Mumsnet are very strange when it comes to deleting threads - they’re quick to delete ones about influencers/Instagrammers and yet keep others running.

And I agree that the teacher needs to be sacked for kicking that poor horse. 😡.

There’s a thread on there atm about a kid who’s bitten another kid at nursery, and posters are recommending solicitors and suing the nursery, the old ‘strongly worded letter’, child trauma psychologists and exclusion for the ‘assault’.

The children in question are 2 years old.
My 👶🏼 has very recently been a victim of a nursery biting, it’s entirely her fault she loves “feeding” her peers and one of them didn’t take too kindly to it and bit, drawing blood.

It was honestly the most dramatised thing by the nursery I was doing an uncomfortable laugh cos it was like satire - they assured me they’d done an extensive review of CCTV footage and seen “the incident” from multiple angles and could confirm it was [redacted] and his one sharp tooth. She’s been sterilised and bandaged and is making a full recovery sat on [redacted]’s lap having some cuddles. Now please sign the accident form and take a copy for your records, I was actually speechless by the whole thing and thought am I bad mum for not really caring she’s been bitten by another child?! Maybe I’m a mug who’s missed my chance to make the Times rich list 2021? I’ll be giving Mark Lewis a call now 😂

On one thread people were saying how misogynistic tattle was, a hotbed full of it allegedly. Their evidence? Posters saying that Stacy Soloman plays a ditzy character and is smarter than she lets on. Eh?

The money posts are ridiculous, people are quick to call a man financially abusive but if the situation is reversed they egg them on to do exactly the same thing they said was abusive with "all money is family money." I do hope no one actually takes these loons advice seriously.

There's a thread in active called "Argument at Christmas meal" where the OP's Dad got absolutely blinding drunk and went off on one about something. There are nearly half a dozen posts on the first page alone stating he probably has dementia :rolleyes:
Other either early onset dementia, undiagnosed autism or he's a narc. No other options are available. Everyone who is even mildly rude fits into these three categories.

I've actually seen people saying you shouldn't spend lots on your kids because it's upsetting to kids with less.

It's so stupid and clearly coming from middle class parents that have no idea what it's like to be poor. Do they think poor kids don't know they're poor. They know and you not buying your kids what they want for Xmas is not gonna make them feel any better about it.

This modern attitude that everybody needs to change their behaviour so not to upset anyone is getting out of hand. I think it's partly the white middle class being offended on people's behalf and partly people being given too much of a voice on social media.

Next we won't be able to put reindeer outfits on kids because Sandra on MN said it's offensive to Inuits.
I think the quicker your kid learns there's always someone out there who has more than you and to appreciate what they do have because there's always someone out there with less than you, the better!

I’ve noticed a lot of eco posts on there recently - landfill and tat seem to be buzz words but they mainly use the environment to take swipes at other people’s lifestyles.

Mumsnetters are some of the most bitter, miserable and meanest people around.

I think they’ve got a step parenting forum that I ended up down through a AIBU? Where conveniently every resident mum is labelled as a retroactive gold digger, clearly out for the 15% that equates to a couple of hundred quid a month from these perfectly average men these new partners seem to think are HNWIs? And the critiques of how resident mum spends her money as if she’s gonna have anything left out of it after covering a growing child’s food and clothing and wrap around care 😂 It’s wild, this has made me miss them actually I’m gonna go take a look and see what some poor 24/7 resident mum dared buy this month. New SHOES??? For WINTER???
It works the other way round as well. Step mums are the literal devil. If you love the kids like they’re yours, you’re overstepping the mark and if you’re nice to them but keep your distance, you’re not doing enough and should love them like they’re yours 🤪 Again, it’s one extreme to the other 😆

I imagine them all to be like Emma Thompson’s character in Love Actually. Middle aged women (no shade there, as I’m one myself) who have a very privileged lifestyle and say they vote Labour but are secret Tories. They have farty arse part time jobs like knitting consultant, while their husbands work in the city and earn ‘six figures’ and they say they have a very happy marriage but the ‘DH’ is shagging his PA. Subconsciously they know this, but on the ‘He’s Cheated!’ threads, they’ll come on and give it Billy Big Bollocks about if their partner ever did that, they’d string him up by his arse cheeks and use his testicles for earrings. They wouldn’t.

Weird how you can get all that from a necklace 🤣
They also tell people to Get Rid of a cheating spouse, and don’t worry about money and how you will manage, you can always take in ironing

Yes!! Was so gobsmacked by so called promiscuous neighbour wanting to ride share to football to get her claws into OP’s husband! Just wtf 😆 trust issues galore
You know her husband is probably so dull and unattractive you wouldn't touch him with someone else's 😂

The thing about mumsnet for me is that 95% of the posts could be written by the same poster. They are all similar in style and tone and condescendingness🤣 there'll be a handful of posters that stand out in a thread for having a different opinion or a distinctively different posting style, but otherwise they're one and the same. Also a thread could run on for 30 pages and the last posts are still echoing the first. It's like people read the OP, immediately add their opinion without bothering to read the whole thread or at least a few pages. Quite often the issue is resolved and people are still offering pearls of wisdom! Unless somethings kicking off, then they never seem to move the discussion forward.

There was thread the other day about someone who’d employed a plumber and he texted and asked her out. Got loads of replies saying it was unprofessional, creepy, misogynistic, report him! etc. (I was on the fence a bit, tbh, because I do think it’s a bit unprofessional).

However. Not so long ago, there was thread where a woman was asking if it was ok to ask out the guy who’d been and fitted her boiler and there were literally pages and pages of replies egging her on and telling her to go for it, this is the 21st Century!, please update OP!

In the end, he ignored her message 🤣 but somehow it’s ok for women to do that but not men.

I don’t know if it’s down to misandry or their absolute loathing of ‘tradesmen’. I bet if their divorce solicitor was asking them on a date after an appointment, that would be perfectly ok.

Absolute madness that thread. And they have the cheeky to pull Tattle into it? Glass houses and all that.
On another note I think it’s odd to buy cleaning products as an Xmas present? The OP mentions getting ordinary cleaning products from Tescos and cloths to add to the present. I mean…. !!
If someone bought me cleaning products for Christmas I would disown them.. it’s depressing as shit. The 1950’s called..

I posted an AIBU thread about awful service in a high end store. When they discovered I was 'only' spending £120 omg the shaaaaame! "Why would they bother about you, you're obviously a cheap skate, who only spends £120 on a 21st birthday present" etc etc etc. Fuckwits.

Was reading a old thread where one had posted if anyone could offer suggestions for ‘insert illness’
A few replies then the OP posted back saying ‘I just knew I’d get replies AFTER I’d been the pharmacy!!’

so passive aggressive! 🤣
Haha she honestly expected to be inundated with replies while she was standing in the pharmacy? Why the hell not just ask the pharmacist who is highly trained and knowledgeable on such things instead of randoms on Mumsnet. And then getting arsey afterwards 🤣

She sold her lightbulbs so she didn't accidentally turn them on :LOL: . Sold her sons shoes also and lived two winters without being able to put her heating on. Meanwhile maintained a good relationship with the father of her child and her well off landlord parents who lived nearby and presumably did nothing :rolleyes:

But the last thing she sold was her professional photography equipment (because that's more important than heating or light), and she chose to sell it for 10% of what it was worth after holding on for it for so long. But a few years later when she was selling her own prints for £18 she was able to heal the hole in her heart from selling the photography stuff.

I could go on and on about jack o_O
we do hence 212 threads since 2020
