Mumsnet #7 Tinkly little laugh

[Serene Serena]

I have finally made it in life.
I've never owned a tumble drier so I'm finally middle class

I didn’t realise a tumble drier signified class.
Does she think she’s posh and her colleagues aren’t or the other way round?
What a ridiculous thread

 

[hungrycaterpillar]

They like to believe they are but the reality is likely closer to Liz or Anne.

HAHAHAHA you're right!

 

[ChastityDingle]

Howling, crying with laughter, snorting coffee over the keyboard - they have very low standards when it comes to finding things funny.

I also think that Halloween thread is taking the piss out of people's beliefs. I'm an atheist but respect that not everyone thinks the same way as I do.

I haven't attempted to read it.
I glanced at what was trending on there this morning and couldn't be bothered opening even one of them.

I bet he doesn’t really, he’s probs on tiktok the moment the mum shuts the door

Oh for sure!

That thread is batshit. One posters son does 22 hours a week on top of school hours

As fucking if!

Hilton hotels are usually reasonably priced*. Middle of the road I’d say, rather than high end.

* pre-COVID - I imagine prices have gone silly now like everything else.

1. No they wouldn't.
2. Not all rescues are TROUBLED with behaviour issues.

I abhor Mumsnet but the above is incorrect and used by people trying to justify why they spent £xxxxxx on a designer dog with its own health issues, as a result of excessive breeding.

There are many many wonderful breeders who know and passionately love the breeds and who produce beautiful, carefully bred litters with no health issues. I hate the judgement about 'designer' breeds (hate that term too, though I have mixed feelings about some cross breeds). Without these people, so many ancient breeds would absolutely have died out by now (many actually have).

Already mentioned I know but I used to wonder why they were annoyed with their doctor (GP) for not wanting to mind their children.

You and me both!

DP always confuses me - is it parents or partner?

 

[BlairWaldorf86]

I name change every couple of weeks on there. There are some right stalkers on spin off sites.

What sites ?

 

[EmilyChambers]

I do 16/8 too, it is how I lost the 4 stone!

Is it you eat for 8 hours and not the other 16?

 

[Pebbleybeach]

Should I log it with 101 just in case?

You haven’t already done it?! Do it NOW!

 

[Sw4]

Has anyone read the 'Checkmate for DD' thread in AIBU? It started with OP sharing a mildly amusing anecdote, and now it's like fucking Lord of the Flies in there - I thought I was used to MNers being dicks to each other, but I'm reading that thread like 'what is HAPPENING?!'

It's absolutely insane isn't it!

 

[ChickenLicking]

There's quite a few guilt tripping trolls posting on the various 'should I let my aged parent move in with myself, DC and DH' threads.

 

[EasterEggs]

Did anyone see the hamster thread before it descended into chaos and got hidden?

 

[melonpane]

omg this witches hat!
screenshot now

 

[ChickenLicking]

Ahh Sparklingbrook one of the resident hierarchical arseholes.

Where's Babblingbrook when we need him/her/it?

 

[PrincessCharming]

Is the trampoline one gone now? I couldn’t find it. Pity, I could be done with a laugh.

 

[Serene Serena]

I dunno I quite like the idea of staying home and being cosy rather than working 13 hours on a stuffy ward with limited ventilation surrounded by flu, RSV and covid other winter viruses are also available!

What’s RSV?

 

[hungrycaterpillar]

They do medieval battle re-enactments. Or are still in the scouts.

No darling absolutely not!

 

[ChastityDingle]

Has anyone seen the AIBU post about the girl who was sent the wrong (more expensive) shoes? A legit question of what she should do because they’re lovely shoes.

So many responses saying she’s a thief

Haven't read the thread yet but that's a surefire way to get a good row going on MN.
I wonder is it someone looking for material for an article or something.

Many years ago, I had a ringside seat to a real live one of these.

Two academic types doing "onedownmanship" on each other about how they spent their holidays.

One claimed that they "never leave the country (Ireland) as they don't wish to contribute to causing environmental damge but go camping instead."The other countered that they never leave their own house and "we just built a yurt in the garden for the children to stay in."

I'd love to read that thread. If they were real (and I doubt it) I reckon I'd be able to figure out who they are pretty quickly. Sounds fictitious though - most of these types couldn't lie straight in a bed. The women I know (and avoid) who go on like this wouldn't be caught dead posting on mumsnet. Too West Brit.
