I'm starting to feel distinctly unwelcome on MN, in spite of being on here for years. AIBU?

not quite the full set for total jealousy; you need to become a landlord. Wink

penniechews · 10/02/2015 14:59

special Not me, but my daughter is, do I get points for that.

is she landlord of a house you only have because you are a baby boomer, so you got it in '75 for £400

Mrsstarlord · 10/02/2015 15:01

Are you a step mum? That will increase your standing in the hatred stakes for MN

Behindthepaintedgarden · 10/02/2015 15:04

Are you a MIL? Because then you are public enemy no 1.

penniechews · 10/02/2015 15:08

I'm letting the side down now, I'm not a SM or a MIL, I do however live in the S.E. That's got to help.

Do you wear bootcut jeans or fascinators too? Both executable offences apparently.

LooksLikeImStuckHere · 10/02/2015 15:12

Do you live in London in a £1 million + house?

Also, are you a vegetarian fussy eater because they are the worst (and I say that as a fully paid up member of that particular club) Grin

LooksLikeImStuckHere · 10/02/2015 15:13

Oooo and do you own a toilet brush?

Almostfifty · 10/02/2015 15:15

Waterfall Cardigan? Tick
Bootcut jeans? Tick
Landlady? Tick
Babyboomer? Tick
Fussy eater? Tick
Own my house? Tick
SAHM (grown up children)? Tick

Think I'd better go too.

123upthere · 10/02/2015 15:18

Do you give mums with babies in supermarkets either the disapproving 'you shouldn't be breeding' look or are you the nicer type of baby boomer who offers to hold the baby if it's crying?

penniechews · 10/02/2015 15:18

I don't live in a million pound house, but I know someone who knows someone who does.

poor attempt Penniechews.

Perhaps you could throw in a couple of spelling mistakes to make it up to us?

Almostfifty · 10/02/2015 15:19

My house would be a million pound house if I lived in London, do you think that counts?

Behindthepaintedgarden · 10/02/2015 15:20

Where do you stand on:

4x4s?
P&C parking?
Gregg's sausage rolls?

Lilymaid · 10/02/2015 15:21

I live in a house that is too big for me and DH (or would be if we could get DSs belongings out) and I am still working and preventing younger people getting jobs. I have also got a chronic illness so will cost the NHS/future tax payers a lot. Shoot me now.

happygirl87 · 10/02/2015 15:21

I'm a fussy eating step mum wearing a waterfall cardigan! Grin

BUT only late 20s and will never get on the property ladder...where do I rank please?

I have 2 loo brushes and hardly ever wash my towels

happygirl87 · 10/02/2015 15:23

Ooh my Mum has a 4x4 with....a personalised number plate!! And I like hot tubs......do I have to leave a join net mums?! Please say no, I need to live in a land where adults can swear!

penniechews · 10/02/2015 15:23

I always smile sympathetically at people with crying babies, but I would be far too scared to offer to hold one.

I don't kiss or touch babies, as I said, I've been on here a long time.

I have no issue with Baby Boomers.

I have no issues with fussy eaters.

I'm sure you are lovely.

florentina1 · 10/02/2015 15:25

How are you on Lemon Drizzle cake? How do you stand on mums taking shop bought cake to the school Fayre?

We need to know these things before we can figure out whether you are a true hate figure.

OnlyLovers · 10/02/2015 15:25

Oh, you can feel unwelcome for anything if you look on here long enough.

I have been or could be taken to task on MN for

  • having friends over for pancakes
  • not agreeing with women taking their husbands' names on marriage
  • living in That London with all its myriad sins and affectations
  • liking real coffee, not instant

I wouldn't take it to heart.

wigglesrock · 10/02/2015 15:26

Well I'm a sneaky smoker who can't stand most vegetables and also sees her parents a few times a week and relied on them for childcare, I think I'm in the lead Wink

FaFoutis · 10/02/2015 15:26

Do you say 'could of' ?

RufusTheReindeer · 10/02/2015 15:27

My mil is a baby boomer, fussy eater

I would still give her 9 out of 10 in the mil stakes
