True class. Teatowel sack dress and tablecloth trousies. If only I had known how to dress to impress!
This outfit wouldn't fly in my nearest city. Reactions would range from laughter and pointing to probable stoning.

She knows when her birthday is? Is she 4? Birthdays stop at 10 don't they?
At 10? My DC know full well the time for balloons and parties and presents galore ends aged 4. After that, it's just an ordinary day, except on their 18th birthday, when they get the keys to the bedsit you have rented in their name before going NC.

Thread 9 salt path and they have degenerated into Chatgpt poetry on the first page.

Just realised there are no page numbers any more, just scrolling down and down and down. Tedious.

You let yours stay until 18? Mine were out at 16 and we immediately moved and didn’t tell them the address.

If you zoom in I'm sure you can see Blackburn Royal Hospital printed on the pyjamas and that is a hospital gown! 😉
No wonder the NHS is on its knees - all these designers having their pancreases etc out so that they can rob the gowns and blankets!

If he's only just made consultant then he's only just started on the 6 figure salary - surely she should have considered this before marrying a NHS povvo!

And orthopaedics is the worst for any private work - he should have chosen his specialty better!
And, and…. she’s not even married to him, refers to him as DP so Mumsnet rules mean that she’s financially screwed anyway!

Woman complaining her life is ruined because her 9 year old granddaughter comes over to stay with her dad every weekend and she “takes over the TV”.

My nan would have done anything for me when I was a kid and would still do anything for me now. And I’d do anything for her. But duck me, watching Britain’s Got Talent or some other vapid Saturday night TV tit is more important to this woman than enjoying her time with her grandchild.
