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 🤭

Have you never reported it? I would report anything which involves the exploitation of women without hesitation.

That doesn't surprise me.

My dad (now long retired) was a plumbing and heating engineer, he had a long contract with a local diocese.

He didn't have a good word to say about many of the vicars for one reason or another but one in particular used to make his skin crawl, he said there was just something very off about him and he often had young South East Asian boys from a charity come a stay with him, this was way back in the 80's. One day dad had to work inthis vicar's bedroom and had to move a load of furniture to get to some pipes and there he found a huge pile of gay porn magazines.

My best friend's dd dated my ex colleagues ds, that's how I found out.
The ds had had a huge fallout with his parents, and ended up moving in with my friend's family for a couple of weeks.
I don't know what the fallout was about, but he went totally rogue and told my friend everything.

I really felt for him and the other kids. He said that growing up, they were never allowed to mix with other kids, as they had their siblings.
Weren't allowed playdates, parties etc as the parents didn't want to have to return the favour.
They grew up very isolated, all to keep the secret 😒

That is a common misconception. 10% of men cannot donate body parts to their child. Only approx. 2% of the children have a different father than the one everyone thinks is the father.

Oh we (as in my immediate family) all know it’s not her who makes the pies. It’s the extended family as in aunties and uncles/cousins/grandparents that don’t know. Mums side of the family is huge and they are very big on family parties.

a huge table is set out for food and people bring a pot of chilli or a pot of curry for example, it all gets set out and people just help themselves

years ago mum was hosting a party, my aunties asked her if she’d made the steak pie and for some reason mum said yes. People kept saying how good the steak pie was all night and then she kept being asked to bring it to parties. It’s been going on for over 10 years now. She gets the fear everytime she goes to buy them incase the butchers has none left 😂

A school friend is in a very long term relationship with a pair of identical twins.

They deny it if people ever ask and these days try to be more low key but people that have known them since school know. He even changed his name an everything.

The lady across the road sells drugs when her husband is at work.

Mum and Dad divorced when I was a kid, he moved 80 miles away and my siblings hadn't spoken to him for 40years when he died, I always did with exception of a few years when we had a fall out that later resolved itself when his 2nd wife told me what had been going on, or so I thought.

In his 80's, I nursed him through a terminal illness, his 2nd wife was too frail and had dementia. He was in and out of consciousness towards the end and doped up on morphine.

He started a conversation about his life regrets, the way he treated my mum, his multiple affairs (he left mum for wife 2) and included having split up with his 2nd wife for a while (all news to me) in the 80's. At that point he had a relationship and there was a child he had met a couple of times, he said his 2nd wife knew nothing about it as he drifted back into unconsciousness. I was shocked and my instinct was to shout him awake to tell me the rest but I didn't as I thought we had time. He lived for another few weeks but was out of it, he didn't know who I was and we never got to finish the discussion.

I wasn't aware he and his 2nd wife had actually split, I knew they had some problems and I'm assuming it was mid 80's when we had fallen out, it all fits with what happened at the time.

So I have a half sibling somewhere, no idea male or female, name or when born (other than poss mid 80's) or who to. Couldn't say ask stepmum who he was with as she was in lala land and as older people do they had drifted away from their friends or they had already died. The only person who may have known was his older sister and she had advanced dementia and has since died. Never told my brother and sister, didn't want them to be struggling with the idea like I do.

I am on DNA website and hope someday someone will pop up.Its good to be able to write it publicly, only my husband and best mate know. I'd like a younger sibling!

Like @03cg73 mum and her famous pie, my friend’s legendary lasagna is M&S with extra cheese sauce and grated cheese.

I’m the only one who knows. I saw the empty packets hidden when we went round for lunch and I was helping her. We laugh when people ask for her recipe 😁

Oh yes, there is a mum at my childs football training who has started dressing up more, full face of make up, kinky boots etc to wear to training (when her husband isnt there) she is trying to crack onto one of the football.dads and has been "going around his house, spending time with his wife and kids to try to muscle in". Her words not mine. Kids football is a den of iniquity. We already have had one of the other mothers leave her husband for a coach (24yrs M) and was discovered by her then husband banging him dressed as Mrs santa after the kids Christmas party.

I kind of like the idea that somewhere there is a little female commune with their house husband pottering around emptying the bins, cutting the grass and providing his services when required 😂

Having studied and then worked in a post graduate department this doesn't surprise me at all. IME there's so much shagging going on between staff/pre and post grads im surprised anyone has any time left to publish research 😅

Me too - he found out because he had a medical issue and when investigated turned out he had a DSD which results in complete infertility. His 'daughter' was a young adult when he found out and he was completely heartbroken. Now lives as a hermit drinking/taking drugs, getting into fights etc.

Oh ok. I've never heard of anyone being tested 'for their blood type' unless they are giving blood products or requiring receipt of them. I also didn't know you have the same blood type as your father?
How can your blood type show who your parents are? Sorry if I'm being dense I'm finding it hard to understand.

I don't think its correct that blood group is carried forward through the father. I have a different blood group to my dad and im 100% sure he's my dad.
Re: blood groups if both parents are O neg then their children will also be O neg.

My FiL cheated on (now late) MiL when they were younger, after their children were born. I believe my MiL knew, but my DH doesn't. His mum died last year and we now have some caring responsibilities for his dad. I will take this information to my grave.

Assume the SIL is her husband’s sister.

My sister did this with a fresh fruit roulade that she buys from a posh bakery. She took it round to her in-laws when she fist met them, this was 18 years ago and she’s still buying it and passing it off as her own. She sticks it on a plate and shamelessly takes the glory!!!!!

She did attempt to make one and it was awful. We have to pray this bakery never closes.

Her in-laws rave about it 😆

Someone I know has been to a solicitor behind her husband’s back to put something in place to ensure his kids from a previous relationship don’t inherit his half of the house when they both die. I’m assuming she’s been getting him to sign stuff without him realising what he’s signing.

I saw my neighbour (a man) looking very posh and dressed up in our local service station (like ready for a date posh). He had a bunch of red roses in his hand that he'd just bought. But his wife is away. He didn't come home that night. He didn't see me.

My Mum and Dad never knew and still don't, that the lady I used to babysit for when I was around 17-18 years old worked in a massage parlour and offered extra's i.e. she was a prostitute. Her partner was effectively her pimp as he worked on the door / front desk at the massage parlour and was happy for her to do it, providing he got his cut of the money.

She was friends with my best friend's sister just through their kids going to the same school, and when my best friend wasn't interested in babysitting she told me and I started to do it.

Then one night she came home slightly early normally her partner came home first and he would call me a cab, she had a few drinks and told me.

I never judged her and I think she appreciated that

Her partner tried to get me to do sex chat line's as he said I had a lovely soft voice and I could make a lot of money, I politely turned him down 😀

She was a lovely lady, her two sons were great, I used to love babysitting for them. She left her partner and moved away, I often wonder how she is doing and how her sons are.

And how do you know the women are being exploited?

It’s terrifying how often you read these sorts of posts on MN. I suspect there is a ‘respectable’ and ‘harmless’ man like this in almost every street.

She’s in for trouble as soon as any family member gets interested in Ancestry DNA.

Yes that can't be right that it's only from the father. My husband is O- and I'm A+. Our son is A+ like me, dont know about daughter. Husband is definitely their dad!

My dad is A- and I think mum is A+ (possibly O+) but not sure. My sister is also A+ like me.

I've just done one of those online calculators and A+ was the most likely result for the children of both families with those combinations.

Same with my mum 😂 my aunties MIL has even served my mums steak pie.
