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 was the OG loo brush poster. I knew it would kick it off!

Rim the loo with bleach. Leave it for a little while so it can drip down. boil a kettle

place get loo brush and scrub scrub scrub.

flush. Flush again and give the loo
brush a good shake. Fill lool
brush holder with some bleach and boiling water. Give it a good swirl around. Tip it out

job done

I’ve got a hot tub and an en-suite
My (1) child watches tv every day & tonight had jelly for tea after refusing pasta.
I’ve got and will always have loo brushes, bins in bathrooms, and we share towels
I change bedding mostly fortnightly

I use fabric conditioner
I buy and eat convenience foods including jarred curry sauce
My front door is often unlocked
Our Xmas night snacks will be leftovers, nuts or Pringles - not a cheese board in site
… I could go on and on!

I buy myself Bayliss and Harding toiletries. 😱

Had the audacity to have a child while living in rented accommodation

Both me and dh work from home and often have sex in the middle of the day.

I shop in Aldi

I drink a good few bottles of wine a week and my vape is never out my hand.

I had the audacity to have a child while being poor, in receipt of universal credit, (although I was working,) unmarried and not living with my (now) ex, and living in rented accommodation. Clearly I'm feckless and need to feel bad for being a drain on society. (Not!) I was 35 when DS was born.

😯😁 Good for you! (And I mean that sincerely. 😊)

I don't know why but my mind combined things and read that you and your DH had mid-day sex in Aldi 😆

Two of my kids shared a bedroom ,they turned out fine . I have never batch cooked ,I can’t make a chicken last a week . I have always done the washing for the family even when my kids were late teens . I didn’t kick my kids out as soon as they turned 18 .I like the odd joint and it has never led to harder drugs .

Tbh the only one thing that has given me horror palpitations so far is the loo brush people 😱

My house is usually a bit messy, but I’d still invite an unannounced guest in.

I love my dogs, and they sleep in the bed with me.

I go out for walks and to the cinema with men who are not my DH (and I have no intention of shagging).

I go on lots of trips away for leisure (walking, water sports, gigs) without DH.

I love DH very much!

I’m enjoying the refreshingly honest answers, I have to say.

I had an emotional affair in my early 20s and though I regret it, it’s because it came from a place of low self worth and the guy turned out to be a complete dick, not because he was married.

It make absolutely no sense to not make sure your have a table before ordering 🤷‍♀️

I think you are right, they are just so serious and miserable.

If you want to see things really kick off, start a loo brush thread! 😂
Believe me, by three posts in, the anger and personal attacks will have started to escalate and there's no going back.....

If my washing gets slightly rained on…..I leave it on the line to dry again.

Why do you hate them so much and how do you clean your toilet?

Now that would be a nuclear mumsnet post 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Adult children is something on here where there is no middle ground. They either stay with you until they are 60 or move out at 18 and only see them once every leap year. I saw one recent thread where an OP was told it was perfectly reasonable to see her son who had moved only 30 minutes away four times a year as he would be busy living his own life.

On a similar note, I'm quite happy to see my in-laws and parents at a weekend (normally every weekend unless we have plans) so they can see my children and build their relationship. I don't find it impacts on my "family time" at all.

I also spoon fed my eldest purees when weaning. Contradictory to what some BLW obsessives think, he isn't fussy, doesn't have a problem with speech or food textures and absolutely no problems with jaw development or hand coordination nor was he ever delayed in these areas.

My dog got mud in the bed four days ago and I still haven't changed the bedding and have no intention to until about two weeks time!

I didn’t “rescue” my dog, I bought him from a breeder. I wanted (and got) a beautiful, intelligent, gentle golden retriever, not an ugly, traumatised staffie.
And yes he sleeps on the bed and administers the canine prewash before I put the dishwasher on.
My house probably smells of dog; I don’t care.

I’ve let my adult DC live here for extended periods, rent free and with free food, even when they were earning.

I'd forgive my DH if he had an affair.
I’m Mrs Hisname.

Got my nose pierced at 55 and now planning a tattoo.

now now, don’t all have an aneurism at once

Oh and my kids eat McDonald’s so much they literally decline it if offered. Healthy weights, perfect teeth, intelligent and amazing sleepers. With a mum that cba a lot of the time!

The cinema and men thing.... my ex DP used to have a lodger. There was a film I wanted to see, and the lodger wanted to see. DP did not want to see it. So me and the lodger went to see the film. There was one person who was beside themselves with outrage about it... guess who? It was my own dad! Absolutely blasted me for going to the flicks with a man who was not my DP.

Crack cocaine. Very morish.
