AIBU to tell a secret?! I don’t even have kids! I just find Mumsnet hilarious 
It's always the chuffing menopause on Mumsnet!This was a response to a thread from someone who feels depressed at turning 40. She’s not even bleeping 40 yet!
Menopause or perimenopause for anything amiss after the age of 35. Once you're 50, then it's early onset dementia.It's always the chuffing menopause on Mumsnet!
And crime that you don’t get in the naice leafy villagesHappy Valley is far too northern for the mn brigade, what with all them there terraced streets and funny accents
What's freekah?I can’t wait for Happy Valley tonight . I’ve got a roast chicken tray baked with potatoes and tomato,freekah and salad and I’m saving it to eat while I watch .
edited to say soz I thought I was on the food and drink thread! Not the first time I’ve done this![]()
OMG are you lower class or summat?!What's freekah?
I am under class, lower than the lowest of the lower class. I thought quinoa was pronounced QUIN - NOAH until about a month ago. I would make a rit mumsnetter.OMG are you lower class or summat?!(I dont know either...)
It’s a grain you can cook up instead of rice for a wee change . I hadn’t heard of either til I lived in the Middle East and it’s bloody expensive here. I used to work in a heath shop and buy loads when it was reduced near its sell buy date.What's freekah?
I mispronounce it just to annoy peopleI still can’t pronounce quinoa even though I’ve been told a million times![]()
I know it's supposed to be keen-waaaaaah but I say it how it's written because I just can't bring myself to sound like that much of a wanker.I still can’t pronounce quinoa even though I’ve been told a million times![]()
You met the lovely sparklingbrook then? The official mumsnet police officer/GP receptionist. Very busy, very important.Hi everyone, I’ve not posted on this thread before and I’ve skimmed a few pages back and not seen this mentioned, but sorry if you’ve already discussed it!
I love my twice daily mumsnet-scroll ritual, I think it’s genuinely a really great place for support on certain topics if the thread stays small/respectful, but the rest of it just makes me howl
anyway, my current gripe - has anyone noticed there’s a specific poster going on loads of AIBU threads and passive-aggressively saying they should have posted on another board and not AIBU? I’m desperate to tell them to get a lifeit’s a bloody message board, who cares? Besides, there’s topics for literally everything - if everyone posted only on the specifically relevant topic then there’d be no posts left in AIBU
