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!

Drink too much wine.
Invited people to the evening part of my wedding.
Lock my front door.
Allow unannounced guests.
Don’t have a hobby

I don't think dogs should be treated as humans.
They're not.
I don't care about tattoos. Not my skin.
I don't care if people want "tat" at Christmas, it's a season of joy, not an event curated by John Lewis.

I have one child and I had him quite old (38)
DH does most of the cooking
I can't drive (and I also don't want a lift from you, so put your pitchforks and flaming torches down)
I have a large and varied circle of friends
I travel on business a few times a year
I live a part of London that is widely thought on mumsnet to be an absolute shit hole and totally unsuitable for raising children in
My son took a long time to crack potty training (well after his 3rd birthday)
Basically I feel like I'm a social parish on this site but for some reason I keep coming back

Oh my god its definitely dog stuff.

Will let her sleep in the bed. And I mean, under the covers. She keeps my feet warm.
Will let her lick a chopping board if there's been something tasty on it.
Talk about her like she's my child - because its funny, to me and my family (dont expect anyone else to treat her like she is though!)
We are in a cul de sac with a park at the end and I let her run down the street with no lead on to run to the park, thats probably the one that some people would find to be the biggest sin! Despite there being no scared children, old unsteady people, cars, other dogs about etc...

I also really, really couldnt care if someone didnt change the sheets before I slept on them at someone's house, and I still dont understand why its an issue if I'm totally honest, unless the sheets were visibly dirty/smelt??

Me too! I think people giving gifts is kind, not some kind of weird offence against planet earth.

If Jude Law knocked on my door I'd break the sprinting speed record to answer it.

I don't spend equal amounts on my DCs' Christmas presents.

Also I have separate finances from my partner, even though we are married.

I'm happily judgemental.
I don't think inane assertions like "their house, their rules" win the debate.
I rarely think the first post nailed it.
I never use the word "grim" or the phrase "end of".
I would never ask anyone to remove their shoes, shirt or knickers before entering my house.
I don't call the police if someone leaves poo stains in my toilet.

I have a toilet brush i don't understand how people clean their toilets without one,

You can wear your shoes in my house that probably has a whiff of dog 😀

My (small) dog often sleeps in the bed with us.

I swear and drink.

I'm kind to MIL even though she's often very blunt/rude

Had a hen do abroad with 23 of us going 🎉

I have loo brushes
Toothbrushes are in the en suite
Have no interest in tracking my family members
Was a STAHM mother
I open my door even when not expecting anyone
I swear with fuck being my go to word…covers a multitude of occasions
I drink wine at the weekend
Only believe in abortion in exceptional circumstances
Wash towels and bedding weekly
Don’t think all men are dickheads
My cat goes outside
My kids had their own bedrooms as soon as they outgrew the Moses basket
God knows why I joined given all that 😂

Use my tumble dryer on a sunny day.

Let my cats outside, use a tumbledrier, don't drive.

Became a nan at 45 , according to mumsnet i should have just had a child in reception . Also i tumble dry bath towels.

Omg do people have an issue with bathroom bins on here as well??

I tumble dry everything....all year round! 😊

I don't hate all men or think the majority are depraved lazy abusive perverts. I don't care about porn and I think my partner's masturbatory habits, provided they don't impact our sex life, are none of my business.

I don't think the mental load is the massive deal the internet would lead us to believe.

I don't like co-sleeping. I formula fed and my kids were in their own bedrooms as soon as they outgrew their Next-to-Me cot. I let my cats outside.

I work hard to maintain a good relationship with my in-laws even when they are difficult because my own family are very important to me and because I want my kids to have good relationships with both sides. I don't take offence where none is meant and I appreciate sometimes people can say things that are blunt or rude without having any actual ill intent.

Didn't limit screen time
Didn't remove teenagers phones at bedtime
Share towels
Love a caravan holiday
Cats dishes go in the dishwasher
Eat UFP
Have a weekly takeaway.
Prefer Domino's Pizza to home made
Use frozen mash
The list is endless

I discovered recently on mumsnet that I’m extremely odd for not locking us into the house. Apparently my door should be locked at all times unless someone is walking through it 🤷‍♀️

You filthy animal. 😂

I don't lock my front door if I'm in.

The old "any woman can have a child past 40, just by eating a balanced diet and DTD".

Makes me laugh.

I pay little attention to gender/trans topics.

I'm a single mum and my child has a diminutive name 😱

I eat junk food and drink occasionally.

I can't drive.

I have a low paid job and have never considered taking in some ironing.

Yeah I think that this is normal but a recent thread made me think otherwise!
