What habits of yours would make some Mumsnetters disapprove?

[shinebright07]

Whats your go against mumsnet rules that would make some netters frown at you for, but we dont care, some netters may be shaking with what we do.

Mine is the following.
I clean my ears with ear buds.
I fly more than 3 times ayear.
And i use many disposable items.
I also have more than 1 packet of crisp aweek.
I dont donate money to any charity.
And all home waste goes in the black bin.
I dont cook from scratch.

I don’t want a committed relationship and prefer instead to have multiple casual flings on the go

I’m childfree by choice

I live alone and intend to do so long term, yet I bought a 4 bed house

I answer my door if someone knocks

I like animals but will never get a pet

I am a high earner and sometimes mention that on threads here (when it’s relevant)

I judge performance parenting, parents who give babies screens to entertain them and parents who think the whole world is endlessly charmed by their kids

I fly multiple times a year

I eat meat

I judge women who move new boyfriends in with their young kids

if a man has an affair I blame him, not the woman he cheated with

I don’t understand women who will stay in a bad relationship rather than be single

I think women who flutter their lashes and say they couldn’t possibly drive a long journey/put out the bins/hang a picture and get their husbands to do it are pathetic

I have very little respect for people (of either sex) who voluntarily make themselves financially dependent on someone else

I have not left the bastard or given my head a wobble.

We use a tumble dryer all year round.

We take several flights a year.

We don’t charge our adult son any rent.

We replace our towels and pillows yearly.

We are enjoying the hot weather and don’t think a few hot days is anything other than a cause for celebration.

I love people dropping by unexpectedly

Me too, and guests always get to keep their shoes on.

I can’t drive
I only change my bedding about once a month
I use bleach
I wash my hair every day (and use box dye)
I don’t have or like children
I don’t like dogs

Absolutely! It’s the height of rudeness to ask people to remove their shoes

I wash tea towels with whatever needs washing next, that might include knickers, I’ve not died yet because my washing machine works.

I often leave washing out overnight.

I have a toilet brush.

I can easily drink a bottle of wine on my own, and I wouldn’t have a hangover the next day.

I vape. And I drive (and can park) a Range Rover that I bought outright, new, no finance, with money I earned myself.
I would also never ask anyone to remove shoes and I’ve no idea why you shouldn’t have a toilet brush, but I have several.

I live with my mum and don’t pay any rent
I don’t see the point of celebrating Christmas
I remove all my body hair and still consider myself a feminist
I love reality TV and celebrity gossip

Agree.

I saw the great Mary Berry being interviewed last week. She was asked ‘shoes on or shoes off?’. She said ‘shoes on. Nobody takes their shoes off in our house’. 👏👏

I wait for my partner to be ready for dinner so we can eat together.

I cook 90% of the time
I use an app to 'stalk' my partner and vice versa, and neither of us minds a jot

I can easily drink a bottle of wine to myself (and not just at Christmas)
I smoke
I've always let my pets sleep on my bed
I actually enjoy it when dogs jump up to greet me
I love seeing foxes and badgers in my garden
I chuck things in the washing machine together

I think if you have an affair you should tell your spouse
I love lighting my open fire in winter
I really love my MIL
I don’t change my sheets daily - life is hectic so once every 4 weeks in our house 😬

I was a teenage mum and my life didn't go to rack and ruin.
I smoke
I drink wine daily
I shower at least once a day but twice if I leave my home.
I live in a part of London which Mumsnet refers to as unsafe (read ethnically diverse) and I love it .
I don't like animals and hope there's the canine equivalent of COVID just so they need to go away.
I fly multiple times a year and if long haul always in business class.
If it was legal I'd happily smoke weed. I enjoy the smell and the effects. Only reason I don't partake now is because the supply chain contains so much exploitation.
I love and like my children. I have zero regrets having them and I didn't find raising them particularly hard, despite mostly being a single parent.
If I read a thread on here about a SAHP being the reason why their partner has been able to do their job and achieve successes, my eyes roll back in my head at 100 mph. I have the 'big job', the kids and the house to deal with alone.

I eat my evening meal alone on the sofa sometimes and don't always sit with my DC.
I ignore calls and messages when I don't feel up to socialising.
I avoid eye contact with people in public if I don't want to speak to them.
I eat McDonald's and let my children eat it.
I use fabric softener and perfume.
I let my DC play in the garden and make noise.
I like all inclusive holidays, Centre Parcs and hot tub lodges.

Use toilet brushes.
No bath in our leasehold apartment.
Completely separate finances, I earn triple what DH earns.
Never check each other’s phones.
Drive a diesel SUV.
Will retire in 5 years time with an annual income of only around £40k between us.

Wins the thread!

I wear clothes more than once.

I put my dog’s bowls in the dishwasher.

I didn't know cleaning your ears with cotton buds was a crime.
What am I supposed to clean them with?
Shall I return to that one finger nail I've managed to keep long?

Cotton buds alongside using a tumble dryer has been a revelation to me as well.

The only Mumsnet rules I can think of that I knowingly break in real life are trollhunting, the occasional personal attack (verbal only), and talking about Malaga Airport if it becomes relevant.

I have fake grass in my garden.

I write right-handed but eat left-handed.

I don’t clean my house a gazillion times a day

I fly at least twice a month

I answer my front door

I speak to people directly about issues rather than doing all my communication by text message
