AIBU for not being a 'real' MNetter

[derxa]

I don't fit in. I'm old (55), Scottish, sent my DC to private school, not feminist, vaguely right wing, love my DH of 28 years, love red meat, etc. etc. Although I do love Mumsnet. What can I do?

This is a terribly attention-seeking op is it not?

There is no identikit Mumsnetter. Obviously.

I love spiders, I definitely don't fit in.

I love you auntie mintyy - sorry for being drunk again - I promise I don't have a drinking problem!! this is the first time I have been really drunk since you told me off which was aaaaages ago (that might not be strictly true)

That time was on a bus too

This type of thread isn't that unusual though is it? See OP you are average!

They always have a list of why they don't 'fit in' and their preserved idea of the standard MNetter is always different.

Generally it's a chip on shoulder thing or a false sense of superiority.

I'm now more preoccupied with pissed Cactuar getting home ok on that bus.

First things first is she on the right bus?

Cactur are you on the right bus?

She's asleep isn't she?
She's nodded off and is right now dribbling down the jacket of some bloke sitting next to her whilst muttering 'I love you mintyy '

That's me pag's

Terribly attention seeking

You know I didn't post 'terribly attention seeking'?

Or do you mean you are currently pissed and asleep on the bus with Cactur

Something funny's def. going on.

Should I be insulted that someone thinks of me as their sensible Aunty?

Generally I don't post - am very much a lurker - only prolifically post when am drunk on a bus which is possibly more than is healthy. Am now drunk at home.

A drunk person thinks that Mintyy, a drunk person.

X-posted

Yay Cactaur made it home!

Well done Cactuar!

A nice big glass of water or cup of tea now maybe?

Aunty mintyy all I can say is you were very lovely to me last time I was on here and drunk on a bus and i have never forgotten - luffs u. Water may be a good idea but at the moment prosecco seems better. Luv u mumsnet (I am a very nice drunk)

I didn't realise we had to pass some sort of test to post here.

I've got two kids to two dad's (and don't live with either of them)
Don't drink wine or g&t and very rarely drink anything else
I live in jeans and have never shopped at boden in my life
I don't give a toss what anyone gives their kid for lunch
I am not obsessed with school places or living in the "right area"

I'm sure there's a few other things that just me ...me.

Hello butterflyballs - I am currently listening to Kate Bush with dh - do you like Kate Bush - she is awesome xx

I think that the average mumsnetter has higher than average income and education but there is a wide range . I'd class myself as a feminist but only agree with abortion on demand tp 24 weeks.

I'm voting labour but live in a detached house in a village in the shires.

My kids eat crap after being reared on organic veg. We went to Oxbridge but our kids are level 4 year 6 fooking average .

I'm liking the idea of swapping prose co for water.

I also want a pgce from ambridge.

Nothing in the op was 'ummumsnetty' though.

There's loads of Scottish posters. There's definitely other posters over 50. There's a whole section on schooling where I've seen discussion on various private schools. There's a massive range of political views. I think any woman who actively chooses to not be a feminist is silly, but you certainly aren't alone in that. As for the red meat thing, I have no idea where you got that from. Most of the batch cooking people like here is beef mince based. And recently on a thread about what you've eaten today, there were quite a few steaks and lamb chops.

butterflyballs I'm just like you. Except I've only got one dd and live with her dad. Otherwise we match in our non-boden jeans.

I think the op must shop in boden or it would have been mentioned in the list.

You are really saying we are all English lesbian vegetarian feminists, OP, aren't you?
