Yes, rage bait.
It is written in the style that Chatgpt thinks working class people talk. I give you ,'like proper done'. There has been a spate of these with the same tone and similar dilemmas.
Good lord.
These must be pisstakes. No-one, least of all the bride's mam, would wear either of these monstrosities. I suppose if you want the groom's family to think he's marrying into madness, it might be a good choice.
duck me, it's Krusty the Clown!

As if anyone would really confess to being an active MN user. I sure as hell wouldn't!
'Cooly dramatic', apparently!
The first one looks like something the itv drama wardrobe department would put a middle class painter in while she potters around her huge, airy house while her husband murders his mistress.
News just in - if you’re a size 14 you won’t live to see your grandchildren.
Some absolute wrong'un wants to eat on a train. One reply said people would hate being near her because of the - Constant eating and drinking noises, potential rustling. All food smells too.
Surely everyone goes NC with any friend or relative who gets larger than a size 10 anyway, so anyone who is a size 14 wouldn't have any contact with their grandchildren.
That utter windup merchant with the weird husband who can smell people that have been in his house is back with more bullshit.
He's been cheating apparently and she's getting a nanny and off to AA.
Nobody believes her on the thread
It's the friends house one in AIBU

It reads like it's badly cobbled together from reading young adult novels in an attempt to speak like a teenager, but wildly missing the mark.
Also where the duck is it dark at 7pm in July
Edit: Serena beat me to it with the YA fiction feel

In the last few days I've seen a few threads, adult children didn't come to see cousins baby, friends don't come to see my performances and husband was nasty about my gym goals, and a LOT of the replies are basically 'you care, no one else does'. And I think no wonder so many of them have constant conflict with everyone around them! I'm not interested in random babies, choirs or gym workouts but I am interested in my friends and family, so if they have a baby, perform something or achieve a goal then I ask questions, look at photos, attend events, send congratulations etc. It really puts the I've lost all my friends' 'My SIL hates me' 'My friends left me out of a meet up' posts into context!
But I'm size 20 and I've met my grandchild, so I'm very confused now, have I early onset dementia as I'm a very old nearly 50ish and will forget about it

I’m going back to work soon, I’m thinking of starting a thread on how unfair it is that I can’t be a SAHM. because DH doesn’t earn six figures and my mum and stepdad refuse to die so I can’t get my inheritance. Heck, even my Nan’s still going strong at 90.
I am actually very lucky because childcare will be shared between my parents and my two sisters who live nearby (there’s one in London and one in Leeds who selfishly won’t move back to Wales) and my lovely neighbour who shares the school run. Plus I’m working condensed hours so full time but only 3 days.
Lads, I’m still dreading it! I’ve done a couple of KIT days though and enjoyed seeing my (mostly) lovely colleagues again and catching up on the gossip. Seren has left her husband and moved in with office lothario Hari whose girlfriend also works for the company, and I’m excited for the next instalment

On a serious note, I know it’s mixed feelings going back but you have a great support network around you by the sounds of it and I wish you the best
