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

OP posts:
GameSetMatch · 29/08/2019 21:56

I baby my children and don’t make them do anything around the house.

I love big massive dogs the drooling hound types are the best!

I hate cooking, I buy mostly pre prepared meals.

Tiptopj · 29/08/2019 21:57

My toddlers favourite food is crisps

I think theres a lot of mumsnetters who have no idea what gas lighting and mysogonistic actually mean

MolyHolyGuacamole · 29/08/2019 21:58

I have a penis beaker.

Jk I don't Grin

Cryalot2 · 29/08/2019 21:59

I rarely watch tv .
I used to be a cleaner and could never understand how people left their homes, but now I hate housework.
When i get nusciance phone calls I pretend to not speak English.
I love a plain McDonald's. Have always found them clean and their beef is british and traceable .
Cant stand the clean and tidy women on the media.

MolyHolyGuacamole · 29/08/2019 21:59

I also don't care who uses the same toilets as me or what gender they identify as 🤷🏽‍♀️ their genitalia is not my concern

TSSDNCOP · 29/08/2019 22:05

I had a gift list, a hen night and a baby shower. No one was summoned.

I vote Tory, have worked in Investment Banking and now HR. See my cloven hooves.

I fly to AI holidays and sometimes don’t recycle as enthusiastically as I should. But I do get my milk delivered in glass bottles and only have one child.

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 29/08/2019 22:06

I have two toilet brushes, one for each toilet
I love my husband and he loves me
We pick of the left over roast chicken the next day for snacks, sandwiches, so I sorta make it last for 2 meals
My husband does all the laundry including ironing
I do all the cooking, grocery shopping, meal planning
We both work full time

I don't have/don't like children
I've never seen Game of Thrones or read the books. (Or Harry Potter)
I don't recognise 90 percent of the pop songs that MNetters like

Jeffjefftyjeff · 29/08/2019 22:08

I don’t really know what Zoflora is and have never been bothered enough to google it.
I wash my bedding when I get round to it. I don’t even know how often this is.
I never did all class parties and lost track of whose parties DS had been to. When his birthday came round we just did something vaguely nice with whoever he was particularly friendly with that month.

LaMarschallin · 29/08/2019 22:08

I did LTB.

But he didn't notice.

So I eventually sidled back in.

ToEarlyForDecorations · 29/08/2019 22:09

Oh, and for good measure:

Nom nom nom.

Penis beaker was the first thread I commented on.

Metempsychosis · 29/08/2019 22:09

I play computer games despite being an adult.
I can’t drive despite being an adult and rely on my husband to drive me around when necessary. (I do have a licence, but anyone trusting me to drive them would need their head examined).

Metempsychosis · 29/08/2019 22:11

I thought the first two hundred posts of the penis beaker thread were hilarious.

MrsMoastyToasty · 29/08/2019 22:11

I give my DS Macdonald's.
I can eat a whole packet of Jaffa cakes.

Thinkle · 29/08/2019 22:11

WHAT is the deal with the loo brush!!

CatteStreet · 29/08/2019 22:12

I didn't/don't bathe (or 'bath'. 'Bath' as a verb is one for the next 'what word do you hate?' thread) my small dc daily. Two or three times a week or when dirty is enough. The ritual of the daily bath is bonkers. And it's a book, not a 'story' (unless you really are telling them a story without reading from a book).

CatteStreet · 29/08/2019 22:15

Many people on here consider loo brushes abominations because they've been in the loo and they're in your bathroom. Shock

On the matter of what MNers find disgusting, I'm quite disheartened by the number of women on here who seem to experience revulsion at period blood, even their own.

Thatnovembernight · 29/08/2019 22:16

I am actually half watching Downton Abbey while reading this thread.

I tried to watch Game of Thrones but just couldn’t understand what the fuck was going on or who anyone was. Also the lighting was really weird and everyone looked like they were in front of a green screen even when they were inside.

I haven’t owned a toilet brush since a guest did something unspeakable with my last one about five years ago.

It’s 50/50 whether I answer the door if I’m not expecting anyone. I only answer the phone to numbers I recognise.

I did LTB.

MolyHolyGuacamole · 29/08/2019 22:18

WHAT is the deal with the loo brush!!

Yes! Or the making chicken last more than 2 meals thing? What does that even mean?? Do you mean you cook chicken and...eat it over several meals? Is this a whole chicken? Cutlets?

SpeedyShutter · 29/08/2019 22:18

I don't shower daily and only change towels and bedding every other week or so.

I found a tenner in the corner of a car park a few years ago and I kept it.

MolyHolyGuacamole · 29/08/2019 22:20

@CatteStreet so how do these loo brush hating MNetters clean the toilet bowl? Oh god, do I want to know?

shithappens123 · 29/08/2019 22:20

When I’m tired I sometimes fake it 😜

LoonyLunaLoo · 29/08/2019 22:21

I watched this series of Love Island and enjoyed it 🙊 there I said it!

cricketmum84 · 29/08/2019 22:21

I don't wash bedding or towels as much as I should
When the kids were little I HATED bathtime, found it hugely tedious and couldn't understand these parents who used it as happy bonding time
I own 3 loo brushes
My DHs laugh really really annoys me

cricketmum84 · 29/08/2019 22:22

@MolyHolyGuacamole certainly not with bleach... 😂 oh god don't mention the bleach!
