What about 'Get your ducks in a row' and 'All money is family money anyway'

We'd be on the floor in seconds 😂
this one always cracks me up, as

a) its only family money when the woman wants to buy something, but if she has more money than its hers as she has worked

b) i don’t know anyone who has ‘family money’ only. Everyone i know has a joint account four household bills/costs and each have a separate account for their own money

Excuse all the spelling and grammar errors, my phone had gone temporarily insane

‘DH farted in bed… LTB’
"It clearly shows that he has absolutely no respect whatsoever for you. Would he do it in front of his boss, his mother or your DC's teacher? He can control himself around everyone else OP, but clearly doesn't respect your boundaries or you as a person. LTB, but first make sure your ducks are in a row and that you have access to everything because all money is family money you know. You need to visit a solicitor and DEMAND your free half hour. You're ENTITLED to it. They HAVE to give it to you. You should get a cleaner in too and as your OP farting has clearly caused you to have PTSD, you need a nice spa break too, oh and I'd log it with 101 just in case"

I honestly don't know why any man of competent mind would stick around with one of that lot 🤣 Has to hand over all rights to every penny he earns, can't go to the pub/football, can't do any hobbies or see his friends and wo betide if he doesn't do at least 50% of everything even if he's worked a long week. And if he dares leave his socks on the floor...... 😬😬 The sad thing is the double standards, if one of them posted their "DH" was imposing conditions like that on them, it'd be LTB/he's controlling/red flag/abuse.

Me and my hubby regularly laugh at some of the mad tit on there 🤣

Mumsnet would make a fantastic drinking game. You can have a shot each time you see a comment containing one of the of the following comments or statements:

POAS
Vulva
Mooncup
Naice
Wendied
Mint Velvet
Keep us a float
Keep our heads above water
Go NC

If you see ‘Call Women’s Aid’ or ‘LTB’ that’s a double shot.

We’d all be pissed within minutes!😂

I’ve noticed a lot of eco posts on there recently - landfill and tat seem to be buzz words but they mainly use the environment to take swipes at other people’s lifestyles.

Mumsnetters are some of the most bitter, miserable and meanest people around.

Yesss!! It’s the same disease as on on Insta with influencers only engaging with “sustainability” if it’s a £400 floor length dress to shell to their minions, normal people have been making reasonably priced clothes last for years, for years!

I think one of the most bizarre reactions I ever saw was - someone posted about how they had parked slightly over the crossing at a red light and a pedestrian then walked by and purposely hit their car. A posted commented that she absolutely hates it when drivers do this and she does in fact step up on to the car to walk over it.

A typical mumsnetter -

- Hates their colleagues and would rather shovel tit then socialise with them
- Never answers the phone or front door
- Have rules about when people can text them - but don't tell people this then get annoyed when they get a text at 09:03pm
- Thinks unexpected guests are the devil
- They don't have friends and they don't need friends because they have the most wonder partner
- If you earn below 60K then you're practically a peasant
- Has the most good looking children and partners that so many strangers stop and stare

just seen a thread on someone saying her ‘elderlym (70 yrs old) neighbour has asked her out, she hasn’t given much detail so yes it can come across a bit creepy depending on the situation, eg if she is 50/60 and has spent a lot of time with him, feeling can develop, but if she is 20 then yes its creepy lol but..

can someone enlighten me, they all seem to think all men are ‘entitled, narcissistic and creepy’ etc don’t get me wrong, yes there are men like that but not every single man has a motive

If a woman has a thread on a guy asking her out in whatever sort of environment, you’re always bound to get a response saying ‘that’s creepy op’

if a guy at works asks her out, he is overstepping work boundaries, if a guy see’s you in a supermarket and starts up a conversation and asks you out, its creepy. if it’s a guy in a bar ‘run OP, red flags, guys who chat up girls In a bar are trouble, and Online dating is just guys looking for a quick bag

so please enlighten me people of tattle, in what situation is a guy allowed to ask a woman out without being creepy!? How are people genuinely meant to be meet their partners if all situations of getting to dating is ‘a red flag’

There was thread the other day about someone who’d employed a plumber and he texted and asked her out. Got loads of replies saying it was unprofessional, creepy, misogynistic, report him! etc. (I was on the fence a bit, tbh, because I do think it’s a bit unprofessional).

However. Not so long ago, there was thread where a woman was asking if it was ok to ask out the guy who’d been and fitted her boiler and there were literally pages and pages of replies egging her on and telling her to go for it, this is the 21st Century!, please update OP!

In the end, he ignored her message 🤣 but somehow it’s ok for women to do that but not men.

I don’t know if it’s down to misandry or their absolute loathing of ‘tradesmen’. I bet if their divorce solicitor was asking them on a date after an appointment, that would be perfectly ok.

I read both threads. With the first I think I would have been flattered and if he was at all good looking I would probably have had a go :ROFLMAO: Might have got a discount too.

I do think there's a hell of a lot of misandry on there. Me and my hubby often laugh at the impossible standards MN users set. Just a few examples:

Has to earn big money (obviously all to be handed over as 'family money') but can't work a moment over his working hours, definitely never pull a late one or overtime

Has to be in good physical and mental health but can't pursue any activities like sport or seeing his friends to achieve that

Can't have a different viewpoint or it's 'controlling' or a 'red flag' (although what isn't on there?!? 😂)

We know a very typical "mumsnet type" in real life through school and guess what, her husband left. Not surprised 😂🤣😂

It’s the same with sex threads. A man will post asking what to do as his wife won’t have sex with him anymore, he will be called a sex pest. A woman posts asking the same question and will be told that her husband is a porn addict and she must LTB.
