I do hope that Mum had a massive bleeping bottle of decent gin and tonic in the trolley as well. It still wouldn't be enough reward for not ripping the entitled little rit's head off and screaming down the bloodied stump in front of everybody.

Dear God why did I go to a National Trust place on half term? The entire cast of Mumsnet were there.
“Horace please don’t get your trousers dirty”
“Oh darling I understand that you’re feeling a little pressured right now but could we just consider this painting”
“Well done sweetie, well done” (to the kid kicking off)
“Now Pernicious and Constantinople, what did we learn about (original house owners) from the drawing room?”
“No Tortellini, we don’t touch mud darling”
“Let’s just sit down and have some delicious canapés”
duck me.

Tortelini genuinely made me laugh

You have absolutely nailed every NT experience I've ever had
And I hope she grounded him until his 30th birthday!
Soft play and McDonald’s is more my vibe.
I was considering how my mum would've reacted and concluded I'd still be heating the ringing in my ears decades later from the clip round the ear!
Indeed! I would still have been feeling blindly underneath the shelving trying to find my head.
Oh no the first type!Dreams when you're asleep or working class people wanting to be accountants and lawyers type dreams? Because I can see MN thinking the latter type of dreams are problematic
She's triggered by the fact she's experiencing things she doesn't want to.
Parents like that should be shot
I believed it, but like a poster pointed out it's yet another situation where people are egged on by posters who don't have to be there for the consequences. Yeah the person shouldn't have parked there and she didn't know how long they would be, but the OP didn't even end up going out so wasn't actually inconvenienced at all and ended up causing a massive problem on a Sunday and costs for someone. I would have just waited and then gone out and told the person that thanks to them being a massive bleep I had to miss work.
Don't get me wrong I would have been furious, and the person should have been punished (with a parking ticket) but ultimately the punishment didn't fit the crime in this specific situation!
My dreams can be wild. I have still not quite forgiven MrMoonFace for his affair in my dream, even though it was years ago (double figures)
I also scream, yell and physically react in dreams. The other night I woke myself up punching my pillow, a couple of weeks ago I full kicked out my legs. I think I may have laughed once but usually I scream in terror or yell "No".
My boss is always horrible in my dreams, I have told him I don't like "Dream Frank"
Yeah parking threads are like catnip to them, and I do think it was overkill.
Omg I do the same!! Sit bol upright in bed shouting.My dreams can be wild. I have still not quite forgiven MrMoonFace for his affair in my dream, even though it was years ago (double figures)

It's sooo much fun in our bedroom at night poor husband (DH?) gets the fright of his life at 2am.
Nah, it's great when despite the best efforts of their offspring to be the most thoroughly dislikeable hole in the entire world, it has absolutely zero impact on them. Anything else rewards said Little tit.
My dreams are beyond boring. I'm genuinely jealous of people with exciting dreams. Highlights from recent years include: looking at myself in the mirror, noticing a single long eyebrow hair drooping down across my face; discovering a nit in my child's hair; grabbing my own hand whilst asleep and dreaming it was a ghost. A good one from the other day was me laughing at how much I was snoring.
The alternative lyrics to Gabrielle's hit single in a parallel universe
She’s probably the sort of mumsnetter who brags about her fantastic relationship with her teenage child.
More lack of basic comprehension:
Poster “can’t make the maths work”.
Well love, even my northern brain gets that you sell your house, and buy somewhere cheaper. Probably smaller because now you don’t need 4 beds as the children have moved out, so you only need one.
The lack of comprehension comes from the fact most of them won’t contemplate anything less than a 4 bed in the area they’re in now. So they aren’t getting how they would sell their house and buy pretty much the same house, but much cheaper so they have loads of cash to give tarquin a deposit for his London place.
Horrified at any suggestion of moving to a cheaper area “but what about my ladies lunches” or god forbid a flat, with ghastly neighbours so close they may as well move in.

Oh duck, I have something in common with Shithole, I need a shower now or an exorcism.We're getting some new Shithole lore here! She may be one of the few people in Britain who prefers the 'big light'

Unless your living room is covered in dog tit and your stairs are strewn with rubbish I think you’re good.
