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!🤣🤣🤣🤣

My key sits in the front door when I'm at home (all rooms are on the same floor - I can see the front door from my bed!).
I have tattoos.
I used to smoke weed a LOT and I loved it - I'm seriously considering starting again when I retire (gave up when I fell pregnant).
I'm a single mum.
I own a large breed dog.
My grammar sucks.
I had a FWB situation and would 100% do it again if I found the right guy who was up for it, it worked really well.
And - according to a recent thread most MNers don't - but I get turned on by the image of an erect penis😂

I’d like a thread about what we’d like to do, that MN doesn’t approve of. Mine would all be either illegal, immoral or fattening and, preferably, all three together.

I take my dog everywhere and I talk to him in a silly voice.
I dye my own hair using lightening spray.
I'm quite money-grabbing (because I'm disabled and have no choice).
Oh I've recently started shopping at Shein (after years of charity shops and Vinted and judging people who used Shein). It's brilliant!!
I armchair diagnose people with autism and personality disorders and consider myself better than a lot of general healthcare professionals.
I can also work out people's Myers Briggs type (although not everyone fits neatly into a group, most people do).
I very strongly judge people striding earnestly around wearing leggings and white socks pulled halfway up their legs.

There's more than one of us? 😅

We have four kids. All under 6.

We claim UC and other benefits and have some savings. Husband works full time.

We also bought 2 new build houses (not at the same time 😂) while on benefits.

I got diagnosed with ADHD as a full blown adult and take meds for it.

I'm a SAHM but the 2 youngest go to nursery 2/3 days a week.

I hoover every day and mop every second day or more. I try keep my house very clean and tidy and don't "lower my standards" just because I have young kids. Note, I don't judge people who do this. I just have anxiety and ADHD and a messy house on top of all the noise and chaos of my children hurts my brain 😂

I expect my husband to do 50/50 childcare and housework when he isn't at work.

I also take nothing to do with managing his diary or buying his family gifts etc. Unless I'm feeling nice.

I message and call him when he is at work. He does the same in return so I assume he likes speaking to me.

We have gone on holiday several times without our children. They have also had sleepovers at grandparents house since they were babies.

I shower, get dressed, put on light makeup and do my hair every day even if I'm not going anywhere and did so even with newborns. I hate "pyjama days".

I didn't do baby led weaning. My children eat basically anything and don't have any texture or sensory issues with food.

I don't just let my parents do whatever they want when they provide childcare for me if I'm unhappy with certain issues particularly matters of safety (car seats, safe sleep, food etc) and will make them aware. On that note my children also extended rear face in the car.

I plan to provide as much help and childcare as I can for my children if they decide to have their own children in future. I believe that having children means that by default you accept that you may very well have grandchildren one day and the support you give your own doesn't stop when they become an adult. Also my own parents have modelled this in a way to me that I hope to be able to continue. I'm very grateful for everything they do for us. Even if I do whinge on about safety 😂

I love Home Bargains.

I have my heating on at a steady 21.5 degrees for more than half the year. Although I do turn it to 19 overnight.

Me three. I have made stock from a chicken. Wouldn’t bother again.

Hung onto men who didn't deserve me way too long.
In the past cared too much about how others viewed me.

We have bonfires

Buy snacks and Diet Coke
kids drink squash and eat yoghurts/ff with sugar, small chocolate biscuit bars, cereal bars etc - total fail to give water, fruit, veg, dried fruit, unsalted nuts etc etc
buy jars of tomato pasta sauce
Can’t seem to persuade myself or anyone else to enjoy quinoa, overnight oats, brown rice , kale
basically I give in and get what the kids will accept and eat

Refreshing thread! I'm 'Guilty' of:
Loo Brushes & bleach
Leaving washing out to get darked on
Being at times annoyed/fed up & exasperated with MIL but never went NC and miss her a surprising amount now that she's no longer with us
Love my DIL and feel protective towards her
Joint finances with DH, now totally reliant on his salary since I gave up work to be a carer, no pension to speak of
More than 2 children, SUV vehicles in past (which I loved driving)
Referred to DH as hubby and holidays as hols which seems to be HATED on MN
Quite like a feature wall here and there, also occasional wall decs of slogans (but not LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE)
Expect family members to make an effort for birthday's,Christmas, Mother's Day etc as I do the same for them/their's. Enjoy being spoiled and spoiling others on these occasions. Always bought all gifts, cards and did wrapping for DH's parents when they were alive without feeling like I was being burdened or expected to do so
Dogs that sleep on the bed
Read an MN thread that I disagreed with but been able to scroll on/ignore recognising that posters are entitled to their opinions even if they are wrong and I am to mine so not commented when it will just inflame a situation
There's plenty more that I have forgotten/can't think of right now

Indomie instant noodles are bloody delicious. Ultra processed, MSG filled bowls of bliss.
I don’t eat them often now but they were 40p in the campus shop when I was a student and left me with enough for alcohol on nights out. I will always associate them with joy.

A normal person:)

Little bit of ram raiding

I will have a glass of wine or two if I’m solo parenting a toddler and I don’t worry about having to drive to hospital as an emergency.

we don’t operate on a ‘all money is family money’ policy. I work bloody hard for my bonuses, I’m spending it on me.

I have a dog that sleeps inside
I shop on Temu or Shein
I get on well with my MIL
I gave my son and my daughter diminutive names

Me too.

Kept food shopping that was accidentally delivered to me rather than calling up Sainsbury’s and confessing. It tasted so much delicious than when I paid for it. Like when someone else makes a bed for you. I’d highly recommend it.

Ok and waits for the screams
1/ 19 tattoo's, with more to come (They are NOT skulls, and snakes 🤣 though there are 3 flags among them, and not a GB/English either. Greek, our spiritual home, Welsh for my late husband who is Welsh and my pride and joy I love showing off on the beach and peeing certain people off over. It is my pride and joy, the lady in blue, flying the EU flag 🇪🇺😉🇪🇺

2/ Piercings: you can see where I had 6 each side in my young punk days. I still wear 3 or 4, including helix type, and a eyebrow piercing

3/ I'm 23 years sober, and in 12 step recovery

4/ I had an affluent childhood which was extremely dysfunctional, covered in secrets, lies, violence and so on. Recreated as an adult. Fled domestic abuse with my 4 youngsters. Went through the whole system of this country.

5/. Live in social housing, disabled though mobile, serge and help others through my lived experience

6/ I've gone back to my roots now I'm older, meaning my style is punk/goth classic boho, long mane of hair in copper, I don't look or act my age

8/ Shock horrors even though I don't fit no box (They can shove the box up there ) all my 4 youngsters are happily married/getting married, all been through uni, all got excellent jobs and good futures, and I'm nana to 5 of them

9/ I have a toilet brush, I'm an ex smoker who stopped through vaping

10/ I'm a Harry and Meghan supporter, I would like the RF abolished

11/ I'm a Labour supporter, I think Labour are doing a decent job considering what they have taken over. Yes I know they made mistakes. Who hasn't . I'm a rejoiner and activist for it. I'm a woke leftie as we are called

12/ I'm in with all the tech etc and I'm not one of those horrible MiL. I adore my 2 DiLs and we have good relationships

14/ Yup been there with benefits

15/ I was bought up in a Tory blue family. The last time I vote Tory was 2010. I loathe and despise everything about them

16/ I bottle fed all my children

17/ My youngsters wonder what I'll do next 🤣🤣🤣

18/ Yeah I'm pretty would as well as traditional. I'm sure most of them have sent sections into meltdowns 😳😏😉

That do you, or would you like more? 🤣 I'm sure I can find them

I was a student in Liverpool (Catharine Street) '91 to '94. The corner shop sold these packs of instant noodles with a little sachet of flavouring; I've no idea what make they were, the packaging was white with multi coloured stripes. I practically lived off them.

Incidentally, that was the same shop where I first saw plantains these big, green unripe bananas, and wondered why anyone would want to eat those. 😕 😳 😅

I use fabric softener, have a toilet brush, my home is frequently messy, I rent my home, and I wear sheer nude tights

I have large bathroom tiles, and I love them

Supported trans people.

We are a shoes on house. None of my friends or relatives would dream of asking adults to take their shoes off in their houses either. We’re not rolling around on the floor so why not keep your shoes on? I trust adults (and even children) to use a door mat properly anyway.

I haven’t lived my life worrying about what I earn, or my work status is in case my husband leaves me. We both have worked at jobs we’ve really enjoyed doing rather than obsessing about income. One of us has earned substantially more than the other over this time.

Same! Don’t say it out loud though on here 😬

I didn’t realise toilet brushes and bleach are controversial.

I wear clothes I like and don’t care if they are “dated”. To be frank it never occurred to me that was a concept until I read it on here.

I guess that’s the least of my sins though :-)
