Your biggest mumsnet character flaw (that causes you no problems in real life)

Having read a few threads that variously refer to peoples’ failings with organisation with them being variously late or missing in action I can never get over the ferocity of attack in response to these posts. I mean I wouldn’t understand as I am shocking and despite trying really hard I will forget things, get lost, confuse days, double book myself. And it causes me no problems whatsoever. No one thinks I think I am more important and no one sulks or ditches me.

I am a kind and loyal and helpful person so a bit of chaotic twattery is forgiven easily. I mean people organise me a bit and send me reminders sometimes but that’s it.

also never remember to offer tea and coffee and visitors just make their own or remind me and I will make a cup. Again, no one cares! What is easy in your life that mumsnet makes sound really complicated?!

I am not ambitious. I have a good enough job that pays me good enough money, I would rather prioritise my family and have a stress free life than a 3 figure salary.

How I lived my working life. No interest in promotion even though that was seen as a bad thing, did my job well for 40 years and now happily retired.

I adore my DIL.
