This is a thread to talk about mumsnet and it's operations in general. Not a thread to link to suspect threads and give the obvious trolls the attention they want
I don’t know what I find most amusing, the pure venom from the posters on that board or The posters who don’t like being told they are being unreasonable.to be fair the AIBU board is hilarious most of the time, just not in the way they think it is
They don’t have to LTB, they could book a spa date and dump the kids with him to get back at him!It's one of my guilty pleasures @Pinkii - I love reading the post and then taking bets (umm, with myself) on the first few responses / how long until someone says LTB / how long until misogyny comes into it and how soon before the OP gets the hump
What's that? Why yes, yes I do have a sad life...
How they post and ask “aibu?”, and then spend the next few pages arguing with everyone who says yes! Don’t bloody ask then!I don’t know what I find most amusing, the pure venom from the posters on that board or The posters who don’t like being told they are being unreasonable.
A lot of unhinged people post in that section
Ah, the MN food threads. Has anyone mentioned the MN chicken on it? They allow two slivers of chickens with a roast dinner that’s so thin you can see through them so they can eke it out over 3 years in curries and sandwiches and stock. When questioned, they’ll say that they also have 7 sorts of potatoes with it and a greengrocers worth of veg. And I just think, sure you do. If you’re that stingy with the meat, it’s more likely that it’s one roast potato between 4 people and a pea each.I’m laughing at the one asking about Christmas dinner and evening buffets, and the amount of posters claiming they could NEVER manage to eat a buffet on Christmas Day night, but then go on to list the leftovers/sandwiches/snacks/cheese boards they have at night.. that’s a buffet, no?

Yeah I have noticed regarding the chicken. They can make several meals out a chicken. A roast dinner, sandwiches for lunch, a curry out of it and then a soup from the carcass.Ah, the MN food threads.

Food threads are always divided between the competitive under eaters who are aghast that anyone can eat more than two crisps a month and the ones who can trough an entire pig for breakfast (I’m with the latter).
Nice to see we’re onto Christmas dinners though and we’ve moved on from ‘massive salad’ summer.
My nephew isn't quite that bad, but he's 3 and then he went to the cinema for the first time, my sister took him some cut up grapes and a bag of PomBears because she didn't want him eating sweets (they send him hyper). He finished the grapes and announced to the whole cinema "mummy, I want some cheese now!"And of course their children don't like takeaways or McDonald's and prefer Mummy's picnics over it. In RL, I'm yet to meet a child who doesn't like McDonald's.
