I love how on one thread people are laughing that when a woman and her husband took their kids to the cinema, the husband tripped some kids who were running around and on another people are saying to tip hot food on a child, but on this thread the tesla mum can't leave her kid in a temperature controlled car with netflix incase she gets hurt.
We have had that one … thinking of working backwards from an inquest what would you do/say
It's just how I live my life now. My husband isn't happy because I won't wash up (could cut myself and bleed to death), I won't bath (could drown), I won't shower (could slip and hit my head and die), I won't go out (could be hit by a truck and die), I won't hoover (could be electrocuted to death plugging it in) and I won't get out of bed (could trip and hit my head and die) but like I say to him, what would he tell the coronerWe have had that one … thinking of working backwards from an inquest what would you do/say
The number of MNers who will happily suggest harming a child will never stop shocking me, I find it really weird how many have decided to have children, despite hating them.
Wtf. Some people really know how to suck the joy out of lifeOn the 'how often do you have treats' thread
My ‘treat’ yesterday was a chopped red pepper. Much nicer than crisps imo.
There is a time and place for crisps and also red peppers. But one does not work in place of the other.On the 'how often do you have treats' thread

Kerr was posting on the thread again yesterday. I was quite surprised seeing the death announcement online, I must admit, but I'm also very sceptical that she was the narrator. Perhaps it was him? His writing is uncannily similar.... and perhaps he was posting what she asked him to. It never made sense to me someone that unwell being able to be so communicate that clearly. My poor Dad was talking nonsense towards the end as his liver failed. Looking back at some of her old MN posts, she was very "matter of fact", very similar to AnyFucker. Her illness posts didn't quite read in the same tone, if that makes sense.
My friend’s Geordie Nana always tagged pet onto the end of everyone’s name. If she didn’t know your name she called you pet <pause>pet. Unless she was a bit frustrated when it changed to man. Even for her granddaughters.
I remember being a bit startled when a burly bloke asked my dad "so how are you then, me lover?"They'd love the massive fella who works at the butchers near us... "nah then love what can I get yer?" to everyone...the men and the women (not that men go and do the food shopping obviously...sorry mumsnet). I like the regional differences in what you get but I've always lived in the grim wasteland of the north
I think you may have hit on something there.
Dad’s friend used to call everyone ‘me old Mara’
maybe I need to start making more effortShe sounds like a slob, full vintage evening gown and jewels is surely the only acceptable outfit. Ever. And full makeup obviously.On the what are you wearing thread, one of them has put on a Sezane blouse, Abercrombie shorts and Birkenstocks... to do housework! Is that a thing? I'm normally wearing trackies and a hoodie or my dressing gown
Calling other men love outside of his hometown definitely got my grandad into trouble...I believe the response was "I'm not your love duck!"
