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’ve had sex on a first date and don’t regret it.

I let my baby cry it out at about 6 months old occasionally, when it got to the point i was about to throw myself down the stairs.

I chose to bottle feed - because the thought of breastfeeding revolts me. Like how some people hate feet or blood - this is my thing.

I dont think Stacey Solomon is the next Jesus.

I’ve never dried a sink in my life.

Sorry, cleaning sinks? They get covered in soap all the time, must be the cleanest thing in the house.----

Someone enlighten me please

what is it with chicken?

and why can’t you have a loo brush?

I most want to know about the chicken

I dont get the cant go to anyone's house at Christmas. Kids must stay at home and play with their toys.

We went to grandparents every year on xmas day mid-morning after we had opened our presents at home.

It was no problem. We spent Boxing day at home.

No idea about the loo brush.

The chicken thing is before my time, but I think it’s to do with portion control and disagreement on how many meals a whole chicken is supposed to last for. A ‘typical’ MNetter can make a whole chicken last a week, or something along those lines.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

and then make stock

I didn’t know it was a thing, but apparently it is. I feel less slovenly now that others are also baffled by it!

It seems that the thought on MN is that loo brushes were dirty things.

I’m a proud loo brush owner but was shocked by someone who said she put hers in the dishwasher 🤮.

Quite a number of MNers seem to think that a loo brush is a filthy object that is totally full of shit. They don't seem to get that if you dunk them up and down under the flush and then dip them in bleach then they are fine. Nor can any of them ever adequately explain how you scrub skiddoes off the toilet without one. Apparently they mostly use marigold rubber gloves and put their hands down the toilet, completely missing or ignoring the fact that then you would get shit on the marigolds too.

I am not one of them. I am the proud owner of two toilet brushes and so it will stay. 😃

The chicken. Well, someone once said on here that they could make meals for a family of four or five for a week using just a small chicken. God alone knows how! It passed into MN legend and became known as the magic chicken. 🤣

Thank you for enlightening me!

especially with magic chicken

I am also proud owner of silicone toilet brushes - soak in bleach easily

the only house I’ve seen without a loo brush had a shower beside it - don’t know how it comes off if crusted as it was a very drippy thing 😂

Although am I breaking a MN rule with the bleach

Who’s eating week old chicken, and are they well.

We got a Chinese last night, and I wouldn’t even entertain the chicken from it today, nevermind next week.

Please please someone put a link to magic chicken thread… 🙏

I buy my child more than “something you want/wear/need/read” at Xmas!

I've never earned a 6 figure salary.

I rarely notice “use by” dates. If it doesn't pong I'll eat it

I get along well with my neighbours and quite enjoy hearing their children playing in the garden

I don't sob & shake if a passing motorist uses my driveway for a turnaround

I'm definitely Team Lav Brush. I bought 2 new ones last week for a bit of a Christmas treat 😀😀

Six figure salary 😂😂😂

oh yeah and 220k savings is poverty lines

I don’t reply to messages in a timely fashion. I would have no friends in MN world

I don’t feel the need to tell random women they’re unreasonable.

I don’t suck the joy out of every situation I’m in.

I can’t find the thread but if I remember rightly the chicken was portioned so that adults got half a breast each, and the kids shared a leg, there was stir fry, salad and sandwiches with similar homeopathic measures of chicken. And then stock.

😂😂😂

oh bless you - thank you for looking 🥰

So do I. I always thought it was rather a joyless mantra.

Here's a link to one of the chicken threads. I'm sure this is the one as well where one poster used one chicken breast as well between four people to make fajitas!

If I use one large chicken (or extra large). I get a roast dinner for four and a few bits for sandwiches afterwards. Can't be arsed making stock so the carcass goes in the bin!
