Things you do/have done that most mumsnetters would frown upon!

[Watermelonsugar345]

Just for fun.

What are some things that you have done in the past or do now that you know most MN’s would find you unreasonable for?

I’ll go first:

• I’m so unbothered if you choose to have a child free wedding and my children aren’t invited. Even close family weddings. It’s your day I’m not going to kick up a fuss that you haven’t invited to my children. You’ve probably given me at least 6 months to a year notice, I’ll just arrange childcare. If I can’t - then I can’t come and you can’t be mad at me!
• Chose to have 2 elective c sections for no medical need.
• Given my children chocolate occasionally before the age of 2.
• Son slept in a cot until almost 3!

I don't understand the toilet brush and bathroom bin ones?! How else do you clean the toilet?! And where would you put sanitary products / used cotton wool buds / empty toilet roll tubes if you didn't have a bin in there?!

Toilet brush in bathroom and downstairs loo.

i answer the street door. And worse than that whilst still wearing pyjamas. And I don’t care that it’s the afternoon. I could be a night shifter worker, I’m not but how they gonna know? 😂

Oh and I live in London and I like it...

Snap 😂

I won’t ever have a tracker app on my phone and I would never put one on when my children are older.

I thought in Scotland it was a gender neutral pronoun.

I don’t get it and for the same reasons as you.

I keep my toothbrush in a toothbrush holder, on the sink, uncovered and not a million miles away from the toilet. 😳

I don’t treat my employer like an emperor whose shoes I have to shine.

The absolute horror!!!

I have never screamed in anyone's face nor has anyone ever screamed in mine.

I trusted my DCs teachers throughout school and never complained about anything (with one exception!)

We love our log burner.

I let my Grandson eat biscuits when I look after him.

I would never say yes to siblings coming along to my DCs birthday parties (cfs).

I love watching Strictly and especially enjoy watching the celebs who have had some dance experience - they are brilliant!

You lot are all shameless hussies.

I've LITERALLY crushed my pearls in horror at your slovenliness.

My router is soiled.

I have a loo brush
I go yo McDonalds
I home educated and completely disagree with those who think it’s a safeguarding issue and somehow professionals magically lose all their powers of critical thinking and a child magically becomes invisible the moment a child is home educated
Agree with the OPs child read wedding scenario
Its Not as easy as just LTB.

I have a conservatory.
I have an ensuite
I also have fake grass and fairy lights in my garden.
Two rooms in our house have feature wallpaper and our downstairs loo has fake brick wallpaper 😮
My partner of 25 years had an affair early in our relationship and I didn't LTB
We aren't married and probably won't get married
Often have a tiny salad or even just a garnish with my lunch or dinner
I can normally tell if IABU (even if I'm not going to admit it)
I have been on more than 1 AI holiday to Turkey
I wear what suits me and couldn't give a toss if it's "in" or not (yes, my skinny jeans are going no where)
I have bought stuff from Shien/Temu/Ali Express
I sometimes browse the Daily Mail online at lunchtime.
I do all of the housework (apart from the ironing) as I actually quite enjoy it. I also manage our money, cook, shop AND manage to do a full time job and have hobbies 💪
I don't check if something contains polyester before I buy it

I smoke grass. Every night, with a glass or three of wine too.

Enjoy ironing and having freshly-pressed clothes.

I use fabric softener
leave my washing out to be darked on
my DC went to boarding school but we're still close
I love Christmas but am an atheist

mum - is that you?

I wish someone would answer it for us 😆

My middle name is actually Karen… (sort of proves my mother hated me!?)

The cats are at perfect liberty to walk on tables & kitchen surfaces.

Sort of opposite to OP’s post?: cats never use neighbours garden as toilet, (only have 1 neighbour who has 100’s of dogs, so no surprise there 😆😺)

DH brings in the money, I do all the housework and majority of child/pet care.

I don’t WFH and can’t do school pick ups. I drink too much and am an occasional smoker.
I get on with men better than women.
DD has too much screen time.

In our case dh hand scrubs the toilet.

Nobody who lives in our house uses disposable sanitary items.

Loo roll tube comes straight down for recycling. 😅

I get along with my inlaws. They have many flaws but I make sure to keep my mouth shut where appropriate and I let things slide, because it's important that I get on with them. They are a part of my family and if Dh became lazy about contact i would step in because they are my kids family too.

I host Christmas dinner because I feel obliged but I don't enjoy it and never will.

I have an open door policy regarding DC friends and neighbours. When they are here I see it as they are using our house, I don't supervise them or interfere with their play. I likewise don't mind kids hanging out at neighbours houses.

I don’t want to propose to my boyfriend. I want him to propose to me!
