Forgive me mumsnet, for I have sinned...

Lighthearted!

My sin: I went to a Wetherspoons whilst on holiday in England. Not once, but twiceBlush 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?

Clearly the response on this thread suggest the biggest sinner is in fact the poster who smokes in her house, in front of her children.

I mean, they are adults, but still 😱. She needs to be punished. Someone should park over her driveway.

I've enjoyed the heatwave. And yes, I have worked during it.

I know, lock me up and throw away the key.

I'm amazed you still have the ovaries to keep coming back to this thread, @vodkaredbullgirl !

I applaud your not giving a fuck-ness! 😁👏

Smoke in the house, in front of my kids.

This is not something to be proud of.

And another…..me and my husband have trackers on our phones. I’m a cyclist and after a bad accident last year, it reassures my husband I’ve arrived safely at work. According to MN though he’s controlling me.

I wear shoes inside other people’s houses. Even if they have stupidly got white carpets.

Excellent 😂

That’s not just a sin on mumsnet.

Strugglingtodomybest · 14/08/2022 12:30

I forgot the doggie pre-wash!

And "letting" my DH have time and money consuming hobbies - as a pp said, it means that I too can piss off out of the house for hours on end.

When DS2 was a baby I let him sleep on his front (else he wouldn't sleep).

Strugglingtodomybest · 14/08/2022 12:31

vodkaredbullgirl you've definitely won the thread!

soundsofthesixties · 14/08/2022 12:36

I fed my 4 month old the yolk of a lightly boiled egg. This was back in the 70s when no one sucked their breath in when I told them.

Always smoke when I've been drinking
Used to be a landlord
Leave washing out overnight
Have a toilet brush
Hate cleaning

It's not just on Mumsnet that's considered shitty parenting Hmm

tirednewmumm · 14/08/2022 12:41

I love weddings and other big family events ConfusedGrin according to Mumsnet I'm one of a tiny minority

I love a sex pond and covet one for my own small garden (which already boasts a trampoline, slide, large bbq and déclassé garden furniture).

picklemewalnuts · 14/08/2022 12:50

All the people still panicking about your poor poor adult children, @vodkaredbullgirl !

Perhaps we should call SS and ask them to block your car in.

TheKeatingFive · 14/08/2022 12:50

surely using a brush is preferable to actually sticking your hand in the water and cleaning off the shit gloves or no gloves 🤢

can anyone who is anti loo brush explain?

Ive asked this many times. Never got a satisfactory answer

ThinkingFace · 14/08/2022 12:50

I really don't like baby led weaning!!! Sorry mumsnet. After a few choking incidents, I'm very cautious. Both children have been late teethers and mush/liquid food it is until more teeth.

powergrip · 14/08/2022 12:51

I like the Weatherspoons plates!
