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?

Has done the biggest sin, according to some people on this thread.

I’m loving all these people coming on the thread, a thread about unconventional habits, and being horrified at the unconventional habits 🤣

Louise0701 · 14/08/2022 01:03

My son doesn’t have the “long name” on his birth certificate
We have a hot tub and a garden bar (and neighbours)
I frequently leave my washing out over night

@AlternativelyWired As a convert, I think your thread may be idolatrous OP. 😀
I don't really believe in that sort of ethical consumerism, plus it's a luxury not everyone can afford. The 'right on' stuff tends to be more expensive.

So if you got food you enjoyed that met your needs and was a bargain, that's great as far as I'm concerned. Good for you. Smile

My Mumsnet sins- well I'm into Catholicism and I take that seriously, I don't pick and choose which bits I believe. So that means my beliefs (which I get from the Bible and Catechism) contradict a lot of MN-ers beliefs and the leftie ethos of the site. So I've had to hold my tongue (well, fingers) or I'd be quickly banned for following God in my beliefs.

it’s talking about mumsnet sins, ie silly inconsequential things that mn are faux shocked about (as you well know). Yours is actually shocking and you should be ashamed of yourself for risking your kids’ health. And don’t try saying you only started smoking indoors around them when they became adults

Oh btw, I'm not the only 1 on MN that has smoked in front of their kids.

No you haven't.

My washing is outside for the second night running. I make bacon sarnies for the builders and everyone who comes to my house can use the loo. I am having a long-term, very fun, affair. My husband is a bit of an arse but I won’t ever LTB. I drink far too much. I like my neighbours. Have never been NC with anyone. I work full time, do all the cooking and cleaning and like it. I really enjoy my teens’ company. I vape. I can only make a chicken last two days.

@iamshergar you’re being a bit of a bully! Why are you picking on @vodkaredbullgirl when someone on this thread has said they though Donald Trump was OK?

Lalliella · 14/08/2022 01:17

Please will someone tell me why it’s a sin to have a toilet brush???

TinyRedBikini · 14/08/2022 01:18

Oh and I fucking love my hot tub.

Agree.

Do you think these women they’re telling off like there fucking children are gonna toddle off and self-flagellate on a rock? I imagine @vodkaredbullgirl scrolling this thread phone in one hand and enjoying a drag on a fag in the other
