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 do like to share food.

I didn't realise people had strong feelings against it until I read about it on here.

Replace in the holder with a bit of bleach/bathroom cleaner at the bottom

Yes, this too!

I try to include all the facts in my one post such as that I smoke in front of my children but they are now adults.
I don’t get annoyed at people who haven’t RTFT and respond to a post which appears to contain all the facts.

I have a whole host of game consoles
I get on with my MIL
I have toilet brushes
I wish the 1st night home with my baby had just been me, DP & baby rather than having the DSC over 🙊
I like a good stereotypical hen do with willy straws.

Do you people use your hands to clean your babies shitty nappies? Or a toilet brush?

Well I don't think a toilet brush is well designed to clean babies nappies, do you?

Its designed to clean toilets. 😂

Do you honestly think babies shitty nappies hold the same kind of bacteria as a toilet bowl?

@Mmmmdanone

a) when using a bog brush you touch the handle, not the bit that goes in the water

b) you can clean toilet brushes as often as you want. Use bleach solution etc

@vodkaredbullgirl I should have added 'I used to smoke like a chimney and largely don't give a fuck about other people's smoking habits'.

I'll probably sound a bit mental here but I actually prefer the smell of a cigarette to the smell of those minging bloody vapes.

I rarely smell cigarette smoke but walk through town or anywhere outside and someone is always puffing clouds of some hideous sickly fruity vapour all over the place.

I've even been stuck in traffic and been able to smell the pong being blown backwards from the vehicle in front into my car.

You be ok, I'm the one to be hung drawn and quartered.
I think the only poster in need of being H,D&Q is the one who hunts foxes and is proud of it

@FlissyPaps

well you can’t clean a baby’s shitty nappy with a toilet brush can you. You have to use your hands, there’s no other option.

with cleaning a toilet it’s very different as there other options - including toilet brush

if there’s a viable alternative I will use that rather then get shit my hands. Regardless of whether I have to use my hands to change a nappy

each to their own I guess

🤷‍♀️

but it seems like some posters are actively choosing and preferring the option of getting shit or water with shit in it on their hands. And coming up with all sorts of weird and irrelevant excuses for their choice to potentially get shit on hands and disregard other alternatives.

so weird!

I accidentally vaped in Co op yesterday

Must have missed that 1, so cruel.

@vodkaredbullgirl You should have said you smoke weed with them. Several posters have mentioned that they do precisely that* and have not faced the backlash you have.

*I'm not judging those that have said they have a spliff with their adult children so please don't jump on me.

I like Greggs
I don’t shower every day
I have a joint bank account and I trust my dh
I prefer working with men than women

I smoked during pregnancy

5......4.....3.....2............

I did this on the bus! 😬

Shame this fun thread is being hijacked by the fags and bog brush haters

Nope. And, shock horror, I use a scoop to clean the cat's shit out of the litter tray. Ought I to be using my hands for that just because size I changed my babies' nappies with them?

No you really don't, I've always felt the same way.

That said I now know a handful if people who use very discreet vapes that don't belch up loads of chenical scented fumes, and I've realised how little I like fag smoke as my mum has started smoking again.

I joined the police
I own a toilet brush and use it
My towels have been on the line for 36 hours
I weaned my second child well before 6 months because she was milk intolerant
I once smacked my daughter when as a teen she told me to F off (she is 25 now and is not mentally scarred for life)
I vape
I drink too much wine
I don't own an air fryer
I sometimes spend a whole day in bed
I have ordered clothes from shein but now prefer Vinted
I have ever been sent a paper plate from Vinted instead of my goods
I have no set routine for house work and have never read fly lady
I'm not going grey gracefully
I dated a 22 year old when I was 47

I'm sure there are more . Blimey , I have rosary beads from the Vatican - might have to do more than say a few Hail Marys ....

Seems people are horrified at my comment😂

My point was what’s so wrong about wiping shit off the toilet bowl with wipes when you can also wipe shit off a baby with wipes.

As long as you’re washing your hands afterwards and keeping the toilets/sinks/babies clean what is the issue.

#fuckbogbrushes they’re ugly.

My point was what’s so wrong about wiping shit off the toilet bowl with wipes when you can also wipe shit off a baby with wipes.

No one said there was anything wrong with wiping shit off a baby.

However if there was a well designed implement that saved me doing that, id use it. Sadly there isn't.

Not as ugly as sticking your hand down the bog, but I guess you do you!

Couldn't agree more.
