Mumsnet #2

[Chunkeylaydee]

It’s under the holidays topic and B&b want me to pay a fine.

One of DH's friends from school has worked at GCHQ for the last 25 years. He happily uses loads of SM. He's always said that if someone with the expertise wants to hack you then there's really sweet FA you can do about it.

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

"Raging for you" is one I particularly hate.

And ‘is there room on the bus to hell’

The thing with the lunchbox threads is they often suggest stuff like pasta in a flask. Do they even have any idea of how much of a faff that is for kids and staff?

Where can I find the lunchbox threads? I need a laugh

The one where you aren’t allowed to walk between caravans….completely bonkers!

 

[doctordoctor]

…..or saying girl instead of woman

 

[EmilyChambers]

The one where the boyfriend wants a "man cave" in one of their spare 2 bedrooms and she wants to know if she's unreasonable to say no because she wants a baby in 5 years and that will be the babies room is quite amusing

Wish my kids would go in a play pen.

Sorry to lower the tone, but it always amazes me how many of them claim to never fart in front of their ‘DH’. There are some who’ve been married for 20 plus years and have never farted in front of them. Do they have corks stuck up their backsides or something?

I mean if you can’t trump in your own home when can you? Everyone farts, it’s natural and normal.

There is an advice section on here

The women on Mumsnet are judgemental and competetive with it though. Nobody would give a fuck if they weren't going, "Oh, I couldn't possibly eat 1200 calories a day!" implying that others have no self restraint, when that's literally what you'd feed a toddler. I'm not saying people who don't eat because they're not hungry are joyless.

The whole world is judgemental of fat people. People can like what they like, but I think competitive self-deprivation and one-upmanship when life is so short is the very definition of joyless.

I completely agree, but judging people for bragging about under eating by bragging about over eating, it's just doing the same thing backwards.

Thin people are judged too. Women are judged for their bodies no matter what shape. I think we need to stop talking about what we eat and how we look as if it's a competition. It shouldn't even be a taking point.

That’s what I thought Centreparcs was like too! I was quite disappointed it wasn’t actually under a giant dome.
I have a friend that goes every year and I just don’t get the appeal. To me, it sounds like a Haven/Butlins for the middles class. It’s soooo expensive for what it is. No wonder they love it on MN.

This is what’s confused me, I’ve not been but local NCT mums go on and on and then you see the Insta posts and it’s a child on a small wooden play frame like I’d be up for going as it’ll be cheaper and so much easier than European holidays but it just looks so shit?

I thought she was one of the biggest fantasists on there? She’s been namechecked on the previous MN thread on here and on Reddit MNTrolls so don’t feel too sorry for her!

I Don't feel.sorry for her at all. I barely remember her. I was just curious about what she did that wound them up so much! I hadn't been on mn for ages till I found the thread on tattle. iIt's still as bonkers as ever over there.

 

[Hunsgraveyard]

Can someone explain to me why people seem to post a thread at the most unconventional times!?

Eg- husband having a heart attack- need a hand hold waiting for ambulance

If that was a normal Person surely their focus would be on their husband or whatever the situation is.

That's one which has always mystified me too!

 

[Chunkeylaydee]

The French aren't that bad are they?

I don’t think so but this parent does. Apparently history is a waste of space

 

[The212]

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!”

This really cracked me up

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

I honestly think these lot reckon anyone with a Land Rover on lease is a HNWI.
