What’s disliked on Mumsnet but very popular in everyday life?

What's hated on MN, but insanely popular in real life?

Disney World
Starbucks, Costa, Nero etc
Center Parcs
A sensible political stance
McDonald's

What else?

Baylis & Harding

Agreed. It was stupid. She could have put left-wing or liberal, but she decided to childishly write it that way.

Yes, it’s definitely becoming more right wing here. And despite all the clichés, Mumsnet is more racist than the world I live in.

Answering the door

Some threads on clubbing do. I’ve certainly stated I’ve taken disco biscuits and snow. MN can be very judgy about this though. Liz Jones was outed on a thread here (I was there!) where she was seen taking coke and she got a lot of judgement. Not off me. But the thread was as funny as F.

I think I need definitions here to decide whether I'm left or right wing or in the middle.

How do you define left wing?

I thought that was saying men having the smallest penises. There can be bragging about DH’s appendage if it’s on the big side. No one seems to admit to a smaller one in their vagina or is told to dump them for it.

Caring about your children once they reach the age of18.

Making children sleep in their own beds

Privacy! Only on mumsnet have I seen people suggest leaving your baby outside the end cubicle and peeing with the door open. Every mum takes the pram into the accessible loo.

Dogs … usually at least one dog- bashing thread per week…

SUV or 4x4s … doesn’t matter that you might live on a farm, up in a hilly area or rurally, you are driving the Devils cart.

Fast food

Women who don’t work or work part time for whatever reason… how lazy!
even if you are a carer (or even keep a regular eye on) elderly parents, or do something else in your life - or - don’t need to work 😱 you are the worst of the worst!
I’ve never understood this attitude.. my DDad had a few mild strokes and def needed a regular eye keeping on him, and my ability to go to him immediately was invaluable. He often fell and got confused & needed helping. My friends Dmum was an alcoholic and prone to being problematic so she spent a fair time with her during school hours. Thabpnk heavens MNet was not around then! We both would have been berated!

This is the dumbest response to any post, and seems to recur on her frequently.

You haven’t “hit a nerve” every time someone disagrees with you. It’s just disagreement.

I find this is often what people say when their original point is particularly ill-founded.

Everyone loves dogs on mumsnet and in everyday life too. Everywhere. Not sure it’s that popular though.

As pp said cats crapping in gardens or being outside. As me and fellow cat owners say we don’t know where the cat shits and yes they’re allowed to roam. I’ve never given a flying F where my cats have gone. All neutered, spayed and chipped.

I think this one has evolved. I was chastised by many on a thread maybe 18 months ago for NOT having a loo brush!

I would say MN is marginally less liberal than the general population.

Thinking about not just my friends and family but general people I meet, anyway.

Depends what the dog is doing, if it’s savaging someone and the owner says “he’s just being friendly” then huh? Or dog at table in pub restaurant. Or dog near patrons when out. Whether you like it or not. I don’t mind dogs though.

And only at Christmas, when it’s a Leap Year.

Really?

6 months relationship, not her longest by far. I said someone you know because people on here think you shouldn't date the ex of even a friend

We certainly are. I will never "other" people. You are comfortable doing it.

I only joined a couple of years ago. I thought it was going to be a middle class intellectual left wing cliché of a place. I was proved wrong.

Yes! Anyone seen to be tipsy whilst on keyboard on MN is quickly admonished. And said to have a problem… 🙄

@Theworldsgonemadagain beat me to it!

REFORM

I will always prioritize the safety of women and children.

I refuse to pander to the movement that women can become men or men become women. They can't.
