Are you aware of the unwritten rules?

Never talk about buying your child a pink toy, unless your child is a boy. Then he absolutely must have something pink and preferably a princess dress to go with it.

Do not make any spelling or grammatical errors. Your OP will be ignored, no matter how important the question until you have accepted your flogging for using to many exclamation marks.

You must have a full understanding of every allergy possible, anything that can contain these allergens and exactly how to treat them.

You must be up to date in all correct terminology and how people may identify themselves, anything less and you are an intolerant bigot.

You will need to LTB within 24 hrs of your op, otherwise you are ignoring advice people have spent time giving you, not to mention damaging your children by not immediately running for the hills without a plan.

You must have enough savings for any possible emergency, otherwise you are irresponsible and should have planned better.



You must have an in depth knowledge of every physical and mental health problem possible and be aware of exactly how to manage each one and how it might affect someone's life.

If you get a flaming you must return to your thread within ten minutes otherwise you have flounced and are ignoring well meaning advice.

Don't forget that if your DH/DP is telling you off, it's an abuse, HIBU and LTB. But if you are telling him off, YANBU and good girl/that will teach him.

Anyone making any comment on any post is almost certainly projecting. Or should that be "projecting much"?

OP, do you think you should have put in the title?

Fenella, you hide the thread where you committed the crime, name change and come back a few days later.

I have never ever seen any boy going to school in a pink coat in RL or know any whose parents buy him party frocks ,and who let's him wear them at the weekend, and all their friends both adults and children find it completely ok and there's no name calling or piss taking.

However on mumsnet it's a widespread phenomenon.

Love your op (op) but mumsnet is ace and far better than the other site.

You missed if a DH puts on weight and DW finds him unattractive then DH needs to shape up or ship out.

If DW puts the weight on and DH raises the subject sensitively then DH is a vile man and you should LTB.

OP you over-thinking it all. Just forget it and get on with your life. What difference does it make to you? Wink

Personally it would bother me, but I know it's because I'm incredibly laid back about these things.

I always feel sorry for OP's who get hammered when they aren't aware of something. Especially when they come back and say they didn't know about something and now they do - but then people continue to have a go at them.

Even if your husband is best friends with a lingerie model who has the hots for him and they see each other several times a week you must not object..,if you do, then you are insecure, suspicious and don't believe men and women can have platonic friendships.
