No mention of Boden or nespresso anywhere in here though….
There was an advert, I absolutely thought it was under a giant dome for years.
The swimming pool is under a giant dome BUT…. (Whispers)…. So is butlins 
The accommodation (cp) is all in the woods (at least the nearest one to us is).

The Middle Class clothes thread is hilarious and so true, and I can’t work out of the OP is trolling them or not. Her comment about one of the Toast dresses looking like something a religious cult member with 19 children would wear had me in hysterics. They recommend the most awful expensive clothes when people ask for advice, but if I’m going to spend £150 on a dress I don’t want to end up looking like a Victorian governess!
I'm actually crying with laughter
Come on, own up. Which Tattler was it?!? That was hilarious
I too believed CentreParcs was under a dome, like in the Simpsons Movie. Never been tempted to go, Mr Weaver would kick off big time, but I did consider it (for about 10 seconds) when the kids were small, and then it all came out about how expensive everything was and how you had to book everything. Horses for courses I guess.
She needs to get over to tattle

Hallelujah. I have found my people.
I CANNOT stand MN. I used to rage-read but find myself unable to even do that now.
They are:
- As mentioned, obsessed with class. And their stupid use of the words 'naice' and 'vair' to go along with their class talk. And all the little hallmarks of class that they love to throw in too - the old Barbour jackets and the beat-up Land Rover and the muddy wellingtons and their 'very rural' home and their chocolate Labs.
- Misandrists. Everything is a man's fault. Everything! I can write a dissertation on this one.
- Hypocrites. It's family money when earned/inherited by the husband but the woman's money when earned or inherited by her.
- Mum shaming. They always shame other women but they think they're so subtle in doing so. Sugar, fruits, baby formula, screentime, sleep schedules, etc etc...they're all sticks to beat other mums with for their horrific parenting.
- Stupid terms like 'ducks in a row' or 'picky bits' (WTAF?) words like 'chocs' and 'jammies'. Give me strength
- LTB. This is an actual serious one. I can't imagine how many impressionable and emotional women looking for advice or a listening ear at a low point, may have been encouraged and pushed into breaking up with their spouse or partner over some minor infraction or non-issue. If a man has a good female friend, it's an emotional affair. If he spends some money on a hobby, it's financial abuse. If he goes to the pub, he's a deadweight and useless father. If he gets annoyed, he's an abusive narcissist. If he watches porn, he's a misogynistic pervert who wants to harm all women. This is genuinely destructive and malicious behaviour that most of the MN posters would not apply to their own lives but live for the drama of witnessing it in other people's lives.
- Forever inconvenienced by their in-laws and elderly parents. As someone from a South Asian/ West Indian background, I find their attitudes really insensitive.
- Fantasists. I have a professional, average-paid job and I can't find the time to devote 2 hours daily to MN so how, pray tell, can the 100k earners devote upwards of 6 hours daily to arguing on a keyboard? What high-flying job would allow that much free time on a regular basis?
There's so much more but I'll stop now. It's just nice to know I am not the only one who wants to break something when they venture on there.

You've articulated everything I think way better than I could have
I always wonder what happens when mumsnetters have sons and those sons start growing up into young men. Does the mother's love overcome the indoctrinated misandry, or do the sons hit 18 and then that's it, they are son of satan?!?
To be honest I am convinced many mumsnet users have that weird mindset where no one is good enough for their son and hates their sons wives and gfs because mummy is always better.You've articulated everything I think way better than I could have

It’s such a load of bollocks. There’s currently a thread about a kid having to think about how much screen time they have, obviously they’re going to do some sort of class survey and probably a maths project / graphs based on it, but the absolute hysterics about ‘school invading my privacy’ is off the scale. So much ridiculous drama over nothing
Hi , just looking for a bit of advice. Please be kind. AIBU to leave my 3 week old baby and my 5 year old for no more than five hours whilst I pop to the hairdressers and get my hair done. What do you think? I think I know the answer but wanted to ask the wise owls on here. You’ve been a font of helpful information.
Someone has posted a response saying that she’s ‘in tears‘ over the remarks because she’s just brought a dress from Toast and was looking forward to wearing it
As if you've come over from there to check
I think it's because the swimming area under cover so I assumed the whole place was under there
I want to know why so many of them have builders in their houses all the time. ‘What coffee shall I buy the builder?’, ‘do I say hello to it?’, ‘my builder had the audacity to look at me - should I report him?’ etc. I don’t think I’ve ever once had a builder in my house or even know anyone who has to be honest. Then again I’m not middle or upper class so that might be why! 
I agree with everything/most things but then again i am still on MN why stick to one forum when you can be on them all.
