To ask the most bizzare 'facts' you have read on mums net

[Ashamedandblamed]

Everyone obviously thinks what they are telling you is true but sometimes their sources or opinions are not factually correct.

What is the most ridiculous or bizzare fact/opinion you have seen ?

I just thought of one, not sure if others would agree or not but still...
If your DP/DH does not do exactly 50% of household chores and looking after the DC, he is a nasty, abusive arse and you absolutely must LTB. He should also know exactly what needs doing around the house and do them without being told/reminded. I’m no way saying a DH should get away with doing nothing, but it’s the idea that if it’s not a perfect 50/50 split then he’s a massive wanker.
Someone also said on a thread that “true love” or whatever it was a partner coming through a door and INSTANTLY KNOWING that the poster needed a takeaway instead of cooking, or that xyz needed to be done. People aren’t fucking psychic. It’s not the end of the world if a DH needs to be told something. If he needs telling repeatedly and still doesn’t do it, fair enough, but being told something once or twice isn’t THAT awful.

That you cannot be feminist and pro trans. It is impossible to be both.

That a diet used several times ( because the poster got fat again afterwards) was a success. No wonder the diet industry does so well.

That 'natural' is better because there are cute ickle bunnies on the label.

that if i leave my washing out all night it will get "darked on"

That dh's should know how to do absolutely everything, as we do. If not, LTB. Then all posting each other on how to change a fuse?

that if i leave my washing out all night it will get "darked on"

WTF?

alife I think I read that one about darked on but abandoned it was I wasn't sure what it meant!

That no married woman changes her name to her husband’s these days, that last happened in the 1950s. If you have dear readers, you’ve been living in a cave or under it infact.

Teenagers are raving sex maniacs and will have sex in dangerous places unless you allow them to do it in the home. Order the double bed.

That if i leave my washing out all night it will get "darked on"

And spiders will rub their willys on it

Even the spiders that have been eaten will rub their willies on the washing. But only in the dark.

Willies? Spiders??

I ducked all the trans stuff, TBH

Really sorry to have derailed this thread but I'm getting confused by which spiders eat the big ones now. I thought people were talking about the ones, they look sort of see through and spindly and congregate mostly in the corner of walls.

yes, Mission - the spiders with the tiny bodies and long spindly legs that sit in the corners of rooms not moving much (and moving slowly when they do) eat the fuck off massive hairy house spiders. I have seen it with my own eyes in my own house and have never moved another spindly cellar spider since.

That if you put your children in pyjamas after swimming the brief walk through the car park to the car and then from the car to the house will render them too filthy to go to bed in said nightclothes.

That any child being naughty is SEN.... they are probably just naughty.

Oh and that bear is a name you can call a human.. it's really bloody not

One thing I’ve noticed a lot is posters selectively misreading an OP. They pounce on one sentence/small section, even if the OP/subsequent posters have explained. I know not everyone has the time to read a whole multi-page thread but you can surely read the whole of an OP and some of the subsequent posts before leaping in and making a point which makes them sound stupid as they haven’t read the whole post properly, and their comment/question has already been asked.

Talking of pyjamas/nightdresses... that if you wear them more than once or wear them without pants, you are a filthy slattern that stinks and your bed is like a smelly hovel full of dead skin and cells

Rousette shuttup, stop talking about me

If you don't wash your hair every single day - regardless of hair type - then you leave a oily slime trail everywhere you go and people can 'smell you' at a distance of 50 feet.

Bullet just drawing attention away from me by implicating someone else

Weaning and safe sleep guidelines also change every couple of years and they definitely didn’t exist when some posters had children 2/5/10 years ago.

I have also read for at least 3 years that the weaning guidelines are about to change imminently.

Oh yes! Forgot about the stinking hair that everyone except me can smell !

If your partner mentions someone at work, regardless of any other factors AT ALL, you probably should consider the possibility that they fancy each other like mad and 'get your ducks in a row' whilst simultaneously hacking into every social media account they've ever had before never actually talking about it with your partner.

Anyone not providing blow by blow details of the inevitable break up THAT NIGHT will be declared a troll.

Roussette aha, it was a diversion tactic actually it is me

that if i leave my washing out all night it will get "darked on"

For some reason people think that this is hilarious. I have never really understood why. Same as the thing about spider willies.

The only thing that happens if you leave your washing out overnight is that it will smell odd in the morning and get all damp.
