I’ve committed a MN crime (actually 3 or 4)

I’ve just stumbled across a MN crime I wasn’t aware of. I’ve recently name changed but have been active on the site for a couple of years.

I’ve “stalked” someone on Facebook! To put into context I have had a look at someone’s FB profile, well the bits they choose to be public. I haven’t camped outside her house and bombarded her with texts, emails, phone calls or any other of the truly horrifying acts of stalking. Before I get shot, real stalking is horrible, I do not condone it in any way.

Does anyone else check people out on facebook or am I a truly bad person for doing so?

Other MN crimes I’m guilty of include occasionally arguing with my husband, not spending every penny of my earnings on my step children and not thinking teachers are all that hard done by. AIBU? Anyone else guilty of MN crimes?

I smoke around 5 fags a day
Can polish off a bottle of wine in an evening
DP, DC and I indulge in on average 2 takeaways a week
I have a junk food cupboard which doesn’t have a lock on, I find DC don’t guzzle junk as it’s always there if they want it
I drive a gas guzzler car, DP drives a bigger gas guzzler car
I’m thinking about having baby no 3 which would make us DP’s to 4 altogether, don’t think it will break the planet
I swear in front of the DC
I don’t limit screen time, the DC get bored anyway and wander off to do something more interesting
None of my DC belong to after school clubs or go to sporting events
DP’s hobby isn’t a secret, he races motorbikes
I have 3 loo brushes
Washing left out overnight
Hate Cos, Boden and Hush clothes, if I want to wear a tent I will get one from Millets, much cheaper.
I could go on and on and onGrin
But I do love MN

I also have tattoos and occasionally wear sports gear without any intention of doing sport because they're COMFORTABLE.

Oldbutstillgotit · 06/07/2019 15:18

I have 2 bathrooms and there is a toilet brush in each. I answered the door this morning even though I wasn’t expecting anyone . I left my washing out last night and it is still out as I am watching Wimbledon with a jug of Pimms beside me . If DH doesn’t bring the clothes in, I suspect it will hang out all tonight as well. Oh and we are having takeaway delivered later .

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 06/07/2019 15:34

We are a shoes off house...

Oh and we have loo brushes.

Bagadverts · 06/07/2019 15:46
  • toilet brushes
  • eat ready meals and a few take aways
  • haven’t switched to bars of soap or shampoo
  • use throw away sanitary pads
  • not an active feminist and have hidden that board
Jeremybearimybaby · 06/07/2019 15:49

I have an ensuite... And I fucking love it!!! The DC can have the bathroom, I'm quite content! Grin I think that's a MN crime - maybe not!

YouJustDoYou · 06/07/2019 15:57

@Lizzielocket, I like the cut of your jib, sailor.

YouJustDoYou · 06/07/2019 15:58

I shower.

BlackCatSleeping · 06/07/2019 16:07

Ok, mismatched clothes pegs is just taking things too far. I’m going to have to ask you to leave. Shock

Not really. Who has time to match clothes pegs? Not me!!

Greenteandchives · 06/07/2019 16:23

Not only do I have loo brushes, but I have cream coloured carpet in the bathroom.
I don’t wash my towels and bedding every day, despite sleeping naked.
I don’t think penis beaker or T Rexing in Asda is entertaining at all.
And worst of all, I am a MIL.

darkriver19886 · 06/07/2019 16:46

Oh, my other crime is I am a blogger. Seems to be a huge crime these days.

EleanorOalike · 06/07/2019 16:51

You’re fine. I on the other hand have vertical blinds, a loo brush and I’m not even a Mum.

And there’s WAYYYYYY worse I could never admit to on Mumsnet without being slaughtered.

Stalk away.

StCharlotte · 06/07/2019 17:05

I also have a loo brush, do not reverse park, eat ready meals, and couldn't care less about animals shitting in my garden.

I was in Italy recently and no one reverse parks. It was so liberating!

thebear1 · 06/07/2019 17:19

I have a loo brush. I also like following people on social media and don't care if they try to flog me an M&S dress.

maxbabi · 06/07/2019 17:23

I swear and yell at my kids.

Winenotttea · 06/07/2019 17:29

I’m guilty of many mn crimes.

I don’t launder towels after every use
I don’t change my beds weekly
A chicken only lasts 2 meals
My bathroom bins don’t have lids and always seem to be full
I have toilet brushes
I wash my hair weekly
The towels currently on the washing line have been there since Tuesday 😂

freshasthebrightbluesky · 06/07/2019 18:12

I freely give my dc chocolate. They're loads better at managing it than I am and I think it's because it was limited for me as a child.

I hate cooking and quite often feed my dc and myself ready meals

I swear in front of my dc all the time

I don't really limit screen time

I don't shower daily

I don't change bedding weekly

1CantPickAName · 06/07/2019 18:41

I have recently changed my Fb security so it can be seen by friends of friends. Fuck em, let them look, I have nothing to be ashamed of!

I don’t own a sex towel or a penis beaker (maybe why I’m single)

My 12 yo dd and I watch catfish and judge Judy, so she can learn about the world!

pictish · 06/07/2019 18:47

I use the word ‘hubby’.
I occasionally go out and even sometimes drink too much...and that’s not all, there have been a couple of times I’ve been sick through drinking too much while out socialising. I was too hungover to be much use as a parent the next day so left it all to my dh while I suffered on the sofa...and what’s more, I don’t care!

HufflepuffHarpy · 06/07/2019 18:56

i deliberately put my washing out to be 'darked on' - i have time to hang it a night, not in the morning, its just sensible!!

I have a loo brush, but i call it a bog brush for alliterative purposes!

bedding gets changed whenever i remember....certainly not every week!! maybe once a month?!

oh and i have 4 DC so clearly singlehandedly destroying the planet.

Loveislandaddict · 06/07/2019 19:10

People match pegs on the washing line?!

@lizzielocket - loving that you have revealed dh’s hobby.

Winenotttea · 06/07/2019 19:12

I match pegs and the pegs have to match the clothes Blush

m0therofdragons · 06/07/2019 19:18

Whenever a new staff member starts in my office I Fb check them. I mentioned something to a couple of the team about a director who had a totally open Fb page and one was shocked, the other laughed and admitted he'd done the same. I also do it as part of the recruitment process when I'm hiring.

Lizzielocket · 06/07/2019 19:38

Loveislandaddict Grin
I know it’s not the done thing to say but he has a testosterone fuelled manly hobby and it really gives me the fanny gallops to watch him race. I’m proud of him.
