Mumsnet #31 How on Earth do these people manage to exist on a day to day basis?

There's a great names thread. They want to call the baby Cuddy as a shortening but they don't know what for. It's a terrible name IMO.

My mind went straight to Cudworth. A village in South Yorkshire, equidistant to (from?) Barnsley, Grimethorpe and Royston. Possibly not the vibe a MNer would be aspiring to for their PFB.

Miserable fuckers.

One day, they, too, will be mother-in-laws.

It’s ok, the tall, clever sporty kids they have will attract a girl/boyfriend but when they go round their house and have to do a special knock to make sure someone opens the door, get fed a spoonful of lettuce soup and get asked if they meant to be so rude when they say that no their 45 year old mum doesn’t have dementia, they’ll run for the hills. No one will get far enough along the relationship to actually get married.

I have only projectile vomited once, post birth. I took out OH and about 3 midwives. It was quite impressive

@CrimsonCountess We did have a thread title suggestion. Now @nobotoxta is probably the one shaking and crying. Are you usually this forgetful? It could be the sign of a traumatic head injury. 999. NOW.

@CrimsonCountess Are you on gluuuuue? We did have a thread title suggestion.

She should go NC

Oops, didn’t see that one. Just sorted by most liked as usual and @YR80 was up the top

Kindly, @CrimsonCountess, you need to eat less and move more, buy your clothes from Wolf and Badger and educate your children privately. I'm concerned you may have early onset dementia or diabetes, maybe even an underactive thyroid and ADHD.

I enjoyed this reply on page one of the ‘long name for cuddy’ thread

You missed out the latest must have....Neuro diverse.

I'm hiding in my room with a lettuce leaf. I just assumed that you'd all found out I was a huge size 8 with a husband I like. Someone knocked on the door earlier and I answered it. I'M SO SORRY

My friends dog choked on a tissue she found on the street. Friend stuck her fingers down the dog’s throat to retrieve it. Dog projectile vomited and diarrhoea’d at the same time.

I thought I’d die laughing.

 

[Cinnabun]

There is a thread in Chat called 'What stupid thing have you done today?" which is pretty funny. Makes a nice change.

Oh, and as a genuine emerophobe who has mini panic attacks when vomiting, those witches have nothing on me

 

[sistersofpercy]

Cuddy. Short for curmudgeonly surely. A most underused word and an excellent name for a child.

Do you know what E.T is short for? Because he’s only got little legs,,

I shall go to bed now

 

[Wackie Jeaver]

My oldest could projectile vomit from the age of about 4 weeks. She was terribly advanced for her age

 

[HelenDamnation]

Not emetophobic (is that right?) but I do that stupid thing of feeling horrible and nauseated and knowing it's on the way, then put off being sick for as long as I can.
Why do I spend hours feeling dreadful, instead of just getting it over and done?

How do you control it?

I have that but I can only be sick when my body is ready. I can’t will it.

 

[Serene Serena]

Can we stop talking about vomit now? I’m meeting some friends for brunch (how very middle class) and I’m losing my appetite When I say brunch, I don’t mean avocado on sourdough bread and eggs Benedict btw. We’re going to the local greasy spoon café for an all day full Welsh breakfast coupled with mugs of builders tea and a catch up on local gossip

Haha, my daughter when about 10 had a D&V bug and text me in the middle of the night to say she was firing out of both ends. I think the dog is her spirit animal.

Hello ladies, I'm definitely not a man wanting to talk about womens underwear
