They seem to have skipped on all the shagging though…unless it’s their DH playing away!I used to read Jilly Cooper novels back in the day and I think that's where a lot of their ideas about being posh come from..

Really posh/old money types find it vulgar to talk about money. It’s seen a very nouveau riche and tacky.They are obsessed and shouting about it all just shows that most of them have no real money, or if they do they’re all terribly nouveau riche and they just flashing cash on the obvious to be noticed. There’s a saying that ‘money talks, wealth whispers’. Truly wealthy people tend not to be that noticeable, and certainly aren’t as obsessed with the outward trappings as your typical Mumsnetter.
I don't think I've ever seen so skeptical about posts (there has been the odd one elsewhere that I've questioned) until I started lurking on MN.The mat leave one. Obvious troll. It’s concerning how gullible some of the people posting on there are
ETA also the one where the OP has apparently only paid off £42k of her mortgage in 19 years and her husband’s added ‘a little bit’ every time they remortgaged. Sure..
Is there anything on there anymore that isn’t purely fantastical?
And a trench coat, they all have them as a classic piece but I can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing oneI don't understand how they all have such ridiculously dated ideas about fashion (crisp white shirt tucked into skinnies with a cashmere cardigan and statement necklace of course, very french). I'm nearly 34 and well aware of what is in fashion. I even look young enough to pull (some of) it off. I'm all for not following trends but they're supposedly mums of 3 year olds but dress like my nearly 60 year old mum, the stuff they wear has NEVER been in style for their age group.
Then they argue over whether to belt the coat in a ‘fun way’ or a ‘classic way’ or ‘I belt it in a chic knot, think French women’.And a trench coat, they all have them as a classic piece but I can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing one
I saw a lady in a trenchcoat on the tube last week. While it suited her, she looked a bit old-fashioned in it!And a trench coat, they all have them as a classic piece but I can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing one
Don‘t you know a large portion of fish and chips could easily feed a family of four for a week.Someone just started a thread about fish and chips
So far we have ‘no one actually eats a large fish and chips though do they’ and ‘a regular portion of chips serves 2 or 3 hungry adults.
I also find it has made me cynical about other discussion boards I'm on. It's so endlessly trolled, I don't believe anything on there anymore.I don't think I've ever seen so skeptical about posts (there has been the odd one elsewhere that I've questioned) until I started lurking on MN.
It’s a wonder they care about the cost of living crisis so much when their food shopping is £1.99 a week for a family of 6.Don‘t you know a large portion of fish and chips could easily feed a family of four for a week.
I suspect a few have slunk over and dragged their head wobble cliches with them. That’s what the block button is for.When I see a put down on here I often wonder if the poster is a Mumsnetter who has strayed.
Whenever I see someone on here agree with a post by saying “Quite” I automatically think they’ve come from mnI suspect a few have slunk over and dragged their head wobble cliches with them. That’s what the block button is for.
You have to be on high alert.Whenever I see someone on here agree with a post by saying “Quite” I automatically think they’ve come from mn
It’s because so many of them have eating disorders and are disgusted/terrified of what most people consider normal portions.Why are people on there so obsessed with portion sizes and showing how they can feed their entirely family of three strapping huge boys on a single lettuce leave? What does it give them?
I think a lot of them are also lying about their weight too though. There’s currently a ‘show me your (engagement/wedding) ring’ thread and if the size of the hands are anything to go by, 80% of them are overweight (not that there’s anything wrong with that btw, but I honestly think there’s a fair few on there who are living out a fantasy life where they’re a size 8, higher earner with a perfect husband and kids).It’s because so many of them have eating disorders and are disgusted/terrified of what most people consider normal portions.
