To ask what things you never knew u tilypu joined Mumsnet?

[KimberleyClark]

I’ll start.

That having a one syllable first name and surname is an absolute no no.

Is it? Why? I've been on mumsnet for around ten years and I hadn't heard this one. In fact many years ago I worked with a lady called Rose James and I thought it was the most elegant, no fuss yet feminine name I'd ever heard.

You can report any perceived infringement with the local police and it will be 'logged' for future use.
That there is a 'script' for men, yet I've not found a copy on Amazon yet.
MIL are always, always, evil and NC is all that's acceptable. DIL, of course, is always in the right.
Dogs are hated by the population, and all those stopping me every time I go out to say hello to my dog ate just outliers.

Were you the one giving me €300?

It's the stuff of nightmares Jeffers. I'd be permanently cancelled foh sure.

That adults find adulting so incredibly difficult.

🙋

@EmpressOfTheThread I didn't think you'd recognise me on here

That there are even more thieves and liars around than I thought.

Vaginal oestrogen tablets, called Gina. I order them online from Superdrug but you could get them through your gp. The Superdrug doctors review your order. Then they get posted out.

Have helped loads!

Stay naïve. It's definitely for the best.

My dear late Mum wore red to our wedding 😳😂

Of course 😁 - I hope you enjoyed the meal and entertainment. Iron Maiden weren't easy to book.

Getting Bruce Dickinson to fly you off on honeymoon was a lovely touch

I said "that is really very kind, and please don't give me a generous monetary gift as well, like Jane Jeffer did!"

Also, how many thoroughly wonderful, level headed, articulate women there are, quick to help a fellow women in need.

Not a surprise exactly, but warming. I often start typing a response but by the time I’ve put my clumsy thoughts together there are a dozen far more suitable and sensible, supportive replies.

There are the insensitive drama seekers and stirrers of course but they are always outshone by those with the ops best interests at heart.

I have also learned to NEVER take fashion advice from MN…if I followed the advice on gear I’d look like an apostle in chunky boots.

I hope you are in a better place now

I find it really heartening when posters can help women in abusive relationships.

The emotion involved in a shoes on shoes off in the house discussion

That some people won't answer their front door if someone knocks or answer their phone

Ah, come on now - those threads are very entertaining. Some people get very anxious about what might be on their floors.

That so many people hate summer, not that we have had much summer weather over the last two years.

Someone will post a beautiful dress for their 28 year old self and posters will genuinely suggest some 50+ year old dress as a better solution.

For a mostly parenting site, most posters hate children being children

I discovered that many people hate their relatives so much they go no contact, that most people have neurodiversity, that people earn no money or 6 figures and so many more "nobody is average" stuff.

That microwave rice is some spawn of the devil.

Colin the caterpillar isn't for girls.

Beaker and penis can be used in the same sentence.
