What's some --more-- juicy gossip that you can't share irl but can share with nosy strangers on mumsnet?

The follow up thread to my one from last year 🤭

Perhaps he’s a pet? Be good to think the balance of power in that house wasn’t one man controlling 4 women.

My DSis had my wonderful DN 23 years ago with donor sperm. Both she & BIL have no intention of telling DNiece at all, as 'Her dad is her dad & it won't change that'. Well, yes, but i think she should know. She's training to be a doctor, so I wonder if she'll work it out somehow via medical information as BIL gets older. They're super close & it bothers me she doesn't know.

Agree, maybe actually the women are using the man to have children then he stays at home doing all the chores for everyone and looking after all the kids! Maybe it works out well for the women :-)

I’ll just leave this here and be back later

Late brothers child is not his, but a relatives.
Should I tell?

That sounds like the basis for a TV drama about forbidden love.

People over the road run a prostitution racket for the over 65s from their garage.

We can be dismissed for accessing medical information for non-medical reasons so I would say it's highly unlikely that she would find out through her work.

My mind is blown too!

You really can't imagine a situation where she (for example) works out that her Dad can't be her Dad through e.g. blood types? It really doesn't require sophisticated insight into the medical records of a parent for this to come to light, especially when older parents lean on medical children for medical support, and disclose their own medical information.

Oh I love this!

Someone I know has raised their child all their life believing they are the biological father, found out when child was 16 that the wife had had an affair abroad at the time of conception and he isn't the father... Aside from obviously being very sad, there is a man out there who she didn't even get the name of that has a 16 year old child they know nothing about 😮

Can I ask how you’re sure it wasn’t religious? My exDH tried to use religion as an excuse for bringing another woman into our marriage, and we’re about the last people you would expect - when people are dealing with religious abuse, they usually keep it very quiet. ExDH cut the bullshit religious excuses when I left and is now finally “out” as his true self - a sociopath and Mensa member, and he’s enormously proud of both.

Why would she suddenly go looking though medical records if she has no idea? Think you've somehow managed to get completely the wrong end of the stick there.
PP definitely meant she might work it out through acquired knowledge of (e.g.) genetics etc as her training continues

When I started my first job a male manager and female colleague were having an affair, not hiding it very well and I walked in on them kissing anyway. I knew he was married but didn't know whether they were separated etc.
A few weeks later at a family gathering my partner's cousin's teenage son introduced us to his girlfriend who turned out to be the male manager's daughter. It became clear that no, they didn't know he was having affair.
I didn't know anyone well enough to say anything (I suppose I wasn't 100% sure it was the same Mr Manager although the details I did know matched). It played out quite quickly after that with them getting a flat together near work and him moving out. Horrendous.
I don't think anyone knows about this weird coincidence.

My sons PE teachers wife is having an affair with one of the mums at their daughters school.
Hes a really nice man and everyone seems to know but him 😔

That reminds me of a couple I know, let's call them George and Mildred. Mildred got pregnant by her then boyfriend. They split up early in the pregnancy and she started seeing George. They subsequently went on to get married and have two more DC. To this day, the oldest DC (now in his late thirties) still doesn't know George isn't his biological father.

Approx 10% of men bring up a child mistakingly believing they are the biological father of that child.

🤣🤣🤣🤣good old mum! Well done

Your sister is a horrible person.
I don't know how she can live with herself.

How did you find this out?!

This is my favourite ❤️

@03cg73this is the best one for me. Salacious but nobody gets hurt !!

Do you have a source for this? This particular statistic is very difficult to measure, for obvious reasons.

🙄...

I used to do similar with shop bought mince pies at Christmas.... Until my late husband's father asked "if I could make some more that tasted as good as the ones from Markies.... ?" Okay Pete, no worries 😁 😋🤣🤣
