
Does nobody adhere to “The Mumsnet Code” anymore?
Whatever next, will we be advising each other to Keep The Bastard?!

I despair, I really do…

What violations of TMC has occurred in your life recently?

I'm still hungry after a MASSIVE salad.

I don’t drive and have no interest in learning.

I like my friends.

I chat to my neighbours and people I meet when I’m walking the dogs without harbouring a suspicion that they might be serial killers.

I didn’t rescue my dogs.

I quite like traditional gender roles.

I loathe Birkenstocks and all of the other orthopaedic looking footwear MN posters allegedly “rock”.

I don’t require to be carted off to A&E at the mere whiff of fabric softener.

If millions took the park & ride, it would make a difference.

The environment is one of the few things I DO care very much about. We only have one planet. There is no Plan(et) B.

You missed out “crass”. Never seen it anywhere but mumsnet.

Just tell me about your parking problem, I don't need to see a fucking diagram

I don't snort so loudly that I wake my sleeping baby.

My eyes roll out the back of my head at the letters for everything.....DS, is that your son or your sister? Can't you just type Son it's only one more fucking letter?

I was a size 12 in 1980 and am a size 12 now. As I'm the sane weight and measurements I don't subscribe to the mantra that a size 8 years ago is actually a huge size 18.

I should really post elsewhere 🤣

Being size 16 doesn't necessarily mean you're not fat.

Yes this is me.

I do get really jealous when my mum gives my kids sweets tho.. especially since when I help myself to the sweets she still tells me off!!

I went for a walk in a local woods today and saw two farm workers. Not only did I not shake and scream when they spoke to me, I actually initiated the conversation, despite the rather rough accents they had. I understood them also.

I've never been so shocked by a post that I've had to ask what I've just read. Generally I find I understand posts fine first time round.

And I don't give a damn about reading and running. No-one will ever know if I do, after all.

Nor do I lose my shit about things. My bowel control is pretty good, really.

I have never spat out my coffee laughing at a post. Nor have I returned from a social interaction shaking and sobbing.

I have never snorted tea laughing at mn
have never sicked a little in my mouth at mn
i don’t have a tinkly laugh

Have you ever head tilted?

Ha! Unfortunately I look like Wednesday Adam’s with a rictus grin

I cooked the chicken. We ate the chicken. In one meal.

You gluttonous beasts. How very could you?
that magic chicken can feed 9 people for 6 days
risotto,soup,wraps burritos curry cannoli and serve with Huuuuuge salad and veggies

Only 6 days? You gannets!

Well yes, we did do a pop up magic chicken van and serve the neighbourhood but I concede their was gluttony and fork to mouth action.

I didn't get my driving license

Oh. Thats a mumsnet no no

I know 😅
I even got the bus!

I am very proud of my luxuriant public hair.

My manager does every day I'd love to punch her in the face when she does. Never actually would of course.

Inspired by a thread I've just seen, despite the fact that I'm 56, fat and ugly, I have never regarded myself as "invisible". I have friends and family who love, notice and listen to me. I often chat to strangers when I'm out and about

I'm not entirely sure what it means, but as far as I can tell, it tends to be used by women who moaned about being wolf whistled and objectified by men when younger, but then get upset when it stops. 🙄
