MILK IN BOTTLES?! My grandparents and parents would be having fainting fits. So common to put a milk bottle on the table instead of pouring it into a jug.

Me, I just take my bowl of cereal or mug of tea to the fridge to pour the milk in from the plastic.

Nah, you're slacking! You get milk out of fridge and then take plastic bottle to the tea/coffee/cereal. Then you leave plastic bottle out for next user... HTH

I’m having a genuine, not uncommon, situation with my boyfriend’s child (and the child’s mother) and need advice and was toying with going over there to ask but you lot have scared me. I’ll suffer in silence

The petty revenge thread will descend into total lies and exaggeration I think.

So many threads like 'what secret will you take to the grave?' 'What was your best comeback?' & one ages ago about Pretty Woman moments - they start well, but turn into post after post of what sound like badly written & unbelievable scenes people have created in their minds.

The best ‘comeback’ according to 99% of Mumsnet is ‘did you mean to be so rude?’ Gets trotted out on loads of threads as though it’s the wittiest comeback in the world. Imagine saying that to someone who’s just intentionally insulted you. Lame.

I can imagine someone asking “Did you mean to be so rude?” and someone saying yes

I also hate the phrase “Are you on glue?” Glue sniffing was so 90s.

I also hate “No is a complete sentence”.

Tbf it worked the one time I tried it, accompanied by deathstare, teenage son was being really arsey about going to the one place I'd wanted to go on holiday ended up with a shamefaced apology from him.

You are the step parent so over on mumsnet land it doesn’t matter why you say it or do it will be your fault. Step parents, and in particular step mothers, are the devil incarnate.

These idiots make me laugh paying 180 pounds for a jumper from toast that is identical to the one my aunt Ethel bought from a jumble sale in 1982

When I found out I was pregnant and went to my booking in appointment with the midwife as I was leaving she said ‘what ever you do STAY AWAY FROM MUMSNET’.

Just had a look at the Toast jumpers. My great grandmother was very talented at knitting and she knitted similar jumpers us as children for less than £185.

I bet the Toast ones are hand wash only too.

What's the name of the other brand they all like? Seasalt? They willingly pay £185 a pop to look that frumpy (or at least say they do)

Seasalt clothing looks very frumpy indeed. The sandals are very 80ish too. I’m sure they all love Boden, Joules and Fatface too.

They do, and the White Company and Toast and Mint Velvet. Awful, frumpy shit that most normal people wouldn’t be seen dead in.
