To ask for only on Mumsnet facts/opinions? ( light-hearted)

[bluelollipop99]

I'll start....

It doesn't matter you have two kids and have lived together five years , he's your boyfriend, not your partner if you are not married...

You are a terrible mother if you introduce a partner of less than two years to your children...

The on the beach advert is mentally scarring...

It is completely unreasonable, ( and a bit slutty), to be annoyed that your high earning, healthy husband in a house with multiple spare bedrooms refuses to have a second child with you. Being annoyed about this means you simply don't love your first child enough. On Mumsnet land, having a second child requires NATO level strategy discussions, and only complete narcissists enter into a marriage with a general expectation they'll probably have 2 children.

I can't help but think it is really silly to have another child in the hope that you get the right flavour. That's before the threads where people are hysterically saying they're reduced to endless sobbing because the baby they wanted isn't the right kind of baby and they're not sure how they can get past it.

In most cases it isn’t that black and white - it’s more, wanting another baby and would like them to be a boy/girl. I mean if you wish them away when they’ve actually arrived, or neglect them, that’s a different matter, but we all have hopes and dreams for our kids when they’re nothing but an abstract idea if that makes sense? I also completely understand reasons for preferring a certain sex. If you scratch the surface it usually goes beyond pink clothes, I mean the way men are viewed on here, it’s no wonder women are apprehensive about raising them is it!

On Mumsnet everyone hates Gel/ Shellac and acrylic nails as well and French manicures are "so old fashioned.'

Hen parties have to be elaborate and extravagant multi day sagas.

You should have a massive white wedding even if you already have multiple children.

Nah, the MN opinion is that both of these things are entitled and Bridezillary. Hen parties should be one bottle of wine and 15 straws at the local pub, and you should spend no more than £2.87 on your wedding.

Oh have we done line eyes and nubs?

Line eyes: a negative pregnancy test is cause for champagne and celebrations if you take a photo of it in enough shadow that somebody can squint and possibly perceive a faint mark. IRL, if it is positive it is really fucking obvious. Somebody saying “my negative pregnancy test taken far too early to be valid is now sitting next to me” doesn’t change that.

Nubs: a shadow on a photo of a still US image at 8 weeks can be definitively sexed by somebody staring at it on their phone, even when the sonographer, with access to the moving images and a decent screen, couldn’t tell. IRL, you have a 50/50 chance of being right so might as well toss a coin.

In Mumsnet-land adoption and infertility have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. Even suggesting a close friend who longs to be a mum but is experiencing infertility/ multiple miscarriage might explore adoption is the biggest insult ever.

Then you must be a "cool girl" 😂

"I'm not a step-parent but here's my advice on managing your blended family"

The advice: You clearly hate children, you should just leave. That poor child!

Sewww QUiRkY 🙃

That if you don’t have life insurance that you are a feckless and unfit mother.

You must only buy your children 4 Christmas presents or you are totally ruining them.

Mumsnet SUV owners justify their hideous vehicles by:

1. Always living at the end of a 5 mile stretch of track which is an impassable quagmire for 10 months of the year.
2. Being in possession of one or more children/relatives who are incapable of getting in and out of a normal vehicle for a variety of spurious reasons.
3. Needing the extra room for Octavia's cello/lacrosse sticks/horse riding paraphernalia.
4. Having a dodgy knee/hip/back/whatever.

Oh, and they're all perfect drivers who never take 15 goes to park in a space at Waitrose, never park illegally whilst on the school run and always pull in tight to a hedge because they aren't worried about the paintwork.

If the husband is the bread winner, then the woman should do all the house work, shopping, childcare, organisation, planning, and not complain and ideally have a job themselves.

Dads can't possibly soothe a new born baby

If your partner or child is 3hrs late home after saying they were 10mins away it is controlling to be worried about them

However tracking their movements via Airways or their phone is perfectly normal and healthy.

Yeah what is it with spending a fortune on 'sensitive' tests and taking them from like 1dpo?

😂😂😂

dad's will never be as good as a parent as mums, children need their mums biologically, they couldn't care less about their sperm donors.

i have parental controls on my 17 year olds phone and have all porn sights blocked

OP: my boyfriend has 3 female friends he's known for 32 years - i met him 9 months ago
Comments: he's a cheating so and so and you should get rid

you can never like your husbands family, they can't be trusted and you should never let them near your baby

all parents who drop their children off at 7am should be dressed immaculately and not wear pajamas despite the fact i have never spoken to that parent in my life and have no clue what their situation is

kids shouldn't be paid for chores but in the same breath, children shouldn't expect their parents to buy them 'fun' clothes they should pay for those themselves except the child in question is 14 with no chance of getting a job without being 16 and/or having gcses

If you drive at even 1mph under the speed limit you are a dangerous menace who shouldn't be allowed behind a wheel

I feel very seen right now, this is my life

@Imamumgetmeoutofhere it's the biggest con going. Unfortunately perpetuated by the toxic femininity seen here day in day out

Haven’t read the whole thread but… any picture (moving or otherwise) of people performing sexual acts is disgusting, degrading and possibly illegal. Women should only masturbate to their own imagination, men who have ever used porn should be left immediately because they are probably a sex offender.

😂😂😂 so true.

Of course all childcare and chores should be equal, when you work 20 hours a week and your husband works 45

1. Eating more than 1000 calories a day is greedy and their dc live off fresh air.
2. £80k a year salary is poverty, especially as a huge house, brand new Range Rover and expensive private school fees are essentials.
3. OP’s step daughter, who only lives with her and DH twice a month, should be entitled to her own room (the biggest room). OP’s daughters, who live there full time, should share the box room.
4. 45 is a normal age to be a FTM and parents under 30 are basically teen parents.
5. It’s normal to put a tracker on your 16 year old DC’s phone.
6. 18 year old’s should go on an expensive gap year travelling the world.
7. Dc shouldn’t be allowed to go on sleepovers at any age.
8. All boys are vile creatures destined to sexually assault girls and all girls are innocent damsels in distress.
