About huns?

[WellErrr]

I'm fully prepared to be told that I am VU/a snob/a fucking cunting bastard etc.

Fully prepared.

But more and more and more since the recent DM shite I've noticed 'hun'ing creeping into over half the threads I click on.

It makes my teeth itch. I always want to say something but I don't want to be that arsehole.

I don't know why it annoys me. I'm not a snob so it's not that. It's just so bloody twee.

"Do you want a coffee Hun? are you sure Hun? Milk Hun? Sugar Hun?? Ah Hun it's hot, be careful Hun......hmm"

Did she look like this?

I say BLEURGH to huns
And will point them out wherever I see them.

It would never have been acceptable years ago. We ran the child modelling, pram loving huns off the boards we need to stamp it out wherever possible

At the most extreme you can give an unmumsnety hug if someone dies. Thats it.

Dd aged 7 has befriended a gorgeous little boy in her class. Mum is very glamorous blonde, very nice but Huns and babes every other word. She doesn't have a Dd and has formed a real bond with Dd who idolises her and copies her and goes there for tea often. Hence I now have a 7 year old "Hun" living in our midst. What to do?

Oh bloody hell... I'm one of those ! people I promise to try harder.
Also... In the interests of over defending myself, the princess thing in my NN is because I craved pineapple when I was pregnant with DD and DP used it ironically a couple of times based on Princess Peach from Mario because I like games outs self entirely I'm not actually a princess with frills and the like.
Hun is awful. It makes my skin crawl. Not as bad as yummy mummy though [vom]

KERALA. Wash her mouth out with soap of course!

It's difficult isn't it because whatever you say to her about it is bound to get repeated to the other Mum 😁 I think I'd risk 'Children don't say that, only adults' if they don't wish to live long

LO. I have to defend this though. I use this and I know some others do too, to describe young children in our care that aren't actually our DC, if we don't wish to describe the nature of the relationship all the time. No need to use it instead of DS or DD though, but it doesn't bother me - I'll save that ire for 'My lil princess'/prince' worse still pwincess, pwince.

I will 'love' & 'lovely' on Relationships/Bereavement/Illness threads without a second thought, as I would IRL. Please save your ire for the Huns & bubz 😁

I saw this on f/ache yesterday in someone's bio.

"Loving wife and full time mummy to our beautiful princess"

There's definitely an influx of hubbys sweethearts and xxx :) Mumsnet is no longer a safe space dividing us between the NM Huns.

And names with numbers - eyes up Susan

YANBU, it boils my piss

You haven't lived til your 7 year old has called you "babes"

Husband called me 'babe' yesterday. I'm 55. He won't do that again.

YANBU. It's so fake and cringey.

YANBU 'Hun ' it's really get my goat

Dh refers to a Hun as a Rangers supporter!!

At the end of the day........ Really really really pisses me off!

At the end of the day WHAT? The sun goes down!!!

I am unconvinced that 'hunning' and the dislike of it is anti-working class. In fact - the concept is nonsense. My sister in law - who is so elegant she pisses Sancerre and shits White Stuff - is a terrible 'hunner'. Not to me. She only pulled that stunt the once . Whenever I hear her say it the insincerity is dripping in her tone!

Yy usual.

HappiestMummyAlive is a memorable one for being a GF on the baby with meningitis thread.

When people write 'rrrrrr' as in 'aw' 😁

Not as annoying as people who use Gr8, M8, ur , yous...... H8 them all !!

"so elegant she pisses Sancerre"

I'm having this engraved on my headstone when I go
