Confessions of a Mumsnetter

[PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea]

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

I named my daughter Evie. Don't let the fact she is named after her great grandmother and her being a teenager (so it wasn't even in the top 100 when we named her) stand in the way of your MN hatred of me for saddling her with such a hideous moniker.

I dislike people with a ‘monolingual mindset’

I hate the smell of zoflora.

I enjoy going to adult places where kids are not encouraged.
I don't like other people's animals.
I have never watched Game of Thrones.
I don't want to entertain people in my own hone.

I have a toilet brush.
I don’t police my teenagers’ screen time.
I wear my bra multiple times before washing it.

I’m a cow and gate mum and never batch cook.

I also have an amazing DH and good relationship with my ILs

I enjoyed my ex's fame more than I enjoyed being with him.

I iron all of our underwear and flannels.

I hate gimmicky clothes.

@Walnutwhipster. Evie is lovely from cradle to grave 😊

I work for a relatively well-known, not remotely trendy organisation which is linked to a prestigious profession and yet not only do I have visible and prominent tattoos and a shaved undercut hairstyle but in common with my colleagues I also often wear sandals or trainers and casual dresses with bare legs in the office. Even more shockingly, absolutely nobody cares.

I think most of Mumsnet act like middle class Hyacinth Buckets but are actually sat in their council houses, whilst their kids eat nuggets and smiley faces and watch reruns of Jeremy Kyle.

I have a toilet brush.

I use antibacterial wipes.

I sometimes leave my washing out all night.
I don't think the penis beaker, cutted up pears or snapped and farted threads are remotely funny.

I didn't ltb.

I am financially dependent on my husband.

I cannot fathom how you could feed four people for a week on £60.

I don't limit screen time.

Where do I start?!

DH and I married straight out of highschool, he asked my father's permission, I took his last name.

I rely on DH to financially support me

I have a loo brush, and I'm not afraid to use it

I talk to everyone, everywhere, and make friends with all ages

I swim naked, in the ocean and in the lakes

I smoke weed. It is the only thing that helps with my sarcoidosis , it's legal so no worries that way

I have three tattoos

I spend my days sitting in the garden, painting driftwood and talking to cats

I love my in-laws, and get along with them well

I love bonfires, camping in a tent in the middle of nowhere, BBQs, and fireworks

I would not dream of asking anyone to take their shoes of when they come into my house .
I loved being a SAHM for 5 years and felt very sorry for women who weren’t for whatever reason .

I am an old woman who talks to babies that I haven't been formally introduced to

Both myself and DH have had "issues" where mumsnet would have said LTB but actually it's made us stronger .

@EmmiJay I need to know who your ex was now

This thread is very reassuring!

@karala my baby is 8 weeks old and I am quite literally offended when old women DON’T talk to him

I definitely poo at work. Ain't nobody gonna get in the way of my 2pm shit.

I'm fat and I don't do keto and I have no intention of starting.

I hate exercise.

I think Parisienne style is really boring and prefer bright colours.

I like Starbucks coffee. And their "sickly" flavour syrups.

I don't consider myself superior to people who write 'chester draws' or say 'less' rather than 'fewer'.

I've always been fairly clear to my dc that Santa is a nice story/game and don't encourage them to 'believe'.

Dh and I don't feel we need nights away minus dc or 'couple time'.

@karala That’s made me properly laugh out loud. Good on you!

My kids lived on jars when they where little
I hated breastfeeding
I own a loo brush
I wash my bedding every week
Pom bear crisps make me feel sick
I adore my in laws
I am nc with my own family
As a family we have waaayyy too much screen time

@user1493759849

I am English, and proud to be English.

As well you should be!

I love football, do not accept that it is ‘just a game’ and actively encourage my DP in his football-related hobby.
