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!🤣🤣🤣🤣

We all fart in front of one another without making a song and dance about it being disrespectful.

We also don’t shut the toilet door, ever.

All share the same towels and have never come down with leprosy.

I don’t place much importance on university.

Millions and millions of other things.

Rarely lock my house, also I answer the phone and the door to whomever it may be!!

I like Keir Starmer and think he's doing a good job. I'm glad that they increased benefits and pensions.

I didn't weep for days on end when I discovered I was having a boy. I love my son, he's not less than my daughter.

Yes I am guilty of this crime as well 😂My now adult children have commented over the years how grateful they were that they were not forced into sitting around a table,eating food they disliked and having to suffer an inquisition about their day !
They all are capable of making fantastic,hilarious conversation and which knife and fork to use !

@ainsleysanob I read that as Anisley's knob! Got quite excited.

Have two adult sons living with me and don't charge them a penny. Also do their washing and cooking, even packed lunches for work 😌 (sorry do cook from scratch though😔)
I cook different meals regularly as we all have different tastes (and always have done even when they were children as why should anybody eat something they dislike😖).
Never regulated their screen time but all three got great grades at school and have turned into perfectly acceptable adult humans with good jobs🤷‍♀️

Oh gosh where to start 😂

Opened a bottle of wine at 4pm whilst WFH on a sunny day

Allowed my PIL (and other visitors) to turn up unannounced and been happy to see them.

Had arguments with DH and not "LTB" as I fully accept that nobody is perfect all of the time and we all have bad days where we behave like dicks.

Left tradesmen in the house whilst I've gone shopping or to the gym.

Leave the back door open most days

Eaten bacon and sausage butties instead of overnight oats or yoghurt and nuts.

Buy coffee on my way into work as I don't have a coffee machine at home and I hate the instant stuff at work.

Have sex with DH regularly and don't mind in the slightest if he wakes me up in the morning touching me or pressed up against me.

I fart when and where I need to and find it very funny when other people do.
My husband and I have had many explosive rows over the years and called each other names but it’s all blown over by the next day.

I use a toilet brush.
I liked my mother in law when she was still alive and loved my parents dearly, whatever their faults - I would never have gone no contact with them.
I always answer my front door and telephone, and I take parcels in for my neighbours.
I don’t meal plan, and I don’t batch cook.
I don’t think my friends are alcohlics if they have more than two glasses of wine a day.
I brought up my daughter with strict boundaries and didn’t believe in gentle parenting. She went to state schools. I was a stay at home mum for 7 years and didnt expect my husband to come home and do housework.
I married my husband when I was 21 - I took my marriage vows seriously and believed that marriage is for life and needs a lot of work, and I took my husband’s name.
I love carry on films and other old programmes from the 60s, 70s, and 80s and don’t care how politically incorrect they are.
I have never aren’t a Mumsnet six figure salary and have never had savings.

I’ve had a happy life.

I smoke hahaha

I’m going to rely on my husband so I can become a SAHM when my second child arrives.

• I hate the nursery system, kids are always sick and I don’t believe it’s best for them in the very early years. I think it’s bullshit fed to women to force us back into the workplace as soon as possible.
• I hated going back to work. It didn’t give me an identity, I’ve cried most mornings and been despondent every time I leave my first child. I prefer my non working days with my child even if it’s far harder.
• In contrast, I don’t believe many men feel any guilt nor have the same feeling of being torn from leaving small children for work like most women. I don’t think this makes them bad dads.
• I want to look after my own kids, I’m sick of having to hide that opinion for fear of upsetting other women or being scared to death about finances or work.
• I don’t need another identity but mum right now as work means nothing to me (even with a ‘good’ career I used to care about).

I chose to have children with him so I have to have blind faith and trust in order to be happy and stay at home as I wish for a few years.

• Toilet brush all the way. How do people actually clean the bog without one?
• I don't 'clean my own house' (except the bog)
• I don't change my bra or PJs daily.
• I like wearing clothes that reveal a hint of leg or cleavage (though not both at once) and as a happily married woman I couldn't give a stuff about the 'male gaze'.
• I have a nose piercing.
• I like heels (although these days my feet don't, unfortunately.)
• Cannot understand the fuss about 'outdoor clothes on the bed'.
• Not very interested in food and don't really understand the modern froth over restaurants, dinner parties etc.
• Love my friends but prefer advance warning of visits. (I think this is actually what MN disapproves of, as opposed to not minding impromptu drop-ins. In fact, I've spotted a couple of posts on this very thread that lend weight to my theory.)
• When I got married I cared about the fact that our friends and family had come to celebrate with us, not whether anyone was in pale clothing or anything likely to 'upstage' me.
• Wouldn't dream of telling a visitor to take their shoes off in my house.

Thought of another one…have never used the word BOUNDARIES unless talking about land boundaries! Hate that word with a passion when used in the MN context.

Had more than 2 dc and claimed UC for childcare element. I should be very ashamed 🤭

So many things
Have claimed benefits in the past.
I am currently a SAHM.
Like going on holiday to Disney world.
Have 3 children.
Don't own our home.
Feed my toddler the occasional fast food meal.

The list is never ending 🤣

I own a SUV.
I have a fake lawn.
I let family visit me in hospital after having babies.
I allow family to stay in my house.
I like my in laws.
I earn more than my DH.
I have loo brushes

(updated to add loo brushes)

I'm a size 16!

Oh god, I once worked at an ultra HNWI's property in central London and had to sign an NDA/instruction sheet in the security hut before entering the property. It included the rule I couldn't sit on anything (including the floor) and that I could use the toilet used by the kitchen staff but for urination purposes only. Security had to accompany me and stand outside. At their other property they provided a permanent single portaloo behind the bins for non-household staff.

I am not offended if im invited to the evening reception of a wedding. In fact I prefer it.

I dont mind if people call me 'love' 'sweetheart' 'darling' etc, it's perfectly normal where I live.

I dont get upset if the Amazon guy opens my front door and shouts ' parcel for you love' i respond appropriately with 'Thanks mate!'

I used to go on holiday when the kids were small, by myself and leave them with Dh.
I never had a uni fund for my kids. As it turns out they didn't want to go and both got an apprenticeship and then later work paid for them to do a degree.

I never gave them money to buy a house. Both were 22 when they got a mortgage At that age they are independent fully functioningadults.. I did buy some white goods for them though.

I have alcohol about once every three or four months. I'm not bothered if it's in the middle of the afternoon in summer in my garden and im by myself. I like to enjoy the moment.

I love my birthday.
I go out with ds and my lads for a meal. Me and dh go away for the weekend, I hope out for a meal with my girlfriends and also have a night out with my male friend. My birthday last two weeks and I have been doing this for decades. ( to me it's more about social connections and being around people Ilove) i

I expect a decent mothers day present and Christmas present!!

I have just spent over £5k on my hobby without mentioning to Dh beforehand. When I told him he said he was glad I treated myself.
There's loads more!

have many tattoos and more if I get the money
been married three times
have 'allowed' partner to have a loo brush
door is always open to visitors neighbours family

I spent Easter Tuesday in the range smelling all the lovely cleaning products and spending a fortune on them... it was great

Every drug you can think of bar heroin, meth and crack. Including research chems. Contrary to the MN narrative I’m actually fine now, it was just an experimental phase of my life that is now over. I don’t regret it at all. I don’t think it’s for everyone but sometimes I do see a post on here and think “yes they could use a magic mushroom trip to develop some basic empathy”. When our kids are older and have questions, DH and I intend to be totally honest with them and take a harm reduction based approach instead of trying to scare them straight.

I regret taking research chems, but that was kind of just a point in time. Now they’re illegal too most of them have died out. I don’t think anyone does them these days it was more of a legal loophole.

What is it with Boden on this site, most of the clothes, esp kids ones are hideous 😂

DH and I have yelled and sworn at each other numerous times over the last 35 years. Still crazy about each other.

Never once tried to regulate DDs' screen time. They still both got into grammar school and went to good universities.

Despite being a literature graduate, I haven't read any serious literature or classics in over 25 years. I simply don't enjoy it.

Hugely enabled DD1 to buy her first home straight out of university and will do the same for DD2. No, I don't think it makes them entitled or spoilt.

Never expect DH to check in with me or keep me updated or impose a curfew when we're apart.

I quite like my mil. I used to love play dates. I don’t think twice about giving people lifts. I don’t feel like a second class citizen because I’m not married. I have been Ms all my adult life. I enjoyed chatting at the school gate. I don’t mind taking in parcels. I think people who like true crime are deeply weird. There are others, but I can’t think of them at the moment.
