-Having more than 1 kid on an income under circa 50-100k, or having more than two on an income under circa 100-150k
-Renting long term
Complaining about dogs being given human rights.
Complaining about grandparents care of DC's 'because it's free so like it or lump it!'

That’s definitely not the ONLY problem with “Karen”

I think it’s the other way round everyone recommends less than 1200 calories a day and cuts out whole macro nutrients. Because menopausal/peri menopausal women apparently can only eat like sparrows.

Wait, that’s the only problem with Karen? Wow.

Not realising well in advance the person you had a child with is a massive prick/abusive prick. “but why did you have a child with him if he’s soooo bad” is written a depressing number of times on threads where the OP is struggling to navigate a messy break up.

Seems having an opinion on pretty much anything is frowned upon

I know right?

I'm.a bit averse to my kids having more than 1 easter egg

Omg, smoking weed is the behaviour of skanyy, lazy, unwashed losers, who will turn children into zombies...
Conveniently forgetting that people from all walks of life use it regularly, go to work and use it, care for people, do complicated things, and function very well. And will be so unlikely to start an argument or a fight as they would after a drink.

• Liking your husband
• Liking sex with your husband
• Saying you look good/young for your age
• Making any reference to benefit scroungers - they don’t exist, and in fact can’t exist, because the rules and forms are now water tight

That's because Karen is a misogynistic slur and Mumsnet is a site for women.

People having their legal wedding before their wedding celebration.

Toilet brushes!

I wasn't advocating the use of "karen" BTW people, I don't like it either

Being an older or younger mum

There are lots of financial things that are frowned upon OP.

If you have a reasonable, slightly above average income, dont even think about asking any question at all about finances. Cue the competitive « I have 53p to last me until next August, you don’t know you’re born» posts.

But you’re also, somehow, not allowed to receive benefits.

Make it make sense.

doing laundry, cooking or cleaning for your children if they are over the age of 12. Also driving them anywhere.

You’re also not allowed to anticipate any future inheritance, irrespective of circumstances, due to it clearly being « grabby »

Your 90 year old parents are royalty with a country estate? No Jean. You can’t think about when you may inherit. Grabby. They might need it for care. Also shame on you for being rich.

Eating supermarket bread !!! Its UPF don't ya know !!

Oh yes, my favourite - being told that basically no one owes you anything - and this includes your parents, your grandparents, your friends and DP

Being flamed for suggesting that maybe, just maybe, schools and teachers can be total shits

"Man here : ..."

Although it does make me cringe everytime.

Oh yes, that!! I was told that having a toilet brush in not hygienic, but sticking your hand into the poopy toilet water to wipe skidmarks with toilet paper is totally ok. Hmmm.

Pushchairs on buses.
Every health problem being the perimenopause

The idea of mutual favours (asking for a favour is cheeky fuckery, doing a favour is being a doormat)

Cereal

Class whatsapps

Voting Tory. You are worse than a rapist or murderer. In fact, you are responsible for all the rapists, murderers, wars, cancers and global warming and pets dying because you vote for one of the two major political parties.

That is a problem but there are others. It's misogynistic and ageist.
