Tbf it’s a thing and the OP and most respondents thought it was batshit. IIRC the thread also attracted a SPAG pedant or two who considered the lack of punctuation distressing.

My dad died of nasopharyngeal cancer when I was 5, my mum was widowed with 5 little girls. Sadly, I have only fleeting memories of him, and my Ddad has been my lovely stepdad, my dad since I was 8. He’s an absolute legend, and if I could pick a dad, I’d pick him.Sending love and hugs (proper ones, not Mumsnet wanker ones) to all of you missing a lovely parent or loved one
And to those missing someone who didn’t quite live up to that title, that hurts just as much, if not more
My DDad was the best DDad (I know those of you equally lucky to have the best DDad will know). He died too soon, 7 years ago when DD was just 5. I was worried that DD might not remember him, but when we were in a garden centre today, she pointed at a jigsaw of the British isles and said she remembered doing it with grandad. Agh, he was the best and it randomly hurts, even 7 years on
You just know she’s bleeping seething that the bootcamps have merrily continued without her.
Those pesky dirty make up brushes again.Maybe she had a limb removed?
Yeah, I had a friend message me very worried one day saying "Have I upset you?" I'd replied to some of her messages in the car using voice typing and it had correctly punctuated them, which apparently made me sound like a seething mass of passive aggression
Seems there's a big difference in perception between
"no worries"
and
"No worries."

It means 'I'm just vegging out, everything's peachy', then everyone will know you're not being mean in your messages.
Now this confession may make me a MNer, but I can’t stand these year round wreaths people put on their doors these days!!
Christmas - of course!
Easter - hmm modern but okay
Anything else - autumn/spring/going NC with the MIL - no.
I don't care about people decorating for anything. However, despite having never personally known a postman in my life, I get annoyed on their behalf by those bows that go all over the door and cover the letterbox
Last year I complained so much about them to my husband that my suggested posts on Reddit were for a subreddit for royal mail workers all complaining about the bows
All these sound stunning, how on earth did that poster think people get over 100kg?! Its really not that difficult tbf I ended both pregnancies comfortably over that with little effort
I agree tbf our Xmas wreath on our old front door was right across the letterbox and our pass agg postman used to make a right song and dance about getting letters past it. And now we dont even have a letterbox as we're between new doors (didnt think this through whatsoever, maybe i should have done a MN post beforehand) so basically we are on every local postman's hitlist. They'd def start an AIBU about it.I don't care about people decorating for anything.

Wait, what! BIWI no longer does bootcamps?
When I was collecting my son at 1am the other day (we live drurally and there’s no transport or cabs) I said to him how much he was going to enjoy being round a mate’s until 5am when he goes to uni in a few weeks. He told me v earnestly that he thought he’d be studying too hard for that kind of thing. Luckily it was dark so he couldn’t see me smirking
I remember I used to go to my Thursday morning 9am lecture without going home from the night before. Great days.
I did the same on my grad scheme, with my fellow grads. We’d go to the casino after the clubs shut until it was time to go back to work!
She stopped running them after MN HQ did a tit job responding when the CSA images were posted.
Hey the Money 'Borrowed' thread is a faker right?
Oh you poor love, however do you cope? I'm sorry but if you can't make that work then it's a you problem. We're a Dsix figure household and I know how lucky we are. Also the UC mention wasn't needed at all, it sounds resentful. If they honestly believe someone on £25k plus UC top ups is taking home more than them then go and do that!! twit
No one on Mumsnet can understand what life is like for anyone slightly different from themselves. They're always baffled and perplexed over the smallest things. Like 'I don't understand why people enjoy sunbathing, it's very perplexing to me that anyone would enjoy that' (genuine thread on Mumsnet a week or so ago). I HATE sunbathing, absolutely hate it. I still understand why other people like it, I'm happy for people who love it and can do it, I don't ag it off to them or look down on them. I just don't do it myself and carry on with my life. I don't go around perplexed and creating Mumsnet thread where I end up calling people who sunbathe vain and stupid.
So true. I for example would rather be dead than go camping. One of my best friends would cheerfully live in her tent 24/7/365. Neither of us are wrong.
