The ‘average’ mum on mumsnet

[Winetastingtimewasting]

So, I am sat wondering , as I have on many occasion … is the ‘average’ Mum on Mumsnet
living in an fairly expensive house
working part time
pondering their marriage
burnt out
and ?….. what else ?

Yes always the ducks in a row!
always the LTB crew
always the ‘ I think he is cheating though’

😂Guilty as charged!

Christ, what a horrible, catty thread.

Are usually large of nork

I agree about the mopping of floors and are horrified that anyone may enter with outdoor shoes on, since of course said interloper would have trudged through a muddy, faeces-filled track

Although - lots seem to live very rurally.....

In a nutshell

100k plus a year
Super bright kids
super sporty kids
twat husband or single parent or conversely Peter Perfect husband
twat MIL

20k a year
SEND kids trying to negotiate the educational system
lives in rental
twat ex
twat ex MIL

Reality is anyone can be anyone they choose online.

This has nailed
it for me ….
thank you…
it seems to be the polar opposites that I am noting … but almost like there are two clear ‘
camps’

Yes I think there are polar opposites.

What they have in common is a loathing of “middle class-ness” : one group because they aspire to be above and beyond it, and the others because they think it is pompous but enviably free from all concerns.

I am surprised by how many posters aren’t parents.

Hmmm. I dunno. I do have a fairly expensive house, it’s true. I do not work part time. I am not burnt out. I am not pondering my marriage.

They're married to the 0.001% of the male population who doesn't ever watch porn, has never even seen porn and gave up masturbation the day they laid eyes on their partner

And their husbands keep their phones locked and carry their laptops with them from room to room....😂

Yes me too! But then there is a lot posted that’s for all really !

All human life is on Mumsnet. That’s the beauty of it (much as it winds me up at times).

The “typical” Mumsnet mum doesn’t exist, despite the attempt to push various stereotypes.

How do we know the nork bit?!

There's probably certain demographics on here but a fair mix from mums and dad's to those who are child free and all manner of lifestyles and circumstances

No need for the comments on sen children that's below the belt.

I agree

Perimenopausal, mum of a ND kid, into wide-leg jeans and trainers, Taylor Swift fan, anti-private school (but worships the 'true upper class' and'old money'), anti-Brexit, hates the words 'moist' and 'picky tea'.

And some of us have kids still in school 🤣 and are over 60

I don’t think it’s meant derogatory . I think it’s capturing the ‘ easy life ‘ v ‘ the struggle’

All husbands wear lycra and block country lanes on weekends but this is a Secret Hobby they will not divulge because it is too outing
All kids have regular visits to NT houses and museums on weekends
Mum's out in all weather cheering on kids who are county team players/riders and love dryrobes
There has been an issue with inheritance at some point

Has a £1m pension pot by 45.

Now here’s one :

A surprising number of women who are not Mums and don’t plan to be

I’ve no problem with this and commend them for going on a forum with ‘mum’ in the title

Apologies if I took it the wrong way I just don't think mentioning disabled children is right on a thread that's laughing at people.

This made me giggle 😂
