What have you done in the real world that MN disapproves of?

[Nourishinghandcream]

As per the title.... what have you done in the real word that would have Mumsnetter's frothing at the mouth?

I will start.
Someone reversed into my (parked) car and we sorted it out ourselves (without informing insurance!😲) with them paying us to get it fixed (which has now been done).
Gosh..... aren't we naughty!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Genuinely, what was it that you loved so much about it?

Felt super safe. Loved the city and the sites. Old Dubai, New Dubai. The boat tours, the marina, quad biking, desert safari, museum of the future.

Went up to Burj.

And the food was absolutely lovely in Dubai. I loved it.

Same I also enjoyed Qatar.

I've been to other ME nations as well and I liked it there. I definitely don't feel unsafe.

Let my dog piss up a lamp post.

Back at university, the dodgy area with all the drug dealers was one of the safest feeling areas around - because scared students weren't good for business.

Everything financial with my husband is joint.

I go to McDonald’s regularly and don’t have kids at home anymore to use as an excuse.

I went to John Lewis with my dog (who's also a regular at our local coffee shops).

I bought a flat, leasehold, without a garden, with an open-plan kitchen and I replaced the bathtub by a shower.

Depends..,
mate the no nos still the same as about 10 years ago?

What's so bad about having a toilet brush?

I don't have one lol but curious as to why it's a thing not to have one?haha

Split monthly bills 50-50 with my DH even though one of us earns more than the other. And think that’s fair as we chose our professions

Ooh the list is long, off the top of my head:
have tattoos.
have a dog that may piss on the pavement when out a walk.
tell my dh to fuck off when he’s getting on my tits.
won’t entertain the idea of an electric car.
don't have the door locked when I’m in.
let my dog and cats sleep on my bed.
drink more than one alcoholic beverage a year.
drive a bmw.
will eat a share bar of chocolate to myself in one go.
don’t like the strange “individual” baby names

I get up through the night and drink wine

I'm a stay at home mum...and my kids are teenagers.

I have done nothing to annoy Mother Nature (MN) but I am not keen on other people’s gardens covered in plastic “grass” or gravel etc rather than plants, but what can you do 😀

I didn’t wait a year (or several) before introducing them to my new boyfriend. My kids (tweens) would ask how I spent the weekend, I felt I had to lie to them. If I waited longer and they didn’t gel or whatever it would have been harder to walk away and more tempting to try and overlook the problems.

Drink wine or negronis or champagne whenever i want, however much i want. Its my life and life is fucking boring without it. I'm gen x and I'll die by the gen x sword. Life is for living.

Definitely use bleach. Eco friendly cleaners are shit.

I don't drive because i fucking hate it and even though I'm highly intelligent i am a shit driver and people are better with me off the roads. Husband drives and if he's not around trains and ubers are plentiful and oh so easy to use as an adult. Its amazing how many greenies shock horror at my lack of car 🤔

Live in a gorgeous flat because i cant be fucked gardening. Thats what beer gardens are for.

Let my dog sleep in our bed. She also comes out on days out with us and if we fancy going for food whilst out, we take her with us 😱

I don't rush to Boden for 'thee' must have items of the season. Their clothes are boring and old.

Swear lots. Its therapeutic and fun.

Adore my husband. He's an absolute fucking delight of a man and we have such fun together.

I’ve had an on off affair for over 15 years and we are both married

My DM used to do this all the time! 🤣 Great threads 👌

I don’t hate my MIL
I use bleach
I smoke and when I drink, I usually get drunk
I answer my door when someone knocks
I relied on my husband to build up a large enough pension pot to keep the both of us - which he is happily doing.
Sometimes, me and my husband tell each other to fuck off - in anger. And neither of us think we’re being abused.
I never minded if husband went to the pub or
on holiday with his mates - just because we had two children and I’d have to look after them alone.

I still spend a large amount on my children for Christmas. I don’t care that they are 28 and 30. And no I don’t use credit or get into debt to do it.

1. I get a universal credit top up along with my wages.
2. I've given my child a Amazon Kindle at age 4.5 🫣.
3. I never lock my front or back door even when I'm away on holiday.
4. I make workmen a cup of tea and let them use the toilet.
5. I clean with bleach

I also academically pushed my kids at school and didn't take the "softly softly" approach of "just let them be happy, school isn't everything"

Oooh, I don't disapprove, but I am interested. Would you care to elaborate?

What are people using in place of a toilet brush?! 🫣🤣

Have a donor conceived child
