Most of it doesn't reflect my real life, I am glad to say.

Inconsiderate parking does happen, especially around the local primary school.

I got on reasonably well with my MIL. She could be difficult at times, but can't we all. She died about 18 months ago and yes, she is missed, especially by DH although he doesn't say much.

I wouldn't be without my two toilet brushes (one upstairs in the bathroom and one in my downstairs toilet). Just about all houses I have ever been in do have them. It would hardly be a general topic of conversation I would have with people though, whether they like or use toilet brushes. I have only ever seen the debate on here.

Love wine and chocolate but I'm not sure it's the answer to everything. Or is it mmm
Oh the NC crew forgot all about them! Yes there are plenty of reasons to NC with people I did with my mum for very very good reason but it's another one that seems to be bandied around on here

I love the "don't ever judge the drunken, swearing mother" threads. Oh so liberal and angelic.

But someone posts, "today I told my DC she was acting like a brat."

MN: You're a classic emotional abuser. Your poor children.

budgiegirl · 21/11/2015 18:02

I hate loo brushes. Hate them!

Nasty , hideous things.

I love bleach!

SurlyCue · 21/11/2015 18:02

Some people seem to be assuming that swearing is only ever accidental, rather than deliberate.

Yes this.

I agree with typing swear words & posting them, something very odd about that - I can understand swearing if you're really angry & in the heat of the moment a word slips out, but taking the time to type it out?
Weird.

It was ^^this that implied swearing should only happen when angry. As if its wrong or something! Confused

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 21/11/2015 18:03

Loo brush - I've got four but everyone else in my house seems to be a loo brush avoider, so I know they're a real life thing.

Cunt - only when I talking about my cunt, never as an insult.

Ltb - So many women would be so much happier but I don't mention it unless the wanker in their life is actually abusive.

Call the police for anything - No, but I admire those with enough optimism to imagine it would do them any good to have a PCSO turn up a week next Tuesday.

MIL - She's loves me but not as much as my first MIL who really loved me.

FB boasters - One sad feckes who hasn't noticed that he has nothing whatsoever to boast about.

Benefit Cheats - I suspected a neighbour but I knew it wasn't really any of my business. A couple of time I made the appropriate British response and gave her A Look.

Inconsiderate Parking Wankers - my father is a wheelchair user, I think a gun should be issued with every blue badge.

LumpySpacedPrincess · 21/11/2015 18:03

Not nearly enough LTBing in real life, just a lot of women putting up with a lot of shit and being told to keep putting up with it.

SoDiana · 21/11/2015 18:06

I have loo brushes. I use the word cunt on a regular basis in Ireland. Wewwould do anything bar call the police. Murder is about the height of what would merit a call. And even then only if you kbew there was a patio
Mils live up to the stereotype
If I could get away with benefit fraud I would. I have my morals!
Fb is reserved for anyone who has not yet deleted me and my rants.

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 21/11/2015 18:07

Following a MN typo, I've decided that the next time the world get too much for me, I'm going to spend an afternoon in Spar, checking dates. I'll enjoy it much more than being rubbed down with a greasy hand by an indifferent teenager.

Seeyounearertime · 21/11/2015 18:08

I'm an inconsiderate cunt of a car Parker that hates his MIL and boasts about hating loo brushes on FB. I called the police on the benefit cheating chav scum when he got kicked out for breathing and was kicking my wall, wanker.

Mehitabel6 · 21/11/2015 18:09

MN is a parallel universe- that is what makes it such fun!

derxa · 21/11/2015 18:17

*An OP: I was invited to a wedding tomorrow a zillion years ago, I can't be arsed to go even though they have paid out £££££ for my food and drink, and we used to be really close, and the bride really wants me to go. But WIBU not to go?

MNers: God I wouldn't go. They are totally wrong to expect you to go. Put your pjs on and have a nice night at home*
This one always makes me feel very Sad I don't asked to weddings any more.

derxa · 21/11/2015 18:17

I don't get asked

Garlick · 21/11/2015 18:19

Don't use a loo brush but don't mind if you do. (Why would I?)
Don't be such a daft cunt!
LTB if you aren't happy with the B.
Call the police if unsure, that's why they introduced 110.
My MILs were a bit exasperating, not hateful.
I don't boast on FB but do rant!
Am on benefits; not cheating.
Am shit at parking.
You lead a dull life.
HTH Wink

HoneyDragon · 21/11/2015 18:20

apart from the police thing I thought you were describing my mum.

spritefairy · 21/11/2015 18:21

Me and dh regularly call each other a cunt. In jest of course.
I resent my Mil and sil1 but its ok cos dh desises them too!!

Sil2 is lovely though

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 21/11/2015 18:23

Spa Day? Grin, yes when your life is going tits up and your dh is being a cunt, go to a Spa.

That'll show him!

MNers: God I wouldn't go. They are totally wrong to expect you to go. Put your pjs on and have a nice night at home'

Or, this one -
OP: I got asked to a childfree wedding in Mumbai. It's my cousin I haven't seen in 10 years and my partner isn't invited. I'll have to use all my annual leave, all my money and they want a cash gift. Should I say no?

MN: I think you should find a way to go. Could you camp a couple of hours away and hitchhike in so you're in budget? Your partner should be blissfully happy you're making the effort.

As for LTB, I'm in my mid-40s. Lots of folks we know are splitting up after enduring shit relationships for 15+ years.

Right that's it I do live a boring life! I'm off to book a spa day dunk chocolate in my wine!

Unreasonablebetty · 21/11/2015 19:55

Loo brush hating- a friend of mine doesn't own a loo brush.
C**t using- hurrah for my favourite swear word.
LTB for breathing- yes my mothers a bit like that.
Call the police for anything- hmm. Nope.
MIL loathing- me, only half the time. I go between loving and hating, FIL 100% of the time.
FB boasting- yep, usually the saddest poorest ones.
Benefit cheating - my neighbours.
Inconsiderate parking twats- yes!! I've had people park on my drive before then jog down the road.

BertrandRussell · 21/11/2015 20:36

I cannot get my head round women using "cunt" as an insult or as a word to describe something really bad. The internalised self hatred is shocking.

Can't see a problem with loo brushes.

KeepOnMoving1 · 21/11/2015 20:38

Only on MN . Rl is so much nicer.

CobblerBob · 21/11/2015 20:42

Using cunt - internalised self hatred? REALLY?

Well that's one thing only on mumsnet and not in my life, thank cunt.

I also use a loo brush. How else do you get children's dried shit off the pan?

reni2 · 21/11/2015 20:44

Since using mn I always check friends' houses for loo brushes. Always found them so far.

DrDreReturns · 21/11/2015 20:45

BertrandRussell really? Men call each other cocks, dicks etc
