Things you've noticed that are frowned upon on mums net

[ChitterChatter1987]

I'll go first 😆

-Kids sharing rooms
-Complaining about schools or teachers
-Feeling upset about a friend hurting you
-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!'

Interested in why you would think that almost impossible? Today’s GPs are perfectly capable of using an online forum.

Earning money and moaning how much you pay and how much goes to to benefits because you don’t qualify for free childcare hours so you pay for yours and other people’s and 40% tax and the rest. People HATE that. Work harder. Pay more. People are too anxious to work. Have a heart.

Sleep Training.
Emojis.
No I haven't read the full thread 🐵

Dogs having hunan rights? Sorry that made me laugh !

Everything a step mother does/doesn't do.

Surrogacy
A wedding party that does not contain the legal ceremony irrespective of how logistically challenging (impossible) getting a celebrant to a non registered venue may be
Trans people

Being a SAHM
Being a working Mum - working anything over an hour a week with a child under 18 is neglectful and means missing out on precious memories.
Not being married.
Being married to someone who failed to wash up once - LTB! You’re worth sooo much more.
Having a baby when v young (anything under 31.5 years)
Being too old to have a baby (anything over 31.5 years)
Not having a child at a Russell Group university
Wearing anything that isn’t from Sweaty Betty, Hush or Boden

Really? You think that is the only issue?

Living in a terraced house

Struggling to pay your mortgage

Decorating your house for Autumn.
TVs in bedrooms.
Not having bookshelves ‘groaning’ under the weight of books.
Sending your children to private school.
Giving your children more than a satsuma and a wooden toy for Xmas.
Giving your children anything more than one small egg for Easter.
Having a second home.
Landlords.
Celebrations for adults, no joy allowed!
Dogs in cafes.
Wind chimes.
Still mothering your children when they’re over 18.
Gaming.
Kids wearing sportswear for anything other than sport.

Or even mentioning the F word. ‘Big’ is allowed, though.

Formula feeding. In the magical world of mumsnet everyone can and therefore should breastfeed. Nobody has insufficient supply. Nobody has mental health difficulties or physical health issues that are impacted by lack of sleep. Nobody pays any mind to fathers bonding with their babies, his job is just to support mum while she cares for baby solo. It's so backwards compared to reality.

Tradespeople using the toilet apparently they all have germs! ☹️

Giving your children occasional chocolate, mcdonalds or caffeine.

Agree it's right up there with women being called "a nag" in my opinion.

Living in a terraced house

That's apparently fine as long as it's a period property.
New builds
Being fat
Wearing shoes indoors - wearing slippers or walking round in bare feet does not mean you shouldn't clean your carpets regularly. Urgh.
Boarding schools
En suites - always cited as 'being in the corner of the bedroom'. It doesn't occur to posters that they're often separate rooms the same size as the bedroom

Husbands actually wanting to have intimacy/sex with their wives.

Liking your husband.

Being happy and enjoying your life.

Actually grasping that ‘raising children’ includes paying for them as a fundamental parental responsibility.

True - Georgian cottage or massive Victorian townhouse.

But if you hear or make any noise you will have to up and buy a detached that very day, and then you can Never Go Back.

Forward facing car seats for any child under 7.

The cardinal sin of having lip filler.

You can almost hear the stampede trying to type the “duck lips” post first.

Managing the perimenopause and menopause without too many complaints.

Thou shalt not sail through menopause.

Thou shalt not, on pain of death, eschew HRT.

MN have a pretty low opinion of tradespeople, and bodily functions in general - the 2 combined is a disaster that means your whole renovation/extension is ruined

And never say that you’ve known a lot of nice, loving, non abusive men through life. 🙄🙄

On MN, it’s compulsory for all men being thought of as bastards.🤷‍♀️
