To not know where I fit in the world of Mumsnet?

[Flippingheck44]

I seem to be a contradiction. Middle class, full time professional working mum. Dc’s have been through childcare very happily. Dd in primary Ds about to start secondary. I like fine food and wine. Wine I drink far too much of even in front of the kids! I am also happy and non-judgemental about eating Mc D’s KFC etc

You sound great.

I don’t really understand the question but thumbs up fro me.

From what I see, you’re similar to a lot of people on here. Yeah there’s a few controversial posters on here but horses for courses. Without sounding mean, I don’t think your position is any different or special from a lot of people on here unless of course you’re getting a sly dig in by insinuating that MNers are a bunch of unrefined, angry, benefit scrounging child neglecters.

Isn't that x what the c majority of people on here are like?

Ha ha I don’t really understand my own question either! I guess it’s come from seeing so much angst on here about every life choice. Whilst I am by no means perfect I feel that the choices I make are somewhat frowned upon here but actually it is ok to work, have fun and your kids will be ok.

Kitty no no no I never think I am special and I am absolutely the last person to have a dog at anyone who finds themselves on benefits etc

Dig even!

Sorry to disappoint but you sound rather scarily like me

Yes there are definitely angsters of every stripe here! My chocolate biscuit addiction (and the fact that I have a job) definitely don't set me apart here.

I think there was a greater proportion of SAHMs when it was all fields (and no-one had smartphones to post on the train home).

Oh, so you're the same as loads and loads of people on here then, that's nice

Erm I think you standard like a fairly typical MNer.

Good I am standard don’t want to be anything more to be honest! Maybe I feel I should be but standard is definitely where I want to be!

AIBU is where you often see the more extreme views, or just things that you can’t get worked up about becoming a drama....I enjoy reading them, and comment on some, but mumsnet is so much more than AIBU (unless you like to spend your days in a froth over parking spaces or the metal charms on school pinafores not being gender neutral enough) And you sound like me too

Posted too soon ...basically I think the vast majority aren’t AIBU’ers in real life....although I’ve met a couple who from my Facebook feed definitely, definitely are and can get extremely upset about thinks that confuse me

Sounds like most of MN to me. It's quite a middle class site, I've noticed that I'm in the minority not being university educated.

Good glad I sound like some of you. I am in the blimey I love a documentary but excited that Gogglebox is coming back on category!

I am another one who thinks you sound dead normal. In fact, I'm sitting here with a large glass in hand while DH puts DD to bed. I reckon there are more MN like you than not. We just tend to remember the weird 'it's child abuse to feed a kid KFC/my DH earns millions but cheats on me with prostitutes/I just launched a nuclear strike on my next door neighbours over a parking infraction' posts because it is out of the ordinary and more interesting than 'I like rose wine and my kids sometimes have chicken nuggets'.

^ what Alaaya said. Spot on. That and all the ‘LTB’ when some poor bloke doesn’t meet MN standards and he’s evidently a decent guy but doesn’t always pick his socks up or hear the baby crying, and last weekend he came back from the pub drunk.

Yep yep with you all good to know I am normal and you are right the odd sock or occasional drunken DH is not the end of the world for most of us! I think I need to find my Mumsnet perspective.

You sound like everyone I know.
