Hey! I posted on Mumsnet (under various usernames) for years and years (and years) . Until they got hacked, everyone had to log back in & I couldn’t remember my password or the original email address I’d set up with. So I just gave up 🤷‍♀️ And was in “forum wilderness” , where I’ve remained for about 3 years - lurking😳
I lurked on Reddit (didn’t get it) , I lurked on the other Mum sites (my kids are older now so I’m over the breastfeeding chat 😆)
Then THEN a miraculous thing happened... Brummy mummy off Insta sent me over, after her tearful Stories about mean cows on here slagging her. That’s the VERY PLACE for me I said to myself & and here I am , with a log in and everything 😄 So happy!
Any other ex-mumsnetters here? It all got a bit doom & gloom on there didn’t it 😲

There were no thread suggestions so used this quote by @Pebbleybeach which accurately describes MN users.
Oh my god, I can’t believe you’ve STOLEN a quote from a post I wrote. I’m logging it NOW! And asking everyone here for a handhold. I’m literally shaking and sobbing, I haven’t been as traumatised as this since my DMIL said hello to me on Christmas Day.

I met a Mumsnetter in the wild last night! Sister wife dress, mill girl boots and glass of tap water in hand. I had a pint and she decided to tell me how many calories there were in one solitary pint of beer. I responded by asking her if she’d made her dress herself. I’m looking for the thread ‘rude alcoholic at theatre’ this morning.

My MIL wants to gaze through the window at DS even though I only gave birth 113 months ago. Even worse she has asked if she can do it on a Saturday morning. Surely weekends are time for our little family? DH works in a niche field earning a six figure salary so this is our only time together :(

Not to derail the thread or start any arguments but its not hating on trans for wishing women’s spaces and rights to be protected and for people to be called ‘hateful’ for having such wishes is the problem

What's with the use of the word "think" rather than just saying something that is already identifiable anyway.

"I am in my 40s, think 43"
"I work in a competitive profession, think law"
"I have eyes, think two"

There’s one on there from some poor cow who had a traumatic birth six months ago with a 3 to 4 degree tear. She’s still very sore so her caring sharing husband has suggested anal sex instead! The general consensus is to tell him to fuck off. One poster however says that her and DH do it every couple of months as ’a treat’. A treat???!!! I obviously lead a very dull life as my idea of a treat is an M&S fresh cream eclair.

Also OT, but Psycho Sootie (my profile pic) was pts today. He'd had a terminal diagnosis but did brilliantly for the last 4 months - slightest signs of distress last night, so we did the deed. Much missed, we are discussing whether he will be in feline heaven or hell... He was 14 and a half, and had a bloody lovely life very well lived.

Can you imagine living these people?

’Two bread based meals in one day?! But I suppose we are on holiday, after all. Let’s push the boat out and split a slice of Hovis twixt breakfast and lunch’

‘But Mary! Nothing compares to the yeasty treats you bake with your own fair hand!’
