Phrases/words you can't stand on MN

[cathf]

Maybe it's just me, but I'll kick off with:
Booby monster (or any kind of 'monster')
Figetbum (not seen this often, but it is so horrific I can't forget it)
Snuggly cuddles (see also milky cuddles,and sleepy cuddles or snuggles)
Newborn, used as a noun, not an adjective - as in my newborn, not my newborn baby.
I'm sure I will think of some more!

Isn't that just laundry??

No, thinking "shit- the school uniform isn't clean" = planning
Sorting it = preparation
Washing it = household
Drying it = household
Handing over to each family member = delegation
Putting it away = filing

Plenty of "admin"

Ah I see what you did there 😂

I hate "admin" too!
I think "making children's dentist apointments" is usually listed on there as "admin".
"Hello please can I make an appointment for Jack Brown on a Tuesday ? Tuesday 3rd? Lovely, thanks, bye"
Am I doing it wrong? It seems easy.
I also don't file any "household paperwork" if it looks like I ought to keep it it goes in the box. Then when the box is full to bursting it goes in the bin.
I also hate the "why are there so many fat kids" pretend concern threads. Why not just start a thread saying " ew! Fat people are gross" and stop pretending you care about the NHS.
Also the "how much do you spend on food?" threads which seem to be the cue for people saying they have two teenagers, a pre schooler a husband and a dog and they couldn't spend more than 40 quid a week if they tried! They make lots of lovely lentil soups with VEGGIES
I always get the feeling there are a lot of well accommodated people on here that practice frugality as a hobby.
Yeah, we used to spend fuck all BECAUSE I WAS POOR! Now we eat proper meat, bitches, and I spend LOADS! I'm not even SORRY!

I work from home irritates me what does that mean you do Avon/foreverliving/spoon whittiling ? just tell us your job fgs

Yes being frugal can be a hobby think Hugh Fernley whatshis name he is the frugal master while living very comfy . People who are genuinely poor can't afford to be frugal ime

I work from home irritates me what does that mean you do Avon/foreverliving/spoon whittiling ? just tell us your job fgs

But lots of folk do office-style jobs from home. We don't demand to know what office workers do as their job?

I am not demandi g anything it just irritates me isn't that what this thread is about you see it all over the place on here im just nosey what the working from home is

There are lots of fat kids. But none of them belong to MNers. All the MN kids are 'skinny' or 'athletic' and they're all tall too.
All the short fat kids mums must be on NM
I live with my husband and one stupid cat. We have My SD EOW, if we spend less than £150 a week on food then it's a good week. I have no idea how these people with nine kids and fourteen dogs manage on thirty quid a fortnight, good luck to them though.

You can work professionally from home we are not all forcing make up on slight frightened friends and acquintances. You have no office banter though hence the mumsnetting between tasks

Oh dear i honestly was just being silly and didn't intend to offend workers from home

DC makes me unreasonably angry.

I am fine with DH, DW and the like but there is something about DC that just gets me.

Germgirl, £30 a fortnight is a HUGE amount - we manage of £30 a month
Maybe it's because there's no faddiness in this house and my three-year-old bakes healthy snacks for the lunchboxes every weekend. We are a unit of three and DH and I are a real team.
My daughter clears up after herself - she knows already what to do so she will obviously not be a messy teenager. Actually, she LOVES washing up!
Honestly, I don't know what some people make such a fuss about.

tinkly little laugh

MrsJayy shall we add to the list not being able to make a comment about anything ever on MN without someone being offended?

Aye there is always going to be somebody offended

I loathe the use of 'sanpro', 'veggies', 'chocs', or 'hot choc', and always laugh at people asking about 'Christmas traditions'.

"Naice"

Also - another vote for "sanpro"! 🤢

'End of' is a particular pet hate of mine.
That and posters who feel the need to list in entirety what their child eats each day.

But only if the list is made up of entirely healthy foods, Edmund, and the child is tall and athletic.
Dumpy kids eating pizza are not welcome here.

Wow. Just, wow.
Police. Now.
Beak. Out.

All three drive me crazy!

Also, linking the freedom programme to any poster who has got a slight issue with their other half.

OP: DH went out on the piss last night, came home drunk and made a lot of noise

Reply: Abusive, have you heard of the freedom programme?

Really annoys me as it is a resource for people who really need. All relationships have ups and downs and arguments are part and parcel of that. Not every argument comes down to someone's partner being abusive.
