To ask about your fav Mumsnet cliches

Ltb being mine.

Cos and Uniqlo are the answer to all clothing dilemmas

Tights are evil and guaranteed to cause thrush

You want your friends and family to remember your birthday? What are you, 5? Stop being so needy and immature.

People seriously talking about things being U or Non-U. Even though they're not a Mitford and we're not in the 1930s.

I really, really dislike people still thinking it's funny to use terms like 'wank badger' and 'cock puffin' or whatever it is. Makes me cringe when I see it.
I also hate, 'No is a complete sentence'. It's not even correct, so outs the user as talking absolute nonsense.
I always flinch a bit at the ones who have to bring a thread down. Someone will be having a light-hearted moan about their husband eating all the biscuits and leaving crumbs in the bed and someone will come on to say that they would love to clear their husband's crumbs out of bed but the can't because they're dead.
Also, the smug ones who reply to a desperate mother posting about something terrible and out of character their teenager has done with something like, 'Goodness me, my children wouldn't dream of doing something like this when they're teenagers because I'm a much better parent than you"

'just move' when the average cost of 'just moving' is over 8 grand

Get counseling.
Either very expensive or a very long wait. And suggested for every little thing.

All salads are HUGE

All chilli comes in a MASSIVE POT

Bread is always CRUSTY

Butter is always PROPER and served in LASHINGS

Alongside a NICE bottle of wine and POSH CHOCS

I took my user name from the last thread about crusty bread.

Constantly yes we're all 21st century Enid Blytons!

Seriously hot husband with a Range Rover.

Massive salad. And salad generally, with everything. Meal plans that go:

lasagne and salad
pizza and salad
chicken kiev, hasselback potatoes.....and salad

Do people go to the supermarket every day, to make sure they never run out of salad? Do they have a separate salad fridge? The mind boggles.

There is a returning troll who is obsessed with that rubbish.

On a thread about being a stepmother. Op says my DSC are 11 and 14 we've been married for 25 years and have two children ourselves.
First response, were you the OW?
The total inability by some posters to realise that a woman can become a SM without being the OW.

There was a spate at one time of Mothers Offended That Their Child Wasnt Invited To A Birthday Party because the mother is their friend but the children aren't actually friends, and people getting very upset that someone else's 5 year old, isnt obliged to be their childs best friend.

MN bingo.

‘What would Edith and Rogers sister be called?’ Anything you like, it’s your baby, I couldn’t care less.......

Yes to having a baby at 44 it's young!

The race to be the first to tell some poor woman that has just found out she's being cheated on that she needs an STI test.

A smart ass comment then hth’ pisses me off like in real life people ‘saying sorry, not sorry!’

Ltb because dh raised his voice once ever 🙄
Nc if someone remembers their mum laughed at a silly incident.
And have a

"No" is a complete sentence.

No, it's not. It has to have a verb to be a sentence.

Oh and not answering the door to parents visiting because they were rude not to have a formal invitation

Discutin, fummin, you are not funny.

As an addendum to the 'MN chicken', 'Boil up the carcass for an hour, it will make delicious stock'.

It won't. It will make grey water with a homeopathic hint of chicken. That's not how you make stock.

And 'crusty bread' for 'mopping up' sauces.

Behave yourselves!

'Educate yourself!'....

Others are probably just as educated as you. They just have a different opinion.

‘Lawyer here’ ‘Doctor here’ ‘planner here’

"Why don't you learn to drive?" when the poster is asking about something completely unrelated to their ability to get themselves from A to B.
