To ask you what things you only know about through being on here

[nonevernotever]

Mine include

The wonder that is snag tights
That sainsbury make the best leggings
That people eat some very strange mixtures
The really apt names for hitherto nameless concepts like Spoonyfucker and cocklodger

That some people don’t have a toilet brush.

No is a complete sentence.
I used to think that sentences needed a verb.

graupel

Mooncups. Never heard of them before and now I wouldn’t be without mine.

Limerence...

velveteenfruitbowl beat me to the toilet brush thing.

Another snag tights convert, also I was just convinced to buy a Phillips Lumea.

That babies’ vests have those necks so you can pull them down their body instead of over their head if they’re covered in shit or puke.

How good frozen mash is.

That it's a very common occurrence to keep finances separate in serious relationships.

That spending money on your children at Christmas is considered crass 🙄

Using emojis to make a point is considered passive aggressive... 🤷‍♀️

Just a few days ago learned about Nine Lessons Carol services with fire and brimstone, never heard of it in my life.

How hardnosed some people are about children turning 18 and are pretty much on their own from then on.

That netmums is shit!

Frozen mash
Keep cuddling your teenager
Both sooo Important!
Never heard of snag Snag tights but will go to investigate!

Bleaching door frames.... But think I could do without knowing that others do that actually

A lot of people might as well brick their front door up as they never answer it.

That people do the Father Christmas thing differently. I grew up with the stocking from FC and the rest of my presents from my parents and I’ve kept this up with my DD. Reading here I’ve discovered that some people do everything from FC, and I discovered just last week some people don’t wrap children’s presents!

@Rainatnight 🤯

And I have a toddler!

C25K and it has changed my life

I knew so many but did not know how to describe them. I learned when I read Mumsnet.

"Cocklodger"

That other people also don't answer their doors

That some people howl at the stuff they read on here.

Also some people stand up to wipe their bum.

Reading here I’ve discovered that some people do everything from FC

Yes, this. And that in some homes that includes presents from everyone else, not even just from parents. That is SO WEIRD to me. I would never have guessed people did that.

That other people also don't answer their doors.

That I was a bad person for using bleach and having a toilet brush.

that people put bloody D(darling)in front of describing people

really gets on my last nerve

people dont talk like that in real life why on here

and in this day and age there are still so many women who are pushovers and door mats when it comes to partners and mother in laws

What a penis beaker is 🙊
Not sure if my life is richer or poorer for that little nugget though...

@BarkandCheese seriously??

That some people have literally no idea that other people make different choices from them. For valid reasons. Without being monsters.

Like wearing shoes inside the house. Even on carpet.
Like making everyone take their shoes off on entering the house. Everyone.
