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?

But it's not net its voile 😀

I parked in a private driveway that I didn’t have permission to be in earlier.

My washing is also darkened on most nights.

Well that’s a bit different I guess. Smoking in the house is still yuck though. Not sure that’s redeemable with a few Hail Marys 😁

I will have a few vodka's though.

I have never weaponised spa days.

I don't like skinny-jeans-and-converse.

My DC didn't walk themselves to school at the age of 4.5.

Also my children, academically, are average. Average scores, reading groups and achievements.

And I’m 100% OK with that

I peed in the shower 😱

I'm buying a house with DP and We've only been together almost 4 years !!

I've essentially been told I should live on my own forever to protect my assets for dd.

Actually I started dating before dd was 18, which is a MN syn all of its own.

vodkaredbullgirl · 13/08/2022 23:32

I charge my 2 dd's rent

Cantgetausername87 · 13/08/2022 23:37

I have never bleached a skirting board nor washed a wall.
I find clothes from Toast disgusting.
I formula fed my baby.

BorderlineObsessedWithYou · 13/08/2022 23:38

My dogs bark. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not a massive fan of weatherspoons re morals. However, I did very much enjoy BFing my 3 week old while eating chips and drinking a glass of wine. It felt like the one place in the world I could do that and still be relatively classy. And the chips were good.

I put my washing out this evening deliberately to get darked on. I give no shits and it will be lovely and dry in the morning when I want to wear the clothes.

QueenOfThorns · 13/08/2022 23:39

My crimes are many, I’m afraid:
The washing is out getting darked on
There’s a toilet brush next to every toilet
We have a grey bedroom with a grey sofa
I still wear my skinny jeans, or leggings with a tunic or dress
I rinse my rice and then boil it rather than use the absorption method Shock

I don’t think there are enough Hail Marys in the world….

oopsfellover · 13/08/2022 23:39

Not only do I not always change bedding immediately after a guest has left, I sometimes leave it there for the next guest.

I celebrate my birthday to the fullest extent I can, despite being an adult

I love a hot tub

SaharaSahara · 13/08/2022 23:41

@maddiemookins16mum interested to hear your view on kids in nappies past 3yo

happinesslovescompany · 13/08/2022 23:41

I voted brexit
I read the DM
I also love a 'spoons!

What's the morals thing then? The newspapers are continuously apologising for the misinformation they've put out regarding Wetherspoons.

My husband was a bit shit today because he was hungover so I had a bit more work to do with the kids. I didn't the leave the bastard.

😂😂😂

I really don’t get the whole fascination with leave the bastard everytime some poor bloke didn’t put the bin out.

I really, really don’t believe that some (many) of the mumsnet posts actually happened. Surely people have more, er, life skills?

MaisyMoo2022 · 13/08/2022 23:42

I judge people who smoke inside in front of their kids.

I have grey walls and a grey sofa ... forgive me 🙏🏻

Hahaha you are forgiven my child

In defence of spoons!

I hate Wetherspoon’s, brought my washing in earlier, don’t have a toilet brush and haven’t got ANY children. A chicken would last me a fortnight, mainly because I don’t like chicken.

I think I’m a hologram.

Iflyaway · 13/08/2022 23:44

I'm laughing at all the scrumpled-up noses commenting on people smoking at home > HORROR! In front of their kids!!<

I do. 4 generations now.

I bet they all drive cars.

I don't.
