To ask for things that happen on MN that you’ve never seen happen IRL

[JandamiHash]

I’ve never seen or heard a parent refer to their child as “sexy”

I’ve never seen anyone having a nap on a public bench.

I’ve never seen someone cajole their daughter into the aisle at a wedding so they can be a stealth bridesmaid

All the above is what I’ve read about on MN recently that people do and have seen before done, regularly.

I don't think dog ownership is being cast as a cult, just that there has been a significant change in some peoples ideas of dog ownership where they feel quite rightly that their dog is part of their family but expect the rest of the world to also treat their dog as part of their family, as if they're a human member.

People say it in Scotland all the time 🤷‍♀️

See when I was a teenager it was getting a job and pay rent- or move out. Usually you were expected to get the job at 16 after I levels. Very few people stayed on and was only in the " better off " families.
My best friend was one of 8 kids in 9 years. Imagine all those living at home and not contributing. Her mum worked lots of hours also

Ah ok that’s good to know. I love words.

I paid board and I paid my own poll tax, that’s rather aged me I know!

I had to pay poll tax also ( so shows my age) although it was my own flat

Sometimes in jest…sometimes less so …

eg. A sexually frustrated DH with small
kids in the trenches, DW understandly not interested, caught looking at porn - clearly because he’s a misogynistic vile promoter of the rape of women and girls and must hate his DW and their children- so LTB !!

I mean really???

Cur next poster coming in to say ‘well
of I found my DH looking at porn it would be. A dealbreaker for me etc

would it ? Would it really …???

Nobody in realise ever breaks up/advises someone to breakup because of someone who is sexually frustrated has been looking at porn -
porn addiction yes
sexless marriage yes
only fans subscription yes

looking at porn during a dry patch in an otherwise healthy marriage

ONLY ON MUMSNET

Welll my 18 year is at college ,but once he,s e working yes ,I would l.expect him to pay board ,what blows my minds is that posters can't see past their own personal circumstances,and not realise that not all.families can afford ,to.have an adult child living at home rent free

I've never known anyone who is such a mug as to end up giving someone a lift too and from work every single day which involves a half hour detour or whatever and doesn't get any petrol money. But it seems to happen all the time here.

I once fell asleep on a park bench.
I was blue lighted to hospital unconscious with sepsis.
I don't answer the door or the phone unless the person has texted or emailed me beforehand to let me know they're calling.
I paid rent to my mum as soon as I had a job.
I've been in women's toilets with a transwoman and it didn't bother me in the slightest.

That's horrific I'm so sorry

You haven't met my husband...

My sil also died of sepsis when she was 41 although it was prior to covid,
she had what she thought was flu, and died during the night leaving her three kids without a mother ,it's frightening how quickly it can take hold.

My uncle died of sepsis. He found a strange bruise and died 2 days later

Actually sat in the garden listening to this now lol

I Know a dog who did a shit in the pub restaurant section. They are banned now !

That makes sense, but wow that’s sad.
I mean, I don’t judge somebody for what sort of house they live in and I’ve always been curious about why people rush to Mumsnet to share that their loved one has died - this seems like the last place I’d go for comfort, to strangers. I suppose some people do.
I’ve wondered about those people who said “look at this £12million house I just bought” because it’s so outing, but I just thought people like to brag.
All in all, I think I’m a big fat sucker.
Thank you, @AnyoneWhoHasAHeart— I’ll be much more discerning in the future thanks to you. ❤️

When I was 13/14 my mother said I had great sex appeal. I later had two beautiful daughters and would never dream of saying something like that to them.

😂genuinely my mum has had it twice, my best friend (they both have autoimmune disorders though) and also a colleague after she stood on glass it turned to sepsis!

Funnily enough I saw someone asleep on a park bench earlier on today 🤣🤣🤣 but no to the other 2.
i mean I read on here the other day it’s totally normal for women to give birth by themselves and the woman who was upset her mom wouldn’t be around to watch the children whilst she gave birth so her husband could be there was entitied 🤣🤣

I’ve never seen anyone “toddle” off as a grown adult 😂 but I see it referenced on MN all the time and everytime I read it I imagine a fully grown adult doing a silly walk.

i “toddled” off to get the letter or whatever and I silently laugh to myself when I read it.

There are people on here who think it's the end of the world if life throws them a little curve. A lot of the time their problem is their own fault.There is much more drama on mumsnet than I've seen in real life. Reading all the posts makes me think my own life is pretty good in comparison lol.

Me too
