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?

The friend is irrelevant. Opening the front door at all is an outrage. I hope you’re kicking that DC (and any others) out the very second they turn 18.

TulipCat · 08/07/2025 23:37

I have teenage DC. I don't make them do their own laundry and am not remotely worried about their ability to figure out how to use a washing machine once they leave home.

I have trans friends and don’t believe they are “mentally unwell”.
I leave my washing out overnight.
I leave my front door unlocked all day.

I shouldn't be here really

I had a little buffet for my sprogs birthday bought from Iceland

I've got 3 tattoos

Acrylic nails and bright copper hair...and am 68

I don't feel like leaving the fucker or going through his phone if he comes in an hour late from the pub

I'm a huuuuge size 12

My queen.

I quite like a child free wedding. In fact, even if my kids are invited, I don’t take them.

SnowFrogJelly · 09/07/2025 00:41

I don’t shower 3 times a day Shock

PersianKittens · 09/07/2025 00:53

I go on holiday without my kids
i have tattoos
i have Botox
I have designer handbags with their logo on them
I feed the leftover chicken to my cat
I answer my door if someone rings the doorbell
and oh my god, brace yourselves for this bombshell…..
I don’t wash my towels every 30 seconds!

I don't like dogs so I regularly visit my local dog friendly cafe.
It is full of well behaved dogs spreading diseases.
I dread to think how many people have died as a result.

moanyhole · 09/07/2025 01:13

Hang clothes overnight to get parked on.
Make the tradesman dinner/lunch when he's here.
One chicken gives 2-3 meals only. The dog gets the leg meat and the rest.
I'm a hugger

DBD1975 · 09/07/2025 01:14

I wear the same pyjamas to bed more than once.

DBD1975 · 09/07/2025 01:15

I come from the 1950's and I think sex should be banned.

I'm an American. And I'm old.

Shall I show myself out?

DiaryofaProvincialLady · 09/07/2025 01:42

I used "bought" and "brought" correctly (as always)

DiaryofaProvincialLady · 09/07/2025 01:49

I don't assume that every contrary arsehole I meet is undiagnosed ASD.

I don't like chicken 😐

I love it

Frostiesflakes · 09/07/2025 02:11

I like and have lovely neighbours
I sleep naked
I like and love my husband
I don’t mind builders using my toilet and i make them constant cups of tea

the only thing I do is I rarely answer my door

ilovesooty · 09/07/2025 02:19

My next door neighbour said hello to me and we had a conversation. I like the neighbours on both sides.

And what about the spiders rubbing their penises on your clothes… oooh, shudder 😱

Chickensky · 09/07/2025 02:30

Heard someone snap but I personally didn't fart. So know the "snapped and farted tail", there are others.. But my fave is the swimming costume mishap.I won't quote but it is absolutely hilarious. I think it's deleted now. But I could well imagine myself and (my partner so occupied / sleep deprived). The image of him in the pool, and trying to convey the problem. I don't t care if that was made up or not but it made so much sense and made me laugh.
