Confessions of a Mumsnetter

[PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea]

I have never ever seen Downton Abbey and don't intend to.

I'm having Crunchy Nut Cornflakes for my tea because everyone is out and I hate cooking.

I think Method cleaning products are mostly shite.

I regularly take clothes out of the dirty laundry, febreeze and wear them. Multiple times

Have a bin and loo brush in both toilets
Am not middle class or posh
Am not a high earner (middling family income) but still have a decent quality of life
I’m not really interested in holidays abroad
My DH doesn’t have an important, high powered job which takes him away from home
I took my pram / buggy on the bus every day of maternity leave and didn’t think of using a sling
I bottle fed, and I’m not ashamed of it
I had an elective c section and again not ashamed

Oh and I love my MIL

I'm not middle class or posh either and have no desire to be. And I'm not "in awe of" or "intimidated by" wealthy well groomed people.

I find committed relationships more work than they are worth and since separating from DS's dad 5 years ago I've only ever had FWB and it suits my lifestyle better.

And I'm currently drinking cider right out the bottle. Cheers to the weekend.

In the garden I light fires, play music, and use my forge to for blacksmithing. I cycle for commuting and pleasure but don't agree with helmet use.

We've got fairly bright solar lights in our garden as well as a lighthouse that has a spinning light at the top. We sit outside and listen to spotify through the Bluetooth speaker whilst talking to each other into the night. I thought about stopping doing that after reading too much mn but then gave my head a wobble and realised that most of my neighbours do similar so probably don't mind our noise.

I like barbecues but we haven't ever had one in our garden because dh is to lazy to do it.

I like wind chimes but don't have a suitable tree to hang them up in

Gosh yes, I love both hen dos and cash demands from the bride and groom. Hen dos are usually some of the best nights out (unless there is too much structure) and I would much rather give the happy couple £100 or whatever to squander on wine than have to choose some old shit from John Lewis that they probably won't even like.

I eat McDonald's
I've got my kids bacon and egg muffins from McDonald's on the way to school
I'm financially dependent on my husband
I own a cockerpoo
I do a big shop every week and still do top up shops constantly
I can't make a chicken last more than one meal
My car cost over $60,000. (Read that thread the other day where the op was told she was posting to brag and could own 10 cars for 50k)
I always give cash at weddings
I was given cash at my wedding
I like baby showers
I don't mind hot tubs
I'm not phased by global warming
I'm creeped out by older children who still breastfeed.
I hate when people write 'I spat my tea out', no you didn't.
I get upset if my husband and kids don't put effort in birthday presents, even though I'm an adult
I write hun in text messages and xx at the end

Re washing being 'darked on' - just realised what it meant (had no idea til I read up the thread!) I always put mine out at night as my washing line gets heaps of sun from 6 - 7am til about 10 - 11am and then no sun so it makes sense to put it out at night so it gets early morning sun and dries quickly. I could get it out early in morning but mornings are a bit of a rush for me actually I'm too bloody lazy to get up earlier

I use my tumble dryer all the time. Haven’t hung washing out in at least 15 years.
I was remain and now I’m leave
I love Boris Johnson
I won’t ever stop eating meat
I use wipes every day and panic if I’m running low
I’d never shop at Aldi/Lidl
A chicken lasts me one and a half days max
Other people’s children annoy me
I don’t limit screen time and now he self regulates.
I love bleach, especially the smell

I hate getting lifts off people, it feels like I’m doing them a favour by accepting rather than them me.
I’m inconsistent - sometimes I love cleaning and ironing but then will go for months without giving a shit.
I have dealt with loads of nappies over the years so can cope with the presence of a few skids here and there and I think toilet brushes are disgusting but necessary.
I’m not sure what would go into a healthy packed lunch.
I’m a size 14, it’s because I eat too much but I like it.
I don’t see a problem with working, I quite like my job but don’t love it.
I shout at my kids all the time.

When I go into a restaurant the first thing I do is scan the entire room for highchairs and if I see one I'll ask the waiter to place me as far away from it as possible.

Given the chance, I would not shag Chris Hemsworth. I just don't think he's that fit.

The snapped and farted thing was not remotely amusing.

Line of Duty is shit.

I have extreme misophonia. If I ever become Queen I will ban people from eating apples and crisps.

I have loads of tattoos and I had spent quite a bit of time on benefits (legitimately)

I am all about the woo and the twee

My beds get changed when I remember, the kids ones even longer because they are lazy feckers

My youngest watches YouTube all the time.

We love McDonald's.

I love my DP. And he loves me, even although we drive each other mad.

My kids quite often wear their pyjamas all day.

I work in a people central job and I generally hate people.

I don't say no often enough.

I don't have a loo brush.

My house is always cluttered no matter how many times I de-clutter. That shit breeds

I leave my washing out all night and I don't desperate it when I wash it.

Knickers go in with towels.

I don't batch cook and my kids won't eat anything unless it looks like it's bland and reconstituted. As long as they eat, I don't give a shit. Path of least resistance and all that.

I love my kids but I can't spend all my time with them. I equally love when they are away at their dads.

We haven't been on holiday for years due to money and none of us are any worse for the experience. Despite the judgemental crap I get from people for not taking them away.

I'm not consumed with anger for the OW who my exH is now living his life with. She did me a favour really. Again, despite being judged for not wanting to rip her face off every time we see each other.

**seperate

I also don't judge those who don't proof read before posting 😂

**separate

Good job you don't .

I shave my armpits and legs daily and wouldn’t be seen dead without mascara.

I've bought both DC an item in a shop before after saying no because I couldn't be bothered with a tantrum
My dogs don't go on the furniture or upstairs
I baby my cats
I actually really like my in laws.
Neither mdog or fdog are neutered, when fdog is in season mdog goes to my brothers, we have no plans to neuter either

I watch blackhead popping videos on youtube

I watch blackhead popping videos on youtube

Oh dear.

I didn't think that was a confession.
I thought that was normal

My OH doesn't have a hobby.
