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!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Took 10 years out to be a SAHM and relied completely on DH salary during that time. We are a team and work together. I have no intention of trying to be financially independent outside of that.

breastfed until they were 4 yrs old.

Perfectly happy for friends to randomly appear on the doorstep looking for a cuppa

Some of the MIL threads on here are absolutely insane. It's amazing what people on here will pick a fight about. I remember a poster who was FURIOUS that her MIL expected to be "hosted" at the OPs house i.e be made the occasional cup of tea and only wanted to interact with her grandchildren and wasn't prepared to do the OPs laundry or dishes for her.

Anyway I love my in-laws and my MIL! I'll happily text them, invite them over and I even got my MIL a mothers day card because I was getting my mum one at the same time. I don't think by doing this that my husband is leaving the "mental load" all to me. He speaks to them just as much. But we're a family and they are my children's grandparents.

I had visitors over as soon as my babies were born. I was more than happy for anyone to hold them. I didn't set rules for anyone nor did I expect them to be doing housework or cooking when they came over.

I just weaned my babies. I didn't get caught up in any sort of theory, philosophy or label. Sometimes they had finger food, sometimes puree and sometimes both at the same time. They even had pouches a few times a week. I didn't think spoon feeding was the work of the devil and that there would be some catastrophic impact on their development or jaw muscles if me or someone else spoon fed them.

I buy supermarket bread. I don't own a breadmaker and have absolutely zero intention of ever making my own sourdough bread. Our diet at home is mainly healthy but we'll still eat frozen pizza, ready meals and chicken nuggets and I feel absolutely zero guilt over this.

My children go to nursery and both have done so since 10 months while I work. I even take days off from work while they are in nursery while I lie horizontal on a sofa watching netflix. I feel absolutely no guilt about doing this.

I've let both my children from a young age entertain themselves for stretches at a time. Not all day of course, I do read, play and sing with them! But I don't exhaust myself doing so. I don't believe every minute has to be some sort of sensory, educational experience. I don't do water tray or messy play at home. I don't own a tuff tray. And sometimes they need to come and do things me and my husband want to do or need to do.

I love having mum friends who have kids the same age. And I love my friends who don't have kids. Both being balance to my life. I like playdates, I like the fact my children get social time and I can speak to a parent too. And I love my childfree friends and spending time with them!

I use both a toilet brush and bleach. Once a week too, I'll leave the toilet brush in the toilet soaking in bleach!

The boomer hate on here is unreal. My parents are boomers. I don't hold them personally responsible for the state of the economy today or think I'm owed anything because of their ages.

I find the "boomer" hate quite sinister , and I can never work out if the posters are being goady or not. My parents are boomers but not the "rich kind" people talk about, but i have read that these boomers should just give up their social housing!

It's unreal. My in-laws are boomers and in a council property. Where are they meant to live if they give that up? A cardboard box on the street?

Yes ! preferably away from hard working families !

‘Urination purposes only’. This made me laugh!

And peanuts. 😏

Yes also smacked when very young

Got pregnant 5 weeks after meeting DH.
Had DC1 and DC2: out of wedlock.
Have arguments with DH without thinking he's abusive

😂😂😂😂😂

I moved my DH in with me after dating three weeks and we’ve now been married 30 years.

Wait what’s wrong with this?! My middle name is May too!

I don't make putting money in a savings account for my children a priority. Certainly not at this moment in time with nursery fees to be paid. They have savings account with a little money in it and I have when it's been a short month, used money from this to buy clothes or for household essentials. I find it this more important than having access to money when they are 18.

My mum and dad said they used to regularly raid our piggy banks on a skint week to get a Chinese takeaway. I've not reported them to the police for theft or taking them to a small claims court. In fact I found it amusing!

Do you say 'thank you' though?
My stepdaughter doesn't and neither do her children, or at least very rarely and it's really upsetting.
Haven't gone NC yet, but I have considered it, though there is a bigger picture.

I always send a message to someone to thank them for a present even if I said thank you to them when they gave it to me. The same if I went to someone's house for a meal, I still thank them afterwards with a message. It takes a couple of minutes to do and no stamp or trudging to the post box required.

I get the same thing back from some of my friends too, we are old though and it's just how we were brought up. 😄

Many people do that...hardly a mouth frothing issue...

One of my husband’s Aunties is called May. She called her first daughter June. So he has an Aunty May and a cousin June 🤣

My daughter has the middle name May too for sentimental reasons, she wasnt even born May! Didn't know I had made a mumsnet faux pas 😳

I had a minor collision with a motor cyclist last year and we sorted it between ourselves too.

My husband and I have separate finances, though we have a joint account for bills.

Wear a beige dress to weddings.

My mums mum had an obsession with names named after months. My mum was almost called Julie, but spelled July. Probably one step too far 😂. Neither my mum or her siblings did end up with month names in the end.

May is a lovely name though!

I think there is lots of middle name may from the late 90s early 00s so there is mumsnetters who think it is a bit "common"

The whole generation thing is ridiculous. As if you share the same views and opinions with everyone (loosely) born in the same decade as you. You share some of the same cultural references, that is all,

I wear "dated" clothes too. I knew it was a concept, give that I was considered "square" in my teens, but thought it didn't matter whether you wore fashionable clothes once you'd passed the age of about 20.

I buy quite a lot on ebay, so sometimes things have been sitting in someone's wardrobe for years before they decide to sell them.

I have loo brushes, how on earth do you clean a loo without?
