To think I don't fit in on mumsnet

I love slogans (within reason) on children's clothes

I actually an interested in Cheryl and Liam, jeremy and Stephanie, Kim and Kayne (and the rest)

I don't wash my bed sheets weekly (although am sleeping in fresh sheets tonight's)

I don't believe that men are the route of all evil, I've meant some equally horrible /gormless /irrational women too.

And finally I know you are not your husbands mother (well I hope you are not) but Don't get why he wouldn't do something for mothers day from younger children (even if you are separated)

Do you have a loo brush?

The answer to that question really does separate the wheat from the chaff.

EponasWildDaughter · 12/03/2016 09:08

If you think you don't fit somewhere i wonder why you'd feel the need to announce it? Confused

If you want to go just go. If you want to talk about what you think about MN then do that.

Maudd · 12/03/2016 09:13

I keep my shoes on in people's houses.
I make my DC give up their seats on the train.
I have 4 loo brushes

I am the Antimumsnet..... MwahahaHAHAHA......

And who's Kayne?

RJnomore1 · 12/03/2016 09:15

I HAVE THREE LOO BRUSHES

Do I get a prize

RJnomore1 · 12/03/2016 09:16

Aw no Maud's beat me 😔

unimaginative13 · 12/03/2016 09:16

I moved from netmums to here after seeing the mumsnet thread on netmums and thinking they look like my kind of people.

Netmums is good for am I pregnant/ what gender/ is this positive stuff.....

Sorry did I put good in that sentence .....

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 12/03/2016 09:19

I don't think anyone who is questioning who Kayne is, is doing themselves any favours. The OP clearly meant Kanye West, and you'd have to have been living under a rock to not know that, either that, or you're being deliberately obtuse to make the OP feel bad.

Sparklingbrook · 12/03/2016 09:20

I know who Kim and Kanye are but not sure exactly what they are. Grin

Crazypetlady · 12/03/2016 09:23

I don't have a look brush but they are £1.99 in the local poundztretcher I intend to get one.

Crazypetlady · 12/03/2016 09:23

Loo

kawliga · 12/03/2016 09:24

OP, if I swear that men are the route of all evil, especially Kayne, will that make me the only poster who fits in on mumsnet?

Then we'd have at least one poster who fits in (me! I'll say everything on your list if that's what it takes to fit in!) surrounded by millions of posters who don't fit in.

Ginslinger · 12/03/2016 09:26

excuse me everyone - I'm a special precious snowflake and I have my very own opinions, don't you know? I don't sheepishly follow the herd like the rest of you clearly do.

BastardGoDarkly · 12/03/2016 09:32

You feeling more at home yet op?

00100001 · 12/03/2016 09:34

Is his a flounce in disguise??

flippinada · 12/03/2016 09:42

Why do people with completely normal, average opinions persist in thinking they're some kind of radical, free-thinking iconoclast? Most bizarre.

Teapot101 · 12/03/2016 09:51

Can't believe I'm reading a post and mentally counting how many loo brushes I have (5)

MLGs · 12/03/2016 09:59

I agree with agree with those who say there are lots of different views on here. Sometimes it feels like a consensus on some issues. Sometimes there is a consensus, on basics like not being rude and not expecting favours just "because".

Equal leisure time between partners is a consensus that seems very sensible.

At other times, you will have two fairly similar ops with completely different responses. This could be because of who happens to be on at the time or because of the way the OP has a expressed the problem.

I disagree with somethings that you might call a mumsnet orthodoxy. I think parent and child parking spaces are a positive thing for example. But I don't think that means I don't fit it, I think it is fine to disagree.

As pps have said, key is for everyone to express themselves with courtesy and respect for the views of others. Except when someone really needs to ftfottfsofafosmwygt.

We actually have spare unopened loo brushes in the cupboard in case of a loo brush emergency.

BunnyTyler · 12/03/2016 10:17

I only have 2 toilet brushes Sad

DonkeyOaty · 12/03/2016 10:21

I should think a spare loo brush would be most handy for those unexpected equine visitors' dental routines? V thoughtful host you are, MLG.

MLGs · 12/03/2016 10:36

Thanks donkey. I am a true patron of animals in need.

They also make good swords while still in their packaging as DS recently demonstrated.

Maudd · 12/03/2016 10:36

MLGs you've made me all nostalgic. No-one's been told to ftfottfsof for ages, it must be a lonely place over there now! Come to think of it, our piss doesn't seem to get boiled any more either. No, now we are stabby instead Grin

Quiero · 12/03/2016 10:37

Not another one

I think from previous threads we worked out that we're all quite different, with different interests and opinions. If you cannot fit in somewhere so diverse, I do wonder how you manage in real life.

Sometimes, when everyone does come together (not literally Wink) It is a thing of beauty - like on the 'imperfections' media request thread.

I disagree with loads of stuff people say on here, I'm working class for a starter and relatively low earning compared to some so posts about au pairs, nannies, quinoa etc have no relevance to me but it's still interesting and I like to 'meet' different people with different backgrounds.

I think to be so dismissive and assume you're so different or special is a bit ignorant tbh.

MLGs · 12/03/2016 10:39

My phone has it saved as a spelling, maudd.

Has the boiling of piss gone the same way as "gets my goat"? I.e. has a new meaning now?

MissBeaHaving · 12/03/2016 10:44

But Op,you changed your bedding after reading that thread -you've been netted by the hive mind,expect full transformation within the week.
