you know you spend too much time on MN when...

[Skweeki]

Mumsnetty phrases become an everyday part of your vocabulary...and your 9yo turns around after you've made a stupid comment and asks...

"Mommy, are you on glue?"

When you have addressed your do as DP.

"Could you pass me the butter, DP?" "How was your day, DP?" "Say to to MiL, DP."

Yup...to other people too!!!! "DD is having a birthday party" etc...oh, and another one. I called myself a "lurker" the other day when joining in a conversation between two other people about music!

DH thinks something crazy is about to go down because we booked a trip to Center Parcs. It's not, that will never happen.

When you interrupt other people's conversation and they look at you like and you say "sorry did I derail the thread?"

When I want sensible advice I add 'mumsnet' to the end of a Google search.

I now overuse the phrase "not my circus, not my monkeys" but it just perfectly sums up how I feel about so many things

If I moan at DP about anything he's done wrongly, because of course my way is the correct way his immediate response is always "LTB".

Two things,
My Google search engine is always
"Mumsnet (followed by whatever relate to my life at the time"
& I also say in conversation " someone was telling me the other day..." ( then recounting something I've read on here.
My real life family must think I have so many friends haha

When you go out for a naice romantic dinner with your DH and you tell him about 'what's been on MN today'. And he expects it.

Yep, I have referred to my husband as "DH" in a rl conversation

Telling someone to fuck off to the far side of fuck in my head far, far too often

ruggerhug that, but with my fiancé!! I got him into mumsnet

I find myself panicking that I will leave a shopping list behind (with something others find hilarious) and it will appear on here. I now always have to check I have it with me when I leave the supermarket.

actually, the original shopping list was all because it said 'nice ham'

I used to write 'nice ham' on my shopping lists and I secretly believe that it was one of mine that fell into the hands of a mn and caused the whole shopping list thing

YY to thinking AIBU about everyday situations in RL. It's usually quite helpful.

I have used entitled alot in RL - i didn't actually realised it wasn't used commonly.

I've also used special snowflake.

There was a shopping list on the checkout on Saturday. I considered posting about it but it was depressingly conventional. Still, on seeing my first thought was Mumsnet!

When work colleagues think your child's name is DeeDee!

My mate has just texted me about a "steak night" and I sniggered 😁😁

I have also stolen shopping lists from the bottom of trollies that aren't mine just in case they are of mn interest. Do worry I look a bit of a weirdo, which I'm sure draws attention to my James Bond-Esque attempts at stealth.
