My Nan says I should be drinking Guinness daily to keep my iron levels up. I tried telling her that alcohol isn’t advised in pregnancy these days and iron tablets do the job if necessary but she’s not convinced.I’ve never been in any danger of forgetting to eat but still totally took on board the advice my midwife gave me to eat Mars Bars when breastfeeding to keep up my strength. It was over thirty years ago though and she also advised a daily Mackesons for my iron. It was obviously fine as it was on the instructions of the DNHS.
My daughter was naturally very skinny up until her mid twenties and I used to hate the looks from other mothers, and the implication that I was starving her as a child or she was anorexic as a teenager.
I don't really eat breakfast (call me a MN but I only eat when hungry and i'm never hungry until lunch!) but when I do I have it I will have a breakfast pudding 100% of the time. I also have a lunch pudding and a dinner pudding! I always say I don't really have a sweet tooth but now i've written that down and realised i have a pudding with EVERY meal I probably do have a sweet tooth after all!During Covid I was on furlough from one of my jobs so eating and drinking became a hobby as well as a necessity.
Mr Munch always says the best thing to come out of Lockdowns was my invention of “breakfast pudding “ . So normal brekkie of weetabix and a banana and then breakfast pudding of plain chocolate Kit Kat or another fave was chocolate digestives . My gift to the world I like to think .
Well I’m eating for five just in case. I’m post-menopause, had my tubes tied and haven’t had sex in a decade but you can never be too sure.I'm not pregnant and am also eating for three
But God Forbid you vote Tory on there then they're throwing abuse at you for being an uncaring selfish bitch and leaving their husbands for ticking the "wrong box" on a piece of paper.Mumsnetters really reveal their lack of morals on so many threads. Yeah people eating too much, drinking too much, smoking, taking drugs, having children, surfing, wearing heels, doing DIY, sunbathing, running, driving cars, EVERYTHING costs the nhs money. So if there’s a woman who has six kids, is five stone over weight, sunbathes every day and wears heels and she falls over and breaks her ankle do I want MY TAX MONEY going to fix her ankle? Yes! Please fix her ankle! Why is that even a question!
They show themselves up on threads about free school meals, kids getting TAs, fat people, people who smoke, alcoholics, disabled people - everywhere really! I would rather a few ‘scroungers’ get away with claiming benefits when they really should be working/working more/not getting any help, than a disabled person suffers or a child suffers or someone goes without something they need.
We are supposed to be a society which is really just a big family, which when you look at it like that makes a lot of sense why MNers hate society, they’ve gone NC with us
I agree. I don’t wear heels but if other women want to then why would I care.Also, what’s actually wrong if you want to wear something to tittilate a man? If that’s your bag then you go for it.
They hate anything sexual, even when a man isn't involved. A while ago a woman was asking about displaying her boudoir photograph and was thinking about putting it in her bedroom with a curtain over it...hardly exhibitionist of the year and no man had ever seen the pic, but they were laying into her like crazy. NatashaDancing was disgusting. Some of them (maybe ND, can't remember) said she would be committing a sex offence because her 12 year old daughter lives with her.Also, what’s actually wrong if you want to wear something to tittilate a man?

I assumed that was a sex one as well. But no, just someone bragging about having nearly a million quid in cash. I wonder where they liveHad a quick look at the thread “to ask why you pulled out” wondering if this was about something for which one would need a special hat, towel, and beaker. Much to my disappointment it was about a house purchase.
The irony of ND talking about offending when she does little other than offend the sensibilities of anyone with even a modicum of taste by posting her fashion choices.They hate anything sexual, even when a man isn't involved.

My little boy is four now and his only interest is dinosaurs. We took him to Rome and he re-enacted Jurassic Park by the Trevi Fountain. In Paris, he wanted to see if one of his dinosaurs could abseil down the side of the Eiffel Tower. I took him to Baby French and he hated it, same with Baby Gym, but he does like swimming. As for new foods, he'll eat pretty much anything though, so I could brag about that, although he's definitely not a Mumsnet kid who says 'mummy, where are the anchovies?'"To ask how to get kids interested in cultural experiences, new foods, etc" is going to be a gem.....
You can't go back to MN, we won't let you. 38 is young for peri, but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll need to part ex your noddy car for a juggernaut just yet. Enjoy MacBeth! The local theatre here shows plays direct from the RSC as well and I bloody love it, it only costs a fiver and there's a bar too.I'm glad I'm not the only one who picked up on the 'I would pay £2.6k a month just to speak to my dead ex for 5 minutes....' WTAF
Anyway guys it's been nice knowing you but I think I'll have to scuttle back off to MN now since not only am I going to watch an RSC production of Macbeth tonight (it's actually on at the cinema) but I've found out today I'm peri-menopausal at the age of thirty-fucking-eight. Goodbye teeny tiny era!
A bar? With….(whispers)….alcohol? Won’t someone think of the coroner?You can't go back to MN, we won't let you. 38 is young for peri, but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll need to part ex your noddy car for a juggernaut just yet.
