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 made loads of friends at the school gate and we are still friends now though our kids have all left school and mostly aren’t still friends with each other.

Indeed, and I never felt that other groups of school mums who were friends that didn't include me were a "clique".

Jesus Christ, next you'll be popping to M&S without recommendations 😱

Kickers or Knickers?

You should leave or, better still, get into an argument with 15 other posters and flounce. Absolute disgrace! Just be gone by midday.

Someone gave me a present without the receipt inside. Repulsive!

Do you mean the shoes? 😎

Shoes in bed!

Spelling “clique” correctly is surely a violation of the Mumsnet Code!

I never say "gah"

I leave my bra off in hot weather and don’t care if my nipples show.

l have regular Hollywood waxes.

l can explain most things without the need to provide a diagram.

l left washing out last night.

I bought a new build.

Just something to make you laugh 😂 @StarlightLady we call Hollywood waxes 'the chicken' in beauty industry circles.

I just hope you’re all using ‘critical thinking’. And if you don’t agree with me, then clearly you’re not.

WELL.
I go to bed (clean bedding, changed everyday of course) by myself, the H (no ‘D’ in this household) is obviously in the spare room, and what the heck do I wake up to.
Pandemonium, that’s what.
I hope you’re all happy now.
I have reported my own thread so the esteemed MNHQ < tugs forelock >
can deal with this because I wash my hands of you.

I can’t remember the last time I changed my bed linen.
I can look at a woman with blue/pink/ green hair and admire them without judging them for being neurotic divers, LGBTQ or lefty.

So l score a point for making chicken last a month, but lose one for opting to choose to remove my body hair.

Maybe l’ll get parole? 🤭

Live in Social Housing

They I've had mobile phones since 11
I have only just learnt to drive at 44.

I'm sure there are loads more.
Maybe I don't belong on here 🤣

I like some of the school mums and have made lots of mum friends. I say hello and chat and don’t put my head down and run in and out.
I iron. In fact I do everyone’s ironing including the teens.
I went and helped dd move out of her student house and helped them clean. Apparently she will never be able to hold a cloth or work a hoover because I did this.
Sometimes if the teens have a lot on at school or are having a crap time I muck out their rooms for them without shouting about plates and cups.
We always have sweet treats and crisps in the house.

I have no pubes, get Botox and filler despite it never ever looking good and everyone can always tell.

I have a full licence but don’t drive.
I do all the cooking at home but don’t think my DH is a lazy wastrel or worth LTB for.
I wash the bedding and the towels on alternate weeks.
I hang my washing up outside the second it goes above 0 degrees and I don’t care if it’s rained on.
I actually like my neighbours on one side and have never spoken to the ones on the other.
I wish I could afford to be a SAHM.
We have takeout every week.
I don’t ever cook a Sunday chicken but on the once or twice a year I buy a Morrisons rotisserie one, it lasts DH and I one night.
A Ben and Jerry’s tub does not last two adults and a grown teenager two weeks in our household, it lasts one of us usually one night…maybe two.
DH and I sleep most nights in separate beds and have good quality sleep because of it.

I’m considering exiling myself from MN - I’m not sure I’m redeemable.

EDIT: Oh, and I have no pubes either. Thanks for reminding me pp!

I like all my neighbours. We have a group chat and take out each other’s bins and water the plants when anyone is on holiday.

I don’t believe in the class system, working/middle etc.

I’m not bothered about trans folk.

I always answer the door.

I absolutely adore my mother in law.

Any sign of sun, and I’m in my back garden, drinking wine and enjoying my wind chime.

I am not a mother, and never will be now as I am old and barren…

…should I just leave now…?

I live in leggings and Crocs

I would never (threaten to) kick my kids out as a punishment

I like to lick the lid of my yoghurt pot

I poo in my toilet

I accept people from all walks of life and don’t judge their situations

I don’t police my kid’s screen time, but I do tell them it’s time to take a break if they start shouting at their game

I like my husband, I would never LTB

ETA: I bloody love a cheeky maccies. Give me all the nuggets.

I suggested to someone that using "would of" isn't a great way to write.
