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'm not a 'people pleaser' 😆

Stayed home and gave up working to raise my children.
Gave them all dummies, they are now adults with straight teeth and non thumb suckers.
I don’t obsess over food, mainly cook from scratch but eat what I want when I want, don’t care what I look like.
Was strict with my children and they are now respectful, successful, happy adults, and yes they want to spend time with me. Gentle parenting - no thanks 🙂‍↔️

I remember that thread. Now that is grim retches

Husband and I polished off a Terry’s Choc Orange (It wasn’t Terry’s, it was MINE !) today.

I had to stuff my face quickly to make sure I got more than husband…. 😉

I like Christmas

I judge people who put their trees up in November

I strongly believe cats should not be allowed free roam outside

I don't regulate my 12yo's screen time.

I breastfed into toddlerhood

I don't believe in fed is best

I don't immediately jump to diagnosing every person that behaves in a way that I find difficult as having some sort of ND

I feed bread to ducks

I phone people

We eat McDonald's

Sometimes, it's my MIL's fault.

I coslept/sleep with both my DC.

Sometimes I give DD1 raisins to keep her entertained in the shops 😂

I don't always brush DD1s hair daily. She has extremely curly hair so I either braid it for a couple days or if I forgot to braid it, I put it up in two pompoms for the day and then brush it in the bath in the evening when its wet with lots of conditioner

DD1 gets screentime and we often watch a film together on a weekend afternoon. She doesn't seem to be negatively affected by screentime so I don't have an issue with it

I don't cook separate meals for the DC but they can always have fruit and yoghurt for dessert if they didn't like what I made. Sometimes DD1 will eat anything and everything, sometimes nothing. I try not to stress about it

I introduced "solids" at 4 months. Not full on weaning, but little tastes of peanut butter, sesame and other big allergens to try and prevent allergies. I also gave them fruit in one of those plastic dummies with holes in to suck and chew on for sensory stimulation (they got f all nutrients from it)

I BF both DC until it felt right to stop and didn't put a specific date on it. Dd1 self weaned at 20 months when I was pregnant with DD2

I don't stress about salt in meals for DC. I don't let them eat excessively salty food on a regular occurrence, but I cook normally as I did pre-DC and ensure they have plenty of fluids. They have functioning kidneys, and thre evidence for salt restriction in healthy children is incredibly poor nonexistent

I make a very nice chicken noodle soup with my roast chicken carcasses 😉 I bung the carcass in the slow cooker with water, some bayleaves, peppercorns, onions and whatever veg is looking a bit sad in the fridge. Once cooked, strain the broth and chuck it on the stove with a tin of sweetcorn and some noodles until the noodles are cooked. I sometimes add one of the Itsu ramen broth pouches to make it extra tasty and some cornflour to thicken it a bit. You can also add in any leftover chicken from the roast itself but we rarely have any leftover chicken between the actual roast itself and then making chicken fried rice the next day and DDog getting his portion of chicken leftovers

Ooh I thought of another one! I get sad if my football team don't win their matches. Equally I was sad about the England men's cricket team fucking up the Ashes. It spoils my day!

lol I found out I was pregnant at 15 I am routinely hated 🤣

I don’t have a job and have a housekeeper and a nanny.

I have the thermostat set to 17 because I prefer the house to be cool 😁

I appreciate gifts that I don't really like. I appreciate that someone has gone to the trouble of getting something for me.

I'm a towel sharer.
