so many times I’ve had to edit my posts here because I’ve put DH like some kind of stupid muscle memory!I posted on Mumsnet for a while but didn't last long. The final straw was when they ripped apart a poor poster who was upset about not being able to see her partner at Christmas due to Covid restrictions and being in a long distance relationship. They all piled on telling her if they had a long distance relationship it wasn't real, they couldn't possibly love each other if neither of them were prepared to uproot and move to be with the other, how very date she suggest she was being hard done to etc. I was in a similar situation and it stung me to the core that they were being so vile.
I couldn't be done with all the DD, DS, DH, DDog etc, name changing because the post was "outing", and generally being very vague about where they lived (a small Northern town, handy for 2 nearby cities). Vagueness in general really, instead of giving actual examples they'd say things like "we gave our DD a traditional name, think Victoria Georgina" or the inability to talk about their DH hobbies (we all knew it was either golf or cycling but they could never admit it).
There were a few good wind up threads but some posters for far too invested in them.
Its always an eye opener when you see how they respond to female abusers. Not long ago there was a woman who go so angry because he partner had spilled something that she screamed in his face, chucked things at him and slammed a door so hard that it broke the plaster on the wall. To be fair a few posters did call her out as abusive, but they were mostly drowned out by the mob who found every excuse in the book to justify this woman’s actions. Apparently she was obviously at the end of her tether because her partner was messy, she was tired, struggling with their young child (who’d witnessed it). One even said that female abuse against men isn’t as bad, because men are stronger that women!I wonder if there is any man in the world that mumsnet users wouldn’t label as ‘abusive’
every small thing gets labelled as abusive and one must LTB immedi, but if it was the other way around, the woman would be not labelled as such.
Law of averages say cheating is balanced.... unless you have one or two extremely busy cheaters knocking about!And the thing is, yes often men do behave badly. But so do women! In real life I know just as many women who’ve had affairs and cheated on their husbands and partners as I do men. In fact I’d say it’s pretty evenly balanced.
Oh don’t you know they all use Jo Malone darlingI couldn't get over a thread a couple of weeks ago when users branded Yankee candles as 'cheap'. I only use neom was one posters response. £40 a pop for a candle. You're literally burning money. What the fucking fuck? I can't even afford Yankee candles, I buy the Aldi dupes for 3.99 and it's a big treat.
I have but didn’t buy anything. It’s massively overpriced. The perfumes are ok. I don’t get the hype.Bet 98% of them haven’t even stepped into a jo Malone shop.
I bet they’re the same women who used to buy them on QVC years ago and thought they were the bees knees having an American imported candle, but now turn their noses up because production moved to the Czech Republic (last time I read) and you can buy them in AsdaI couldn't get over a thread a couple of weeks ago when users branded Yankee candles as 'cheap'.

snowglobes are things you buy few a few quid in a souvenir shop to put out at Xmastime... anybody spending a fortune on one deserves to be parted with their cashI hate when people buy expensive shit just to brag about it. My friend bought a £220 designer snow globewhat the actual fuck. Who cares
My friend, god bless him, is like this. Not in a bragging way, but will tell me that he bought something that cost X amount of money because of the brand name and thinks I’ll be impressed. I straight up tell him I think he’s a twat to part with that much when you can get the same product with a less known brand name for far less. He calls me a stingy cheapskate in retaliationI hate when people buy expensive shit just to brag about it. My friend bought a £220 designer snow globewhat the actual fuck. Who cares
I live in Scotland and where I am we call it dinner! If you said to me you were having your tea I would automatically assume you meant a cup of teaAnd they all refer to their evening meal as ‘dinner’. My evening meal is tea, I’ve never met anyone who calls it dinner. Ever.
