Things That Mumsnet Will Not Tolerate

[CompleteOvaryAction]

Not working
Being rich
Extra-marital affairs

please add to the list of things that, if mentioned in passing, are guaranteed to derail a thread.

The hatred towards Americans and all aspects of American culture always surprises me I mean there's countries where child marriage is normalised and women can't go out without covering their faces and I'm yet to see anyone dedicate an inch of the vitriol they show to the USA towards those places.

Anything that might be even remotely considered porn, or porn-adjacent, or basically even mildly sexy

'Screens'

Ultra processed foods

Husbands who like football

Dogs being allowed in shops

Going more than 24 hours with a shower

Drinking more than one glass of wine a fortnight

Being unable to drive

Different opinions

people opting out of answering the door to a random stranger

people who vote neither Labour nor Conservative

rhotic accents

baby names from other languages/cultures that are unfamiliar to Anglophones

saying that men exist who do not use porn

anything that's typical, routine, or normal in NI, Scotland, and/or Wales but not in England

Sending a child to private school for the quality of the teaching / facilities / extra-curricular opportunities, and not so they don't have to mix with state school children / networking / exam results.

Planning a holiday that's costs more than £100 per person.

Enjoying makeup, its purchase and application.

Based on a recent thread- Couples having a 'row'. Its absolutely not normal to have a minor argument with your DH then go into separate rooms afterwards. Apparently no one has ever rowed with their DH, couples therapy is needed, anger management and perhaps domestic abuse.

Anyone feeling any anger, resentment or stress in being a married couple or parent. You know, you can't possibly snap at your kids when you're in a rush to get to school/work and they've still not got their shoes on despite being asked 10 times.

All men are useless, leave the bastard

Oh no, what's wrong with shower gel?

Justified.

Joint accounts

I've never understood it, either. No one here condemns societies where FGM is customary, but everything about America, from the cheese to the electoral college, is utterly deplorable.

It's not a welcoming environment for Americans. If I'm honest, I'm surprised that any of us are here.

Spider willies on your washing

Brexit.

Old people

Not being married if you have kids.

In the US in some states children can marry yet not divorce- google Fraidy Reiss.
People generally hate Dubai & Saudi Arabia more than the US, & rightly so!, in the posts I've seen. I know some are stupid & out of proportion on the US.

Generally making a bad decision or a decision which turned out badly particularly if it is in relation to a choice in partner.

10 years later the OP desperately needs advice on how to leave but before it can be unlocked needs to retrace EXACTLY what she knew when she married him and why she decided to stay. Extremely helpful!

People condemn FGM fiercely on here, as they should. But the countries...I'd say a lot of people here are v anti Middle East. Some may not criticise the countries bc of mistaken PC, & still criticise US harshly, that's wrong.

Pregnancy announcements.

Definitely the long detailed or, heaven forbid, entertaining post

Vegans
WFH (well 50/50 on that one)
Leanne from Traitors :)

Single-use plastic.

Anyone in receipt of benefits
towel sharing
blended families
opinions that are different to their own

Oh and Debt

I'm an ex model who made my living off being
"sexy".

I live in Canada with my adopted son who was born in Africa and fell in love with a trans man.

I have family photos of my black/immigrant/ LGBTQ family everywhere in my house.

I also send out photo Christmas cards.

I have a group of girlfriends I adore.

I have a home filled with pink decor.

I love Pinterest and have one of " those homes".

It's me.

MN is not thrilled with me.

I'm amazed no one has said weight loss injections.
