Forgive me mumsnet, for I have sinned...

[AlternativelyWired]

Lighthearted!

My sin: I went to a Wetherspoons whilst on holiday in England. Not once, but twice The food was great and I have 3 children with very restricted tastes in food. I'm the same so the menu suited us all. I feel bad about going there knowing the mumsnet consensus on the guy who runs Wetherspoons but it met our needs. I am a Catholic and feel like I need to say a few Hail Marys as a result.

What are your mumsnet sins?

I have no set bedtimes or wake up times for my kids.

Kids allowed phone from age 8 and I don't take it away at night. I just have good parental filters.

Let my kids watch older films and Tv shows with me, ie a 6 year old watching 12 or a12 year old watching 18.

Kids expected to do my religion until they leave home or are 21 and only then can they do their own thing if they want.

Have a dog that's not allowed on soft furnishings and I don't feel cruel as it's a dog not a dog baby.

Am vegetarian and won't cook meat for my meat eating child. She would never have eaten meat had I not married a idiot. Will cook fish though, sometimes.

Don't care if my child refuses to go out, who needs fresh air and walking outside is underrated.

Only just got covid vaac and only to save cost of pcr as need to go abroad to visit sick relative. Left it for a minimum of 18 months from rollout to see if any zombies appeared.

I frequently hang my washing on the line before I go to bed as its easier than trying to navigate my toddler stealing wet socks. My washing is almost always darked on 🤷‍♀️

I don't batch cook anything - or meal plan
I change my bed sheets when I can be bothered
I answer the door when someone knocks on it
I take parcels in for my neighbours and pop round with them if she doesn't come for them

I live on my own and I have a cleaner who changes my bed sheets.

I love my friends ' children who range from toddler to preteen but I have no interest in new born babies. In fact I've never held a baby and never wanted to.

Barring current heat wave - when absolute necessity

I do not shower everyday or wash my hair every day.

I went All Inclusive. And had Spoons at the airport!

Me too. Wasn't it us who ruined everything for future generations?
Oh dear never mind 💥💥

I also don't change the pillowslips every week, I just flip them over too, so they go two weeks before being washed!

I know, I should be ostracised for ever for my sins! 😂😂

I have tried wobbling my head but it's never changed my attitude to anything.

Nothing just the media spreading false news over the first lockdown. Said they refused to furlough them which wasn't true. Staff said they were but told they could get another job if they wanted to.

I absolutely loved reading this!! 😁

Was happy for anyone to hold DT’s - if they wanted to give their bottles and change their nappies, bath and dress them - all the better!

My kids have cutesy names ending in ie and don't have a proper Sunday name!
I'm a size 24 and only buy one seat on the plane!!
I don't like Gin and drink cheap Rose wine!
Sometimes my kids have 2 mcdonalds in the same week!

I don't shower every day. I do wash though

Another Future Ruining Boomer here!

I no longer go out of my way to help anyone
I clean only when I feel like it
Am overweight but not bothered
I go a few days a week without exercise of any kind
I drink to excess at least once a fortnight

I formula fed my daughter and made the bottles up 24 hours in advance and left them in the fridge. We did not have a perfect prep machine and view them as being glorified kettles.

We let our dog lick our daughter's face (she is 18 months old). He loves it, she finds it hilarious and we call it 'immunity building' as she's very rarely ill.

A squirt of Harpic and, if necessary, a gloved hand wielding a bit of cotton wool or, in extreme cases, a small piece cut from a plastic scourer.

I like Jack Monroe.

@Devpatelslaughingeyes Me too! I only discovered Jack from the thread on here last week and her recipes are my new fave

Well op if it's competitive sinning you're into I'll raise your 'Hail Mary's" to ten complete cycles of the Rosary!
My 10 deadly MN sins:

1. love a Spoons, been a couple of times for breakfast with the kids.
2. I don't just leave washing out to get darkened on...I have been known to leave it in the washing machine for several days😬.
3. I eat beef! 4)even worse than spoons I like a Mac D! 5)I don't iron
4. my garden is currently growing weeds not growing my own...do blackberries count as growing your own?
5. my dc have lots of screen time.
6. I've escaped family this hols by getting up very early on the flimsy excuse of walking pooch before it's too hot and gone swimming with said pooch in the river (dc would love to come with me but I love having some quiet time)
7. in order to do the above I've been known to go bed in swimming cozy, shorts and t.shirt so as not to wake the household
8. and my biggest sin? I'm loving this heat and having a dry summer holiday!

Agreed-and whilst I don't think smacking should be the default option, there is a place for it when other methods have failed.

I live on a livery yard that has recently been taken over by a very posh outfit. We now have a number of young tanned things working with the horses and there's a general buzz in the air which I've enjoyed.

Following a night shift last night, I was awoken by a couple of them doing an accurate (if not melodious) rendition of Grease songs at top volume as they did all the things they do with horses (outside my window)

I did not go to war with them, but smiled to myself and remembered what it was like to have the endless hot summers of my teenage years. This appears to be a cardinal MN sin to not be immediately outraged by people living their life outside your house 😆

I order clothes from Shein

and been very happy with them

I still wear tunics, leggings and a decorative scarf - I am beyond reproach.

I drink alcohol at least 4 nights of the week...sometimes a whole bottle of wine each time.

And I buy primark and shein clothes. Sorry.
