You know you spend too long on mumsnet when

[Bitconfusedhmm]

You realise you haven’t seen certain usernames in a while…the ones who are usually on every thread with over 30 replies…and wonder where they are and if they’re ok!

I need to get out more 🤣

you almost refer to your husband as DH in real life.

1. You suffer FOMO if you don't get to page 4 of AIBU
2. You login and realise you know you have already read 40 of the 50 threads on page1 - even those where the title is unhelpful regarding the subject.

You see the initials CF and immediately think of the mn meaning, not their real name,

When you’ve read everything on trending, despite refreshing several times.

When you try to use strike out in work emails.

You immediately recognise a thread as a zombie - before you open it.

You get irrationally cross when you see a zombie has been revived, especially when you've got caught out and posted on it before you realise.

Someone says something you disagree with and you want to respond with YABU

When you understand that some one can park like a CF. That you DH or OH has a MIL. That your LO and DS4 go to their GP every day after school. Because you do FT and CM is expensive, you'd like to go PT or do MLM but you've head bad things.

You accuse your three-year-old of gaslighting you when they refuse to eat the fishfingers and chips that were their favourite last week

My husband once sent me flowers and wrote from 'DH' as I spend so much time on here 😂😂😂😂

I used tbe words grim and vile in real life recently.
Never been known before.
If I ever say naice I want some to shake me to my senses!

There are some posters I really miss. I’ve mused a couple of times about Bertrand Russell. And where’s Bluntness gone?

When you post on a zombie thread, and then see you posted on that same thread 8 years ago...

When this-> is part of your internal monologue

@Blossomtoes I made a post asking where bluntness100 was gone and it got taken down. Apparently she kicked off and made some crazy post or something not sure really. Someone else said they thought she was back under a new name!

When someone is a bit of a twat and you automatically think to yourself ‘Did you mean to be so rude? and do an imaginary head tilt.

Thankfully I’m not actually at the point of saying it out loud.

Bluntness100 is not well, I think. Seemed to only post to stir things up

You’ve spent all day reading every post on a thread!

Thank you. Sorry to hear that.

I’m glad you asked about Bluntness, @Blossomtoes. I noticed her absence too. I hope she’s ok. I didn’t realise Bertrand had disappeared but hopefully she’s ok too!

When you say ' I add a fucktonne of butter' when describing how you make such good mash in RL!

You get in, and stand in the kitchen for an hour reading threads in active, when ment to be making a cuppa.

.... And use the term RL..

Bless him,
