I can’t be arsed go google or read what an orchid child is but it’s reminded me of the spate of indigo children some time back on mn. We don’t hear about those ones anymore. Like limerance. That outbreak seems to have subsided too.

my husband (not gay but welcome to become so) was listening to one of his outing podcasts and the guy was saying he was born in his sack and in the olden days kids born en caul would be handed over to shaman. My daughter was born in her sac, and tbh would be better suited for life with the shaman. She’s a bit indigo (or autistic as we call it now) Can anyone point me in the right direction pls?

It’s quite refreshing to read other posters who are bigger than a size 6 stating their difficulties in buying clothes on the high street. Makes a change from the teeny tinies talking about how a size 8 swamps their petite frame 🙄
Sorry to bust the bubble.

Along with the teeny tinies getting teenier and tinier, as the husbands have gone from 6'2" to 6'4" to 6'5", the daughters are going in the opposite direction now any old woman can be a size 6-8.

Where ARE all these minuscule people? The only truly teeny tiny people I’ve met are Vietnamese. One of my friends lives out there and is married to a Vietnamese woman. Their two children are, indeed, teeny tiny, but not outstandingly so.
I’m pretty sure the mumsnet teeny tiny squad are perfectly normal 12/14 sizes. No teeny tiny has posted a photo as proof, same with the devastatingly beautiful ones and the 65yo mistaken for a teenager ones. 🙄

Honestly I think that for the majority, if they’re a UK size 0-2 then they’re massively underweight and causes for that need to be investigated.

Has anyone seen the average amount of clothing thread in AIBU?

It's full of the usual MN madness ranging from I only have two sets of clothes and wear bin bags on my feet to do you have a spending addiction, you're the reason the planet is in a mess.

And me - Bob was born en caul, first baby I've ever seen that was. MrBasket looked like he was going to puke at first. He thought I'd given birth to some sort of freak alien baby!

One woman posted her capsule wardrobe and it was basically joggers and T-shirts (albeit designer ones) all in beige, black and navy. How bleeping dull.
Probably the sign of being large and poor to want to wear colourful clothing.

As long as you haven’t killed somebody, stop beating yourself up about it 💕
do you mean like intentionally murdered, or does that include anyone in a health profession?

Are we including animals? Cos vets/exterminators will be on thread 127…. Hell I felt bad when we had a major ant problem and I had to resort to ant traps. Genocidal, me.

When we were on holiday (Tui all inclusive obviously) this man asked if the kids would be disturbed by his tattoos if he took his T-shirt off. He was covered in very intricate designs, some of which were screaming faces and the like. Also dragons and lions - every inch of his back was artwork. My little boy was fascinated and Betsi wasn’t interested. He said sometimes he was asked to cover up so as not to frighten the children. I bet those kids were the offspring of mumsnetters.

Alpha mum kind looks like the pta type shortest dress I've ever seen and high heels we were at a garden party for our kids class. Talked to everyone but I don't think. I was good enough to talk to her so she completely ignored me the whole time spent a lot of time around the dad's

Oh and constantly saying thing like be careful darling
No no don't put your mouth around that (toy trumpet and all the kids had been blowing it)
