• We own 1 car between us and it's not an SUV nor on finance

• He does not have a niche and outing hobby
• He is fully in charge of all gifts, cards and social arrangements with his own family
• Sometimes I go a day between showers
• We struggle to make a roast chicken last 3 days between two people

• I love weddings
• They'll need to peel my skinny jeans off my cold dead legs

You mentioned big salads twice! 🤣

Im not mumsnetty because Im not obsessed with a massive salad and don’t think you need to see children’s ribs. I eat sugar, probably far too much. No way will I be posting on those threads!
I don’t work full time.
I think it’s ok to be a sahm.
I don’t think you should give kids alcohol at a party.
I don’t think you should give a cup of tea to a toddler.
I also don’t hate surrogacy.
Im not anti trans although I do like JKR. (I know, not possible is it!)
I don’t like to attack the op when they’ve posted in AIBU because they are almost always vulnerable.

However, I am an introvert and terrible at answering the door or phone to an unknown!
I also almost always think the op should LTB. The relationship threads are dire.
I don’t like dogs in all cafes and jumping in my face.

I smoke
Enjoy alcohol
Have never used the word boundaries IRL …so patronising particularly when talking about GPs
Got on with MIL
Allowed my children to go to sleepovers and reciprocated
Never stayed at parties,drop of and run was normal

I don’t have, never have had and unlikely to ever have a cleaner.
I smoke.
I earn less than 23K a year - full time.
I like my work colleagues very much.

I’m single, childfree, Australian, answer the door, don’t cook, don’t shower daily, don’t scour my bathroom, don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke or vape and never have, and don’t feel remotely guilty about having put my mother into residential care after seven years as her carer.

Don't drive
In debt
Don't think all French women are universally stylish
Think most of what you get in Toast these days is overpriced and you can get similar in Sainsburys
Adored my MIL
Vegetarian (kids too / 1 is vegan)
Like teachers, think they do a great job
Hate spa days

I have no idea what the typical MNetter is! You all seem so different in many ways. Here's my sixpenn'orth:

Working class childhood - middle class profession & lifestyle
I hate cooking so I don't do it
I hate housework so I pay someone else to do it

My carbon footprint is low but I love a bit of luxury
I used to read a lot but now it's all audio books
My screen time is excessive
I hate yoga
I'm a leftie who can't stand Corbyn & his tribe
I'm gender critical - gender is a social construct
I'm an atheist
I like most men as much as I like most women
I could be here all night but I've already bored myself!

I'm from a shit northern town and rarely go south of the midlands
I think 100k is a lot of money and a big combined wage
I get on with men better than women
My kid has plenty of screen time
I drink alcohol and have the occasional cigarette

i’m breastfeeding until 3yo

I dont limit screen time

Then again:

I find answering the door can be a nuisance
I like Boden
My in-laws, especially MIL, are difficult
I find school mum cliques tricky
My partner could be described as lazy and useless, with niche hobbies

Away you back to slagging off Harry and Megan 👋

I’m divorced but not married to the partner of my child

I rent in my 40’s

I have no intention of going to weddings, nights out if it means I can’t take my child

Think the PFB label is nasty, it’s actually okay to love your children and not treat them with indifference

Love crisps

live in London but fucking hate it

House is a total tip (but very clean)

Hate Boden, White Stuff et el

Don’t get nails, eyelashes, eyebrows done

don’t judge people in council houses, benefits etc

As opposed to passively aggressively slagging off other women on Mumsnet? Okeydokes!

I smoke
I hate exercise
I don't spend my weekends ferrying my kids to activities
I enjoy the company of my children
I work as little as is financially possible as I love being home with my family

“I’m divorced but not married to the partner of my child”

I mean FATHER not partner of my child. Now that would make mumsnet AIBU classic title 😵‍💫🤣😵‍💫

I'm not a GC feminist.

I have 3 toilet brushes (didn’t realise this was a no no)

None of us have current passports

I puzzled about that for a few minutes and thought I couldn't make sense of it because I've been drinking so moved on 🤣

I work in London and earn less than 30k
My DH is not 6'3
My DC are teens but neither could be described as strapping and they dont play a sport at county level
Teen DC sleep in single beds
A massive salad wouldn't fill me up for more than 10 min
We have an ensuite bathroom and it gets used for all bodily functions that you'd normally use a toilet for!
We have brown leather sofas
I rarely read books

Oh and I socialise with school mums, work colleagues and neighbours!
