This is where I think they use the term high earner / well off very, very generously over there
If that’s the only thing they are ‘grieving’ over then they lead a very fucking charmed life!
I don't think mumsnetters care about that, as long as they're accepted by other mumsnetters it's fine
Totally. I know a couple who went through a real bad patch (she adored him, he was a typical lad went out all weekend left her home with the baby coming home pissed etc). She ended up getting Very close to a man at work. She said it wasn’t physical (an emotional affair) but she was fed up of talking to her husband and not feeling heard or understood. She said man at work supported her in ways her husband wasn’t capable of. Anyway the husband found the texts between them. He was hurt but rather than splitting up it shocked him and he realised that if he didn’t want to be there for her then someone else would. They were both remorseful and went to counselling. They’re still together and seem very happy and definitely had a huge lifestyle change for both of them. I can see in their case multiple “LTB” MN moments.
That just sounds sensible to me. I think they sometimes go too fast. They have been involved in several accidents and they are on the rise. I have a vague recollection of a film on something like Watchdog or The One Show about them. One person made the point that they are meant to take the place of walking when they are on the pavement, and as these go up to approx 15 miles an hour, or more,, that is not a replication of walking speed. I am amazed there isn’t a test. It is not ableist to point out the dangers of moving vehicles on pavements, be they bikes, electric scooters or mobility scooters.

Weird to be basically setting up a half-anorexic accountability discourse around food for themselves tbh. Can’t be healthy at all, though I imagine constantly lying about the state of your family in general can’t be healthy either
There have been a couple of 'I have cancer, I have to go private because the NHS won't treat me because of Covid/my ex has left because I have cancer and I'm going to have to give up chemo halfway through my treatment because I need to go back to work to feed the children' ones recently. You just know there are people PMing for PayPal details.Yet they can’t recognise half of the troll threads
“Help, I’m down to my last £10, my twins are 6ft athletes and are wolfing down the contents of the fridge. I’m a size 8 and can manage with dust on a rice cake. My exH is a high earner but pays nothing, he had an affair and the OW has just parked her Mercedes in my drive blocking me in!”
Then someone comes along and says something perfectly acceptable about the cost/style and a big mumsnet pile on happens. I think some of the huns are on there just to be obnoxious.I like the ‘I’m looking for a pair of boots but I only have £350 to spend’ threads and they get loads of recommendations for the boots that wouldn’t look out of place on my 97 year old nan, but at least they’re LEATHER. ‘I like these, OP’ with a link to some fur lined Hotter boots that look like wellies.
It really is great here. We all seem to get along here, even if we disagree. And it is user friendly. MN is stuck in the 80s. Get stuck in.So I’ve deleted the MN app today after far too many bitchy comments for either expressing an opinion or actually pointing out law. I’ve been on the Instagrammers type forums for ages, thought I’d look at the chats to see what you’re all like…and this is the first thread I saw. Think I’ve found my people!
Exactly, It’s so hypocritical! If SAHM, as you say, they call it family money but if a poster owns her own house or has inheritance or other savings they say hide it! Imagine if it’s the other way round and a DH was squirrelling his money away theyd be bitching and saying get a solicitor. I always think the threads about SAHM are interesting as they descent into a bun fight and no one can be civil.
I was coming on to mention that thread. I can’t believe there are so many people wandering about who spend so much on a single jumper. Someone else said they wouldn’t get good enough cashmere for that amount and to spend more!On a thread about 400/500 quid jumpers, someone said they would spend more than 30 quid on a jumper and someone said...

I don't know where I'd go to get a jumper under £30.
I once laugh reacted accidentally on fb trying to heart it, to a friend telling the world she had body dysmorphia. She never accepted it was an accident.
