" Just stick with him, he'll change eventually"

Inspired by another thread, what advice, response you never hear on mn?

I received a text meant for another friend and found out they're all going to lunch without me. I'm not upset though, I respect their right to have other friendships.

'I think I will post a nice supportive thread and not one vaguely bitching at other people's. Responses and choices"

Increasingly on MN

I've seen some health advice on whale.to. They seem a bit flakey so I've decided to ignore it.

Amrapaali · 27/12/2013 10:27

To be fair, you won't hear many of these things on MN, because they arent what any right-thinking person would ever consider in a situation.

I'd like to think MN is awash with intelligent souls.

I'm so excited for DD! She got on the hairdressing course she wanted. She worked so hard in school to get A*s in all her GCSEs but that convinced her that she didn't want to go down the A-level route. I'm so pleased she's getting to achieve her dream. Shall I take her out for a meal to celebrate?

I went to asda today and got ALL my food shopping saves so much time

Gileswithachainsaw · 27/12/2013 10:36

Thank you soooo much for my present. It's lovely and was very kind of you , I know you have been very busy lately and my visit was very last minute. It's appreciated thank you.

I saw someone parking in a p&c space without children and justbgot on with my day without tantrumming like a child.

DameEdnasBridesmaid · 27/12/2013 10:42

So you're the OW, well you have just as much right to be happy as his DW, so you crack on with what you are doing and it'll all turn out all right in the end.

MrsVaughnRice · 27/12/2013 10:45

Fuming with DH because he went to collect DD's new pushchair and He chose a blue one! He knows my lil princess has to have everything pink! How am I going to have grand kids if she grows up gay?

You take drugs, you say? Jolly good.

It doesn't matter that you haven't asked if you are being reasonable or not, of course it's fine to post in the topic with the most traffic regardless of the subject of your thread.

"I made roast chicken for just me and DH last night, then we fed all the leftovers to the dog."

Amrapaali · 27/12/2013 10:50

AIBU should be scrapped. Its become a bloody joke.

HECTheHeraldAngelsSing · 27/12/2013 10:51

I really dont care about other people's (non abusive ) choices that dont impact on me at all. I dont CAAAAAAARE what you do in your life.

Of course, mumsnet would be very quiet... Grin

candycoatedwaterdrops · 27/12/2013 10:52

"I'm coughing up blood and I think I accidently flushed my lung down the toilet last night. I saw my GP yesterday who said I have a cold but I'm going back to the GP to see if I can see someone else for a second opinion."

HECTheHeraldAngelsSing · 27/12/2013 10:54

Aibu was always a joke. Very few ever wanted to actually know. Mostly it was about moaning now it has become Chat by another name.

LineRunner · 27/12/2013 10:54

Your husband's a bit pissed? Well never mind, eh.

BalloonSlayer · 27/12/2013 10:55

Great that you have shagged him on the first date but Sad for you that he didn't mention whether he wants a relationship, FWB or whether that was all you'll be getting.

The best way to handle this is to send him lots and lots of cryptic sexy texts and facebook messages and lie awake into the small hours every night analysing his replies and trying to decide whether "Hi babes LOL" means he is longing for commitment or not.

You could post all his texts on here too. We won't get impatient.

Whatever you do, do NOT pick up the phone and just bloody ask him

Gileswithachainsaw · 27/12/2013 10:57

My dc are coming home from school hungry so I'm going to calmly and politely inform the school that their current set up isn't working as most the food has gone when it's their turn. I will also stop handing over fifty pound a month for my children to be fed bread and pasta due to afformentioned shortages and make them a packed lunch that is actually enjoyable. I can then meal plan for the week instead of having to throw together an emergency tea because the school meal was inadequate. :o

pictish · 27/12/2013 10:57

It's been six weeks now, and you've never felt this way about anyone before? What are you waiting for? Move him in! Your kids will probably love it!!

MrsPatrickDempsey · 27/12/2013 10:58

I am so proud to be a health visitor because I know how respected and valued my profession is.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 27/12/2013 11:00

I live near a school. I don't mind at all if someone's running a little late with the school drop-off and parks across my drive for 5 (or 20) minutes. It would be rude of me to make them park a little further away and walk surely?

"Oh you wax/shave your pubic hair? I absolutely respect the decision you have made, as an intelligent grown woman, about your own body. I'm positive that you are quite capable of making these choices for yourself without being pressured by the wishes of men and the pornification of society. And the fact your partner likes it does not in any way raise alarm bells about him being a paedophile. You go tame that bush girl!"
