OMG. I thought it was going to be funny but it wasn’t. And if half of the misery posts went exactly as described, I’ve lived a really sheltered life because I had no idea there were quite so many adults abusing their kids, smashing their toys, taking to their beds, getting drunk and storming out etc etc.
They can't have all the other Hyacinth Bouquet wannabes on there thinking they are (gasp!) Northern or (clutches pearls!) Northern and working class with such words
It's a slippery slope. Next thing they know, they'll have a (the horror!) husband called Dave who is a tradesman!
Two adult women and their respective 9 yr old daughters. One daughter likes to dance everywhere - street, bedroom, pavement, school as she ‘loves it’. She twirls in front of the other girl who tells her to stop as it’s annoying. Dancing girl says no, and continues to prance about. Other girl apparently pushes dancing girl to the floor and says her mother also thinks it’s annoying and so do school teachers. Dancing girl says second girl couldn’t be a dancer because she’s too ugly. Both girls get a telling off but story is told from perspective of dancing girls mother, who seems to think it’s ok to dance everywhere as she’s practicing for a Christmas play.
Not guilty in this case!
I've read the thread. Lots of people mentioning your man I seeThere’s a thread on there at the moment about people you fancy but at ashamed of, and someone has posted that they really fancy a young Adolf Hitler and sometimes fantasise about him when shagging their husband. Somehow I think that poster is trolling them
I spent much of last year telling HCPs that I wouldn't notice a dry cough as that's how my asthma showsAnyone seen the thread about the crazy woman who wanted her colleague to go home because he coughed?! Then spent the whole thread telling people to fuck off
.Also do not DARE make any mention of presents/gift lists etc on your wedding invites as it’s terribly vulgar according to the MN wise onesMN is a toxic toxic place.
I sometimes go on the wedding forum, i don't know why because they're generally vile and all show off that they spent under £250 on their whole wedding and if you dare spend more you're stupid, and showy and wasting your money. They will be vile to you if you suggest spending a bit of money on your wedding.
Every MN has worn a second hand, hand me down wedding dress that their aunt Phyllis wore, they didn't have a photographer or any guests and refused to spend any money on any wedding ring. If you ask about wedding cake suggestions you get a tirade of "that's so wasteful" ..."we didn't have a cake"..."who has a wedding cake on their wedding"

I hadnt even seen this before I posted
I thought this a while back and tried switching to tins but then they have to go in the fridge and the cats don't like really cold food and it just doesn't work. They also look at me like I'm evil when I put them solely on dry food, so it looks like it's pouches until something better comes along.Thread on there today about fruit pouches for babies and how one poster doesn't even feed her cat food pouches as it's bad for the environment. I do both and now feel insanely guilty, what d hell am I meant to feed the cat
I think you've explained it better than I managed to! The mail has published two stories on my threads on MN so I do understand. So maybe I was thinking more about comments.I dunno. Papers will publish any old shite for clickbait these days. I saw one the other day about someone whose ‘Christmas had been ruined’ because Hermes had lost their parcel, which was a 30 quid hair shaver for her partner. The most interesting thing about the article was that her boyfriend was called ‘Tank’.
I don’t know why they get so upset that their comment might end up in the online paper anyway. I often try and say something outrageous on there in the hope that it ends up on Mumsnet Madness of Twitter
My favourite thing is when they go ‘I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THE DAILY MAIL TO PUBLISH THIS’ at the top of a tedious thread about them moaning about their husband’s hobby (cycling) or their bridezilla Sister In Law.
Idk how they have the cheek to say that, especially as whenever I’ve googled anything to do with my baby it’s been SO rare to find a post post 2017? And these are the big questions eg why is poo like x, should I worry about baby coughing so much they vomit, sleep regression, blah blah blah. Some of the babies they’re speaking about in the posts Google surfaces are doing their GCSEs soon!
That’s the most middle class sentence I’ve ever heardToday the Huns are debating about juice in a school packed lunch with one poster describing juice cartons as foie gras in a carton
