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?

I used a toilet brush today

I did too but thought we don't say this out LOUD 😂 oh the chastisement!

I've left my washing out to be darked on

I do that regularly this time of the year.
I regard it as good time management but my mother would think it sinful 😁

XenoBitch · 15/08/2022 21:47

I let my dog pre-wash my plates.

I don't have children! Only on Mumsnet for entertainment and enlightenment. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Ditto!

MrsRinaDecker · 15/08/2022 22:10

I don’t think full fat natural yogurt and berries tastes good.. give me a sugary muller light or Lidl’s dupe any day!
I've never made chicken stock from a carcass.
I like McDonald’s.
When my dc were toddlers, I let them have fruit shoots.

Sally2791 · 15/08/2022 22:11

Washing outside as we speak.
Bedding washing is irregular.

Love a good Wetherspoons meal

PopcornAndWine · 15/08/2022 22:23

I love these threads Smile

I don't drive and yet somehow I am still a fully-functioning member of society with a well-paid job.

I love my MIL, she's awesome.

My DH plays video games a lot but I haven't dumped him for being a lazy, irresponsible man-child.

I hate the Spoons owner but still sometimes go because they are cheap and child-friendly. In fact, I think tomorrow evening I am going to see if my friend fancies bringing the kids to the playground and then popping into Spoons with them for a sneaky glass of wine for us and chips for them after Wink

I recently got a tumble dryer and it's fucking awesome.

I think it's perfectly fine for a wedding to have a cash bar, in fact it's absolutely the norm among everyone I know.

In a similar vein, if someone invites me out for a meal to celebrate a birthday or whatever, I assume the bill will be split and not that the person inviting is paying for everyone!

stillvicarinatutu · 15/08/2022 22:24

I've got more

I do not hang my knickers on the line the right way out

I do not colour co-ordinate my pegs either .

RayneDance · 15/08/2022 22:24

There will be a mumsent rally, brandishing loo brushes in defiance.

I.... don't take my shoes off at home, non of us is do unless it's raining or really yucky outside

I hate having to take my shoes off in other people's homes especially when I'm observed doing it..

I was given shoe covers recently at a pool,I think shoe 👟 off people should supply them.

I absolutely agree with screens ( headphones)in restaurants for children who need that and parent's who need that.

I think Disney films are joyous and wonderful.

I don't believe sugar makes children go mad.
I've never wiped a skirting, sometimes plates sit out all night... washing sometimes a week.

Bedding roughly 2/ 3 week cycle.

I don't believe in sitting around a table every single night.

Cosy tv diners are fine.

I am firmly of the belief that sometimes posters want a laugh on here and that doesn't make them trolls.

Sometimes they make take a nasty situation and write about it in a deliberately funny way.

That's entertainment, laughter and what MN is also here for.

I adore the daily mail and I can't stand the guardian. That doesn't mean I don't read other source's for information when I choose..

Everyone on here is an avid daily mail reader because they all read it and apologise to each other 🤣.

I've also never ever bulked anything out with lentils.

I don't mind the DC spending too much time on the computer or watching film here because we balance it out.

I am honest with my emotions in front of the DC,I cry,I get frustrated, I apologise,I say when I'm being whatever and explain why.

What’s this about toilet brushes? Washing is always left out being darked upon, but if it is rained upon, I do rinse it again. My dog sleeps on/not in my bed, I change sheets very infrequently, I have never eaten in Wetherspoons but am now curious. I drink more than I should. I don’t ever exercise but my job keeps me moving constantly. Yoga sporadically when feeling in the mood. Sleep less than five hours a night, given up casual smoking twelve years ago. Many other sins too naughty to mention.

tolerable · 15/08/2022 22:28

wetherspoons is in my(action related\caw me a sectarian)opinion.not a sin

MiniPumpkin · 15/08/2022 22:28

Purchased toilet brushes with great delight in ikea today.

but most un - mumsnetty - I am yet to file to ‘leave the ba*tstard because he had a long day and did not do all allocated household chores for a Monday 💁‍♀️

HappySM1 · 15/08/2022 22:31

My brother had a penis beaker growing up

Ineke · 15/08/2022 22:34

And more, my dog also pre washes my plates sometimes. My DH plays video games and that’s fine as it gives me some space. I am vegetarian except when we go out to a fancy restaurant. I use every possible short cut when it comes to cooking Christmas Dinner. Auntie Bessie over Delia.

Ineke · 15/08/2022 22:42

What is a penis beaker and a sex towel please?

Ineke · 15/08/2022 22:52

So a thick wipe goes into a nappy sack and into a bin. Too much plastic pollution for me. I think a toilet brush is a greener choice, especially the ones where you can just replace the brush part.

BuckarooBanzai · 15/08/2022 22:53

I love spoons.
My MIL is a dragon.
I have a favourite Stepchild.
My dream is to go on holiday to Benidorm!
My DP is a working class manual worker and I think he is gorgeous, he'd really like a toilet brush though but we can't have one. Them's the rules!

loopycurtains · 15/08/2022 23:02

Some more sins from me...

I went away last weekend and left my washing outside for 3 whole spidery nights.

I think my neighbours are awesome.

I put my knickers in the same wash load as my other clothes.

Wait ... hang on ... @loopycurtains some people don't put knickers in with other clothes?!
What new level of batshittery is this?

loopycurtains · 15/08/2022 23:10

@ThreeImaginaryBoys 😂😂😂
Yep, I have definitely read that a few times on here.

Rantismymiddlename · 15/08/2022 23:20

I did not know about Toast until today and now I do I can't understand how anyone would pay £245 on a shapeless cardigan that looks like it should be in a shepherd's hut in the outer Hebrides.
I use my tumble dryer every day.
I put food in the normal bin because I can't stand the flies and smell food bins create.
I drive my dog to the park to walk him.
I sometimes don't check/care whether my children have brushed their teeth.
I absolutely love drinking lots of wine.

This post has totally made my day!
