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 fart like a foghorn, in any room and in front of my OH. In fact, I was lifting the sheets beautifully last night. 💨

My bowels are fucked, but you can’t beat a good fart that makes you feel like you’ve expelled the worlds supply of gas.

I loved chatting to other parents at the school gate. Some of them are friends.

Walk around in gym clothes most of the time.

Live in America.

Enjoy Christmas markets.

Put the dog bowls in the dishwasher.

And the dog in the bed.

Ok, but tell us HOW? 😂

(I’m only half joking)

I like other people's dogs and happily give them a pat in a cafe/ park

I think most of the 10 for £10 book bundles from The Works are shit and I don't mind if you give my child a party bag full of plastic tat as long as it doesn't have a fucking bouncy ball in it.

shower every 2 days
share towels
change my sheets when I remember to
wash my bras once in a blue moon
don't wash my hands after a pee when home alone
eat out of date food
shag strangers
drink 1-2 bottles of wine a week
use the word cunt liberally
have tattoos

I would sooner die than be so rude as to bag a table in a cafe prior to purchasing at the counter my food / drink.

I'm also another one who loved having visitors when I had a newborn. You want to come to my house, hold my baby so I can go to the toilet, drink a coffee and have my arms free. YES PLEASE.

I was also delighted for my MIL and parents to come round and just and sit and hold the baby and to see them bond. I didn't demand that they (or anyone) do my housework or cook a meal for me.

I also don't do "shaking and crying" or at "my wits end" over the smallest inconvenience.

I'd never use the phrase "get your ducks in a row" in real life (or on here for this matter).

Hahahahahha

Ha, I think this one wins the thread!

Nothing wrong with “casual cunting”. Sometimes you just have to tell someone they are being a cunt.

I have one of this, we use it and miraculously it was never been mistaken for a tooth brush, back brush or hair brush. I didn't know I deserve jail for it. LOL

I do not like the smell of clothes when they have been dried outside. I often put the clothes in the dryer AFTER they have been outside....... I'll get my coat 😳

I have a loo brush but it's just for show (in the DS loo).
I sleep with my dog.
I wash her dishes in the dishwasher.
I don't have a washing line and never dry clothes outside.
I don't change my bedding as often as I should (would like).
I shower 2/3 times a week.
I co-slept with DS until he could sleep through.
I drink wine most days.
I am friends with my ex-husband.
I invited 2 people to my wedding because my mother in law asked (nicely). No drama.
I am not offended if I am not invited to a wedding or if I am only invited to the evening do.
I have fake grass.
I have piercings and tattoos.
I didn't mind when my son got piercings and a tattoo.
I let workmen use my loo.
I have been single for 7 years and I like it.
I am vegan.
I eat carbs.

Let my kids sit in front of the telly all day (pre internet)
Potty trained them adequately before starting school
Gave my kids dummies
Gave my kids sweets
Never breastfed
Had a fag now and again when pregnant
Didn't and still dont believe in this gentle parenting shit.
Made sure my kids knew the full consequence of bad behaviour 🤩

If somebody specifies no presents, then I take them at their word instead of tying myself into knots over a "token" gift that nobody wants.

I also seem to have missed the boat when they were doling out those magical MN eyes with special filters - you know the threads..."but why were you looking at their bum/breasts?" Well, because my clearly defective eyes see the whole person and I don't have a special feature that blocks stuff out.

I earn under £150,000
Answer my door
Did not call my dc stupid names
As for toilet brush............noooooo🤑

I don't shower every day (I don't smell and it's better for skin).

Thank you! 😂

I don't mind giving money for wedding gifts even if ive been invited to evening only.

I haven’t seen my house keys in months.

We have multiple big wall mounted TVs

We have very few books and no bookshelves, we use kindle instead

We had a vegan wedding

We sent thank you texts, not cards for our wedding

I don’t attend funerals if I don’t want to

We spend loads on our children for Xmas, even though they’re now older. When they were younger they had loads of ‘plastic tat’, more normally known as toys.

We are happy to give people cash for their wedding if they ask for it

We sent our children to private school

Our children can live at home as long as they like

We decorate our house for autumn

We do a special breakfast on 1st December and Xmas eve boxes

We have let children have a day off school occasionally because they just didn’t want to go or for their birthdays some years

We have a second home and also another 2 properties that we rent out

We all have find my iPhone on our phones without feeling like we are being tracked or monitored.

We still help our kids out and do nice things for them despite them being older teens and adults

I can say no without feeling bad. Mumsnet seems to be full of wet lettuces

I have found my people
