Things you've learned from this site

[Tueresmuyguapo]

According to recent threads:

Everyone over the age of about 35 looks way younger, constantly mistaken for younger, doesn't have a line on their face yet despite never using suncream, and their nan only used bin juice on their face and smoked 80 fags a day but had beautiful skin at 103 years old.

Everyone had sex with their complete stranger dp within about 4 seconds of meeting them for the first time, their dp moved in that night and never left and they're coming up to 762 years of happy marriage now.

Everybody on here seems to earn 200k in some mysterious job that doesn't seem to exist, they can't quite explain what they do, but they worked their asses off to get to this level of seniority which involves them working 3 hours a week for 2 weeks a year.

Interested to hear any more.

Half of Mumsnet hate their husbands.

as low as half?!

This isn't my experience of mumsnet at all. A lot of posters get angry about unmarried women having children anyway.

Everyone's DH is absolutely gorgeous, looks way younger than they are and everyone comments how good looking they are, they've been scouted by modelling agencies and women are constantly trying to chat them up.

I've not read the thread.

Nobody reads the thread.
but still gives their pearls of wisdom like the previous 500 posts wouldn't have thought of it.

Like this post

Everybody despises NYE, if you do anything other than sit inside with a bowl of gruel for the night then you are being unreasonable.

The posts in the run up to Christmas are heavily weighted towards magic/snuggling/hot chocolate/family time/admiring the lovely lights/chilling but a few hours into Christmas Day (sometimes when it's even still dark!) most of the posts describe an absolute shit-show of rowing/sulking/thoughtlessness/disappointment and unappreciated self-inflicted martyrdom.

One poster did start a thread about their lovely Christmas in an attempt to balance out some of the negativity but it didn't take long for them to be told that they were being boastful and goady for actually having a perfectly pleasant time.

No-ones children pay rent or anything towards bills

Really? My perception is that most posters' DHs are complete arseholes.

A surprising number of people lack any concept of nuance or irony or even a basic sense of humour.

^^ I agree with this! A worrying emphasis on literalism and pedantry!

Oh yeah their DHs are all arseholes too, but apparently all way more gorgeous than their female partners, interestingly

A huge amount of mumsnetters are emetophobic.

I guess there has to be a reason for staying with them.

All men are either complete psychos or gentle, wouldn't hurt a fly types who do all the housecleaning and are constantly making cuppas, no in between.

I was surprised to learn from here how much the two sexes hate each other.

Everyone has been included in a will and their much wealthier DB or DS has been left a disproportionally larger sum 😂

DH texts a female colleague too much and often goes on teams nights out with said colleague.

Wealthy IL’s or friends are stingy gifters.

DMIL is entitled and makes rude comments in front of everyone about OP while expecting OP to cook and wait on them hand and foot/drive DMIL 2 hours home
DH has no spine to support OP

When you are introverted and / or have social anxiety, it's OK to avoid eye contact or talking to anyone at school gates

When other people do it, they're all smug PTA bitches

It is not a gathering of the greatest minds of the western world.

all landlords are bastards
all tenants are wonderful

(above def not true from personal experience)

Everyone’s husband is an amazing Dad but treats their wife like an absolute sub-human.

Yup, that’s what great Dads do! 😂😂😂

Everyone's teenage son is 6'7, weighs about 7 stone yet drinks 12 pints of milk and eats 10 large meals a day.

TBF, many teenage boys do seem to be able to consume an inordinate amount of milk and food. Even if they’re 5’2.

That a significant number of people have very little/no ability to be assertive, have low self-confidence, and allow others to trample all over them. This can be their DP, manager/colleagues, family & friends, etc. This causes them so much stress and misery and yet they cannot stand up for themselves to avoid conflict and the other person/s kicking off.

What is the answer? I don’t know. Does it start with instilling these in our DC? Why do some many people have poor boundaries and cannot or will not assert them? It’s sad what I read on here sometimes.

If you're an INCEL you can start an anti-woman thread and a surprising number of people will agree with you.
