You must love MIL even if she is a bitch toad from hell

You must never say anything negative about anyone on benefits

Admitting to having no friends

Every 3rd person is NC with their family

Having a nanny

I’m sure I have more

@KKslidoff

A cleaner and leaving your husband are the solution to all of life's problems.
To be fair, these probably would solve a lot of my problems 🤣

@Stellaris22

"That Jeremy Corbyn is to blame for everything that's wrong in the country despite never running it"

Definitely this!

We're reading different threads! There's a lot of hate for the current government if you want it.

That things written on MN are so hilarious they cause people to 'literally spit their tea out'.

gobbledygoook · 29/01/2022 15:39

Every child is SEN, every man is a narcissist, everyone hates their PIL, boundaries must be rigid and enforced with aplomb etc

KatherineJaneway · 29/01/2022 15:39

Everyone hates any who is outgoing. Anyone outgoing is SO draining; tjose who hate them have to stay in a dark room for 12 days after meeting anyone who enjoys conversation.

I thought that was a spa day or a night in a hotel?Grin

Well - they are governing (theoretically), he never was!

@NuffSaidSam

On MN if you want a dog, you should get a retired greyhound.

That's just good advice.

I rest my case. Grin
DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 29/01/2022 15:42

Being told to spend an evening in a hotel cos your husband has pissed you off, or going for a spa day.

His n her's massage at home then you feed steak to the Masseuse.

Soubriquet · 29/01/2022 15:43

You must not, under any circumstances, open the door when someone knocks if you aren’t expecting anyone Hmm

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 29/01/2022 15:43

Beat me to it @Grilledaubergines 🤣

StoneofDestiny · 29/01/2022 15:44

That you have every right to make as much noise in your garden as it's 'your space' and stuff your neighbours
That having your kids jump off beds and scream daily is 'normal noise' neighbours have to tolerate living below you or beside you

To be fair, that worked very well with my first marriage Grin
Fridayfriyay · 29/01/2022 15:45

You lack the ability to tell if food is OK ro eat by sight or smell or even taste.

No one shouts at their kids ever

It's not ok to tell your partner to fuck off or use any profanity even in the heat of an argument.

You are able to come up with a whitty/ cutting comeback on the spot in any situation

Grilledaubergines · 29/01/2022 15:46

That any male who gives a firm opinion on something is controlling.

The importance of the term is being lost through overuse. “My husband said he’d prefer broccoli to cauliflower for dinner”. “You have a controlling DH. Time to get your ducks in a row.”

Every single item of clothing is dated, try hard or only suits a tall slim 20 year old.
Everyone's DD is naturally beautiful, and everyone's DS is 6 foot 2.
Any work related issue can be resolved by going straight to HR.
The police are there for whenever your neighbour displeases you.

BubblyJu · 29/01/2022 15:47

Never give your kids your husbands name

StoneofDestiny · 29/01/2022 15:47

That having your neighbour dumping cars and fridges in their front garden, pilling up big bags or never cutting their lawn shouldn't bother you at all - ever

OldTinHat · 29/01/2022 15:47

Everyone has a husband or partner or is a single parent.

Katya213 · 29/01/2022 15:49

You are not allowed to have an negative opinion on somebody of colour without being branded a racist, when their question was nothing to do with colour, just the persons personality.

GirlInACountrySong · 29/01/2022 15:49

cross the road when they see a smoker...

Knowivedonewrong · 29/01/2022 15:51

Lots of Katie Price supporters.

@BubblyJu

Never give your kids your husbands name
Don’t give the kids your husband’s name, but absolutely do get married ‘for protection’. Even if you’re the higher earner.
