I was banned for ages but infiltrated back in yesterday as I happened to have a new email address 😆 so bleeping boring. The only thread I’ve seen that’s remotely interesting was one about bread, and that’s dead because obviously Mumsnetters don’t eat bread. Weirdly though in the pandemic they were all going insane for breadmakers and boasting about their newborn baby sourdough starters resting in airing cupboards.

Taboo and Mirage or scrumpy. Even the thought makes me want to hurl. Yuk. Never ever again

I know it's 08:30* but I could really fancy a Taboo and lemonade right now after you mentioning it.





*Puts on insta wanker voice* "I'm a boy Mom, of course I've been up for hours on a Saturday morning shouting at him to get 'your effing kit on ffs' so have earned a bleeping pint of Taboo to keep me company on the muddy football pitch"
 
Aftershock: red one 🤮 me and a friend in our late teens had a bottle in the house we shared. Drank 3/4 of it maybe and were both puking in the same toilet at the same time a few hours later. I never got vomiting hangovers back then. Just not much sleep and food cravings

My body really hates alcohol these days which is a shame as I love a glass of wine in a pub/beer garden

Which is weird because she’s slim, rich and clearly does a lot of laundry (or has a lot of laundry don’t for her actually which they’d like even more) and they say that’s what they all are as well 🤔 😂

I think her husband actually does earn six figures or more, though...

The one asking if she should take away an activity that helps their child’s pain because school have told her to punish her for three detentions is crazy. It’s like the royal family ones why do they bow down to people in supposed power and never question anything???

I don't believe that one is real. I've never, ever heard of a school telling parents to stop an extracurricular activity as a punishment. And OP saying this one isn't even for fun, but health reasons? Nah.

I would usually but there’s been a big call out of schools like this recently and they are growing in number so I can totally believe it
 
I was just having an idle browse - have you seen the one about FH and the wedding centre pieces?

It's just a horrible pile on slating the bride's budget choice and more people being unpleasant the longer the thread goes on.

All of them recommending 'something simple' or saying not to bother as no-one remembers them anyway. Just really pissing on the OPs chips!

Who made mumsnet the arbiters of good taste anyway?!

Realised this has irrationally annoyed me 🤣

They really piss me off - unless it's dowdy or frumpy they call everything outdated or not worth the bother!

What's annoying there is despite a poster pointing out how illegal that is to target a punishment at the kid's disability, they don't give a tit about that, it's all about how the rules are stupid. They probably are, but even if the kid had gone into school wearing a Hitler t-shirt and riding a rabid direwolf whilst shouting 'The Head is a bleep', the therapy being removed as punishment is the bit that's illegal.

They are absolutely giving hell to a mum who’s struggling to potty train - I remember why I felt so tit reading it when my kids were little

The majority of Mumsnetters give ‘advice’ as if an idiotic woman was dating an absolute deadbeat monster, drank too much, got pregnant, drank, smoke and ate McDonald’s throughout pregnancy, took cocaine to numb the pain of childbirth and then just makes any old decision for her child during the ad breaks on soaps. So the ‘advice’ is just berating and sneering and preachy.
 
When I was 14 my parents allowed 2 male friends of mine to camp in the garden after a party. One got absolutely ratted on Peach Scnapps and vomited in the tent. I haven't been able to be in the same postcode as the stuff since. The boys also had to come and sleep in the house much to my parents irritation and putting the tent down the next day in the blazing heat of summer was grim 😆🤢.

Archers is mine too. Drank a whole bottle of Asda's own version on my last day of year 11 and woke up in a friends shed 😬😬
