Not a particularly good example of how Mumsnet is toxic. It so is, but there are many more examples to choose from.
I have never taken my children to McDonald's. They are 15 and 16. (Needless to say they take themselves there now

I knew someone who took heaps of advice from there and has tried to be 'a perfect parent'. Her kids never had chocolate for first few years, not even baby chocolate puddings! and they didn't go to mcdonalds until they were 3yrs old and that was for a Birthday treat. Drank only water etc etc.
Needless to say they are now spoilt brats who scream and cry every day when they don't get their own way, while she loses her shit screaming in to a towel
Whereas if you posted the same about Peter Andre or Boris Johnson they'd deem that perfectly acceptable. How is that helping society?Mumsnet gave me a ban at the start of September for saying that Katie Price has drug drink issues and wasn’t a great parent. They said I wasn’t kind and I couldn’t post like that any more, and I could come back if I was sorry and wouldn’t do it any more
I’m quite shocked tbh as you know the ones sharing images will be the braggiest ones too.There was the classic show us your bedroom thread where someone posted a photo of a Parisian hotel room and claimed it was their bedroom even when it was revealed where the photo actually came from.
I also read that people were taking photos from property sites and passing them off as their own too.
I've just had a look at that one... God they are awful! I've not seen one that I would want to have myself. The particularly bad ones always come with the comment "not to everyone's taste but we like it" as if they know it's shitI've been looking through the "To ask what your bedroom looks like" thread where they're posting photos of their bedrooms and I love these sort of threads because along with the "Show us your xmas tree" ones they just show how hilariously bad taste the majority of posters on Mumsnet have. Purple walls, yellow bed sheets, all Ikea. Totally the opposite of what you'd expect of a £100k earner who lives in a listed cottage very rurally would decorate their house with. I honestly think they all just spout bullshit
I need to do the same I think.I had to stop lurking too. It wasn't doing my MH any good. Ever since I blocked the website on my phone, I'm a lot more happier.
It’s like the style and beauty board; so many of them act like the next Anna Wintour. Then they have a “what are you wearing today?” thread and you see they are far less Vogue and much more Take a Break style.I've been looking through the "To ask what your bedroom looks like" thread where they're posting photos of their bedrooms and I love these sort of threads because along with the "Show us your xmas tree" ones they just show how hilariously bad taste the majority of posters on Mumsnet have.

I shouldn’t laugh, but that comment is spot on.It’s like the style and beauty board; so many of them act like the next Anna Wintour. Then they have a “what are you wearing today?” thread and you see they are far less Vogue and much more Take a Break style.
That was Crumbs. Resident MN fantasist/troll and she of the Nativity on the village green replete with cherub faced, rosy cheeked children and sheep in fairy lights. Seem to remember she doubled down on the hotel bedroom and the thread got deleted in the end.There was the classic show us your bedroom thread where someone posted a photo of a Parisian hotel room and claimed it was their bedroom even when it was revealed where the photo actually came from.

I remember her. Didn't she have 6 high achieving kids and a fantasy fairytale Christmas? I remember reading her Christmas gifts that she was sending, pure fantasy they were.That was Crumbs.

It’s a combination of really shit moderating and the ability to make unlimited name-changes. It allows trolls to run wild and keep coming back over & over again.MN does seem to get an inordinate amount of threads started by trolls. I know it’s a big site but still….
It still there:That was Crumbs. Resident MN fantasist/troll and she of the Nativity on the village green replete with cherub faced, rosy cheeked children and sheep in fairy lights. Seem to remember she doubled down on the hotel bedroom and the thread got deleted in the end.
She was around for a long time as Crumbs, but has had at least two name changes in recent times. She also reduced her 6 high-achieving children to 4.I like the sound of Crumbs. I have just been on the bedroom thread and someone mentioned fake photos of hotels and how they missed Crumbs! Sounds like she/he have been banned.
Haha, absolutely this. They're so judgemental and then you see them and they're head-to-toe dowdy Bon Marche meets Joe Brown's.It’s like the style and beauty board; so many of them act like the next Anna Wintour.
