ha! Sounds like a great rumour tbf. Honestly the kids would all probably have a far happier life in the outer Hebrides than in the fishbowl they're currently growing up in.

Mumsnet still manages to baffle me every day. Someone can say that they gave their child a Mcdonalds and posters will say that it's abusive and awful parenting. But if someone continues popping out 4 kids when they only have 1 bedroom then apparently that's fine and responsible parenting. I know people can sometimes have quads or whatever and would have to make do, but these people are actively choosing to make a 14 year old share with 3 siblings including a 1 year old
Posters on MN just like to take a contrary view
OP - a dog walker just put dog poo in my bin. Aibu to be pissed off?
MN - it is just a bin why do you care? I'd rather it was in my bin than on the pavement etc etc
Different OP - I just put my dog's tit in someone's bin. Wibu?
MN - yes very unreasonable. Take it home. That poor person will have to clean their bin and they might not even have hands etc etc.

There's a thread on there about engagement rings and the cost. Their idea of a cheap ring and my idea of a cheap ring are worlds apart. Mine is silver with some sparkly stones in, bought from a little shop in Santorini for a few quid, and my wedding ring is also silver, bought from Silver by mail. Obviously my husband is completely and utterly disrespectful and he should have spent at least one month's salary on the ring. I'd rather go on holiday than spend a couple of grand on a ring.
Oh golly. I'm all good with shared rooms with a sibling of a similar age. But not that set up!
It is funny though how often they go with the "I grew up like that and I'm fine!" argument. You sure about that?

Some people don't have the space for each child to have an individual room, but expecting a teenager to share with a baby is a bit off.
This definitely isn't a man wanting women to talk about milking their titties is it
Probably a pervert, but how does she know for certain she doesn't have a pituitary tumour?This definitely isn't a man wanting women to talk about milking their titties is it

Here's a weird one for you....*whispers* I don’t like Mars bars…
I don't like Mars bars either, but when I was a kid my Mum would cut them into slices and sit and eat them and for reasons I cannot begin to explain it tastes different to biting into the whole bar.
Thus I can only eat Mars Bars if sliced.
I fully accept that is weird.
I think giving a vivid description of being in the bath gave it away somewhat. Urgh.
Talking about handling and stroking her boobs as well...another perv seeking wank fodder on a parenting forum.
I used to make my poor grandad peel my apples for me before I’d eat them, and then I’d eat the peel separately
I was an odd kid though as I’d only eat pasta/sauce in separate bowls, beans with toast not on toast, and even now I can’t mix foods on the same fork (though as we’ve seen im not overly discerning about what I’ll eat!)GRISTLE
What will you tell the coroner when he finds you full of GRISTLE
I used to do that with apples.I used to make my poor grandad peel my apples for me before I’d eat them, and then I’d eat the peel separately
When I eat now, I eat all of the same food items before moving onto another bit on my plate - think eating all the carrots on a Sunday dinner, then all the meat, then all the potatoes, etc. they can touch and stuff but I just like to eat all of one thing before I start on another
Obviously in a meal like lasagne or cottage pie, I’ll eat that together but still eat any accompaniments separately. It makes my husband (DH) roll his eyes. We’re on an all inclusive at the min (already got my excuses ready for the coroner - excessive carbs and too much gin) and husband keeps laughing at me because he’s like “this food goes really well with this food” and I won’t mix them
Glad to know I’m not the only one!!!I used to do that with apples.

Indeed. Both my parents grew up in severe poverty with a million siblings and a lot of them are decidedly not at all fine.
I reckon if we dig a bit deeper, that boy is the kingpin of a criminal gang who specialise in the old 'five finger discount'.
Why are the 4 boys sharing a room but the princess gets her own? Will the bad brother willies get her if she has to share?
@NoddyFromToytown are you sure you’ve not got The Fats? You live in the North and eat in an ND manner. Are you sure you’re not a hefty 9 stone putting strain on DNHS? I saw a photo of your dinner and I think you should attend some SureStart cooking classes. <middle class face>.

Never tell Mumsnet you can’t mix food. They’ll have you diagnosed with something before you can blinkI used to make my poor grandad peel my apples for me before I’d eat them, and then I’d eat the peel separately
