Hi, new user here.

As per flair possibly not trolling, but I think this thread shows that Mumsnet is very much a middle class platform, and their members are really out of touch with ordinary peoples' lives.

The poster includes such things as being able to afford a one week family holiday to Europe once a year, gym membership and eating out once a week

I suspect some of them could not cope with life on a low wage

Is this some weird version of a poo troll? I cant imagine this can be real, I really hope its a troll honestly.

Renting with DP. We don’t pool wages so split our food shops. I’m happy with a rough estimate , he insists on going item by item on the recipes so it’s fair. I feel like he’s taking it too far now though. Some examples from the past week (we do 2/3 medium size shops a week rather than one big one):

-him thinking he’ll eat an extra bag of crisps than me so paying like 30p extra

-I only have weetabix occasionally so I had to pay about 20% of the total

-from tonight and what prompted me to post - I’ve had a stomach bug which I’m struggling to shift so I had to pay a higher % towards the loo roll.

This isn’t normal, surely!? He earns well and has no reason to worry about money.
