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?

Funnily enough the massive salads in spoons are really nice.

For the first time on here I feel normal. Knowing that everyone is a little bit s**t in their lives and not perfect actually lol I’ve been feeling so uptight because I’m not the perfect mother/partner but seeing that you’re all a bit imperfect too is helpful. Thanks Mumsnet 👍

I own a hot tub. Washing regularly darked on. Don’t shower before sex.

This morning’s sin.. I’m still sitting in bed, wearing pyjamas, eating cereal and scrolling on my phone (hangs head in shame and wanders off to mumsnet jail).

I have a live laugh love vinyl wall sticker in our hall 😱😱😱

I will pray for your soul 😵

🤣🤣

There's always one that takes it too far

Also adding;

I have never gone 'nuclear' at anyone, including husband and MIL

I quite like the baylis and harding soaps...

I've occasionally used work as an excuse not to do anything at the weekend,when in fact I was just exhausted and wanted to spend quality time with my cat.

I'm pretty much vegetarian at home but when at my partner's ( won't say bf,we are both seniors) I eat a lot of fish and chips and Chinese buffets.

My DH has a phrase for this when we are asked to do something we don't want to do. He says we have a 'subsequent engagement'.

(Mind you, he only says it to me. Uusally he uses a work excuse or something else).

My late FIL used to say; 'I'm too old to do anything I don't want to'.

Either way life is definitely way too short to not jettison things in favour of spending time with one's cat. Absolutely.

I forgot about the bizarre Mumsnet hatred of Bayliss & Harding! I quite like them, had a couple of gift sets given to me over the years. Never once did I think, "OMG what a shit and thoughtless present"!

("Shit and thoughtless" is a direct quote from a thread I saw on this btw )

I've got Dado Rails and Picture Rails in the hall , they were painted when we bought the house we stripped and stained them.

Our house is 1930s , they are an original decoration ( old NDN concurred )
The rails have never tried to prise themselves off the wall and throw themselves into a Time Machine

For the jackpot is the hot tub a sex pond? 😂

@LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL it most certainly is not!! 😂😂 I have teenagers in the house lol.

Although I did warn my 18 year old and his girlfriend not to turn my lovely new tub into a fetid sex pond the first time they used it alone 😂

Not vaccinated here either (and I remember you from the Covid boards. Anyone unvaccinated there was the literal devil). I also had Covid recently and very mild too. The fact I had it mild actually pissed off some of my real life vehemently pro-vaccine friends.

You poor soul. Did someone break in and put it there?

I have Covid at the moment and am feeling pretty grim.

I'm triple vaxxed! 😒

@XenoBitch nope, I put it there myself! Well - told DH to! 🤣🤣

I like Hotel Chocolat, which is another brand that MN describes as 'overpriced rubbish'.

I let my kids watch tv before school, and sometimes I even let them eat dinner in front of it (although tbf much less often)

I remember you from the Covid boards too @XenoBitch - I think you defended me at least once! We were a small band of despised untouchables - comrades! Gosh they were dark days on there back then weren't they? So glad those days are over. I'm so glad to hear you also had a mild case 😊

@PoxyAndIKnowIt I'm sorry you're feeling unwell. You take care and get well soon. I'm not an anti-vaxxer at all, and think it was right for many (personal choice) It's such a weird and unpredictable virus, in terms of who it affects, and how.
How lovely to have a non-judgemental thread. I guess we're all sinners here, one way or another!

That is very sad.

This is a long thread

I never put the lid down on the loo when I flush it
I dont hate men
I think people should correct people's spelling and grammar on forums
I eat too many processed foods
We dont always recycle properly because its a too much faff
I never use abbreviations to say mum, dad, son etc apart from OH for 'other half'.
