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 RTFT.

I go in straight away with a bit of toilet roll and wipe it off. Hand prob gets toilet water on it but no actual shit. I then thoroughly wash my hands. It's only more tricky when someone (kids or exh when he lived here) leave it to dry. Then you have to use a fucking chisel 🤣

But what do you do when the shit is under the water line...?

l am growing older beautifully.

Gave my kids Cheerios for breakfast.
This can be switched up with coco pops or Oreo cereal sometimes.
I also give them raisins

why use your hands to do what can be outsourced to the brush, is my question?

I'm not a total anti-brusher but they do slightly seem a bit yucky unless cleaned after every use (as my hands are). And just extra clutter in the bathroom which in my case is already pretty cluttered! I might just get one though to broaden my life experience. Living in the edge as always 🤣🤣🤣

That’s not funny; that’s disgusting and putting your children’s health at risk. How selfish.

That's normal right? I mean who shares food? Not me and not Joey.

Good question (love how I'm now the skid mark expert🤣). I just shove some bleach down and they seem to go pretty fast. If I had guests coming over the rubber gloves come out...
OK OK I'm buying a brush now!!!

But it's really not hard to do this, which is why I don't understand the strong feelings on here.

You go girl 🤣

I never ask my DH to do any childcare or housework. Ever. I do it all. And I don’t mind!!

I have tattoos
I'm 23 and still live at home with my mom

@DixonD

i presume you missed the bit when she said her kids are 22 and 25?

they are adults and if they are still choosing to live at home with their mother then they just have to accept whatever she wants to do in her own home

@TheKeatingFive

i don’t want my hand to get toilet water on it, it’s the same water that the shit is in - hence I use a bog brush

Oh do 1 will you, they are adults

Yeah me too.

But on here, the hand is somehow preferable?!?!

How do you clean a loo brush though? My hands I clean thoroughly and am confident they are shit free 🤣. May even use alcohol gel. I don't want to rub a loo brush though as then I am touching it and may as well have not bothered and gone in with the hands!

Oh I forgot to say,

• my mum has my DD stay over 3 days a week to give me a break
• I’m always quick to leave the kids (3m & 15m old) with their dad to go out for drinks or go to the club
• I have no desire to own a home

I've committed so many MN crimes I should qualify for a lifetime ban.

I'm a teacher.
I'm a cyclist.
I absolutely love my MIL.
I have never heard of Toast let alone shopped there.
I always answer my door.
Within hours of their birth, my parents and in-laws were in the hospital meeting their new granddaughters. I did not consider this strange or unreasonable.
I buy from Shein.
I have a tattoo.
A chicken lasts one meal in our house.
My washing is always out getting darked on, sometimes for days on end.
I would rather eat my own hair than go on a spa day.
I have never spat out my tea or wobbled my head.
I don't find 'snapped and farted' remotely funny.
I drink too much.
I hate prosecco.

I'm sure there are more. I should probably get my coat.

I flush the loo once I've finished scrubbing with the brush and let the flushing water rinse it clean. Then I replace it in its holder and squirt some bleach over it. After 2 or 3 times, bleachy water builds up in the bottom of the brush holder and I just tip it into the loo. Sounds gross but I'd far rather do that than stick my hands down the loo. 😂

How do you clean a loo brush though? My hands I clean thoroughly and am confident they are shit free

Spray it with bathroom cleaner. Flush, rinse it as the water comes down. Repeat if necessary. Replace in the holder with a bit of bleach/bathroom cleaner at the bottom.

Very straightforward.

But you eat and prepare food with your hands; you don't with a toilet brush (well, I don't) It's far more important to keep your hands away from the shit... doesn't matter if a toilet brush is a little germy.
I mostly squirt bleach in my toilets at night, but if I use the toilet brush I scrub with bleach, then rinse under the flush. The thought of sticking my hands in is 🤮

You be ok, I'm the one to be hung drawn and quartered.
