Does anyone else enjoy reading boards about subjects that they normally have no interest in? I'm a cat person through and through but I LOVE reading The Doghouse on MN. MN doggie people are absolutely fucking deranged (and I say this as a mad cat lady). They love nothing better than giving someone whose having a hard time a good kicking and they make dog ownership look like the least fun thing ever.

Yes! I love the horse topic even though I don't ride and have zero interest in horses otherwise.

I am an adult and can confirm that I do need biscuits. M&S extra filling custard creams to be precise.

I love the doghouse. I have cats but it’s put me off having a dog completely.

According to the doghouse, once you have a dog, your quality of life and mental health no longer matters. The only thing that matters now is that the dog. Even if it’s rabid and shits on your side of the bed every day. It’s part of the family now.

Yes - the Royal Family board, to my shame.
It's not that I've absolutely no interest in the RF, I like pictures of pretty clothes and so forth, but I just don't get how absolutely crazy the Will & Kate Vs the Harry & Meghan thing is and how absorbed people get.
Posters have such up-and-downers on there and seem to be there for most of the day.
Catching up on it is like watching a particularly virulent soap!

I am allergic to horses, but I love the Tack section.

Cats are bastards. Especially the little swine in my avatar.

Horse people are absolutely fucking bonkers. I grew up quite horsey and occasionally think about getting back into it. Having to use a yard and talk to horsey people (apart from the astronomical expense) is largely what puts me off!

I have a horse (pony), but my yard only has sane people, as the yard manager is idiot intolerant (thank god)

Which thread is this, please?
In AIBU - “scammed by fake Seasalt web page”. It wasn’t even a real website, it was a Facebook ad for “Seasalts” clothes at 3.99 each.

Yes! I’m strangely drawn to S&B despite being the proud owner of a pair of the ugly shoes as featured in the recently deleted thread about ugly shoes, and being size Walmart which means I can only fit one finger into the leg of any of the pants/trousers discussed and recommended there.

Oh, it’s good! They don’t get ‘proper jobs’ because it’s easier to con thick people out of cash

On a “what’s for dinner” thread…(I like to play MN bingo on those threads). Please don’t invite me for dinner at your place if this is your dinner:

Yes, I read the Stepparenting board despite being neither a stepparent, nor a parent (if you don't count the 3 cats and 2 dogs).

It is simultaneously fascinating and horrifying to realise every evil Disney stepmother somehow made it to the 21st Century and got a Mumsnet account.

I'm a bit addicted to that one too. Nobody on there seems to make the connection that if the ex wife is such a cunt then either their DH has terrible taste or that maybe he has a type. Especially the ones who are supposedly addicts and psychopaths with years of police involvement. What attracted him?

It's 7pm in Thailand and I've been travelling since 5.30 this morning to get here, so I've only just finished my first proper meal of the day, which was..........


a salad of absolutely gargantuan proportions - the picture doesn't do it justice, that bowl was about 10cm deep. I got you all - I've been a MNer under deep cover all along! Sayonara everyone, me and my size Japanese ass are going back to my natural home so I can bleach my arsehole and be incapable of doing basic life shit.
(oh no wait, I also ordered a MASSIVE curry, some MASSIVE spring rolls and a MASSIVE chocolate fudge sundae because I'm a normal person, instead of nibbling on the end of a pumpkin seed and declaring myself stuffed. Guess I'd better stay on Tattle with the other fatties after all)

Yes! Also ‘the ex wife is a violent psycho who screams constantly, drinks Malibu around the clock, brings strange men home and throws 36 hour parties, my husband sees the kids one day out of every 100 but doesn’t want to pay maintenance to support her social life can we reduce it’ ‘have you been to court for custody’ ‘no, kids should be with their mum’ - erm… what?

But then you also have the ‘my step children are 45 and 47, they hit me, bite me and spit on me, they steal from me and trash the house AIBU to have dh have a word?’ ‘Yes, you’re their stepmother not their mother’ ‘were you the other woman?’ ‘Children come first’ ‘you chose a man with children’.

I think the problem arises from the majority of ‘first wives’ posting about evil step mothers and the majority of step mothers posting about evil mothers and very few seeing the grey between the black and white.

I would never be a step parent!
