The thread on the Salt Path author has no reached thread two with them all claiming of course they knew it was lies and saw through it all.

However a single mum pregnant with triplets or a poo troll? Here's my bank details and passwords and some nice tank fodder for you. Shall I also send you a photo and my address?
Thread number 3 filling up nicely now.

My workplace has a free confidential Employee Assistance helpline, tempted to send the number to ShitHole so she can get help.

I wouldn’t bother. She’d only pretend her phone had been cut off, or she’d forgotten how to use it,or she didn’t like speaking to strangers.

Those of you of a certain vintage (dementia-riddled old hags) will have heard their mothers kindly offering a choice: like it or lump it.

Apologies in advance for those of you whose mothers ghosted you, then sadly died. Before offering you something else.
My mother occasionally offered us the hard way or the easy way. The easy way is you just do what you're told. The hard way is you get a smack and then you do it anyway.
Obviously I am grey rock low contact and will be taking her house and get her put in the nastiest nursing home ever. She is in her 70s so even though she does think she has dementia, that just proves it

Not a scrap of large on either of mine, DD17 is super tall and skinny and DS15 solid muscle. Varies wildly by demographic as others have said, also familial habits around activity and food.

By demographic you just know she means povvo northerners....

How does that make sense? If they kicked the door in then presumably they went out front then round the back to do so, why not bring the son and dog back that way?

And if she's intelligent enough to realise the doors dropped in it's frame, why the duck wasn't she intelligent enough to phone her housing provider to come repair it in the first place.

She actually does my bits in.

Here's another fan in Chat that sounds like Shitholio.

I think SH meant they kicked in the door from the inside. As standard external doors open inwards I am not sure how that would work with the hinges. The Housing provider would charge her for repairs as kicking in door isn't normal wear and tear..

Fourth post in and the OP says: There's 4 or 5 in my child's class alone, and seems to be similar across the classes. I see plenty when out and about too so don't think it's an anomaly. I'm in the North though maybe it's different elsewhere?

I honestly think that wins some kind of award. Within five posts we’ve had feigned surprise at large children, a poster saying there are no large children in their child’s class, a poster talking about their athletic teen and a disparaging reference to Northerners. It’s good, but I think we’ve peaked too soon.

I don't live in 'the north' and I see loads of large children everywhere. One child (8ish) I saw the other day was on a scooter and was so large his stomach was hanging out the bottom of his t-shirt and he was turning so red he was almost purple trying to scoot along a flat, straight road. It's very sad for him but I didn't feel the need to start a thread about him on Mumsnet, or a thread about large children at all because I can't see what I would achieve or how it would help the children.

Does anyone have time to help a poor, struggling Mumsnetter. She's in AIBU and she's not sure if £400 will last her two weeks for food for one adult and one child. Luckily the child is only 5 so has lunch at school or they may starve.

I love that apparently she's decided she'll be getting rid of the things she bought too?

I think she means the catalogues or whatever it is where she bought things from.

I am hating all the people who use ChatGPT to provide answers on there. Most of the time it's utter rubbish - the person on there who posted a whole bloody page of calculations made me confused and I went to a Russell Group uni!

I'm also feeling incredibly bad about Shithole - having seen what she uncovered about her childhood I can understand why she is like she is.
I wish there was more help available for people, but there are thousands of people like her who just don't meet the incredibly tough criteria to qualify for assistance in any form these days.
