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

There was a thread earlier where the Op’s daughter does dancing and was told off by her friend for dancing instead of walking normally. She deliberately goaded her pal and ended up on the ground with a hurt arm. The OP is more bothered that her mum friend bitched about her daughter than the fact that her daughter was rude to her friend.

Is this the daughter's friend or the adult OP's friend who told her off - and that is the same 'pal' who was goaded? And when you say 'ended up on the ground with a hurt arm,' this was due to violence from this friend?

I wish more parents were like you... Its never nice having to tell someone their child had been bitten (or is a biter!) but it's a perfectly normal stage of development, and is usually done out of frustration at being unable to communicate what they want. Some parents seem to think that the biter has targeted their child on purpose out of nastiness which is rarely the case.

Two adult women and their respective 9 yr old daughters. One daughter likes to dance everywhere - street, bedroom, pavement, school as she ‘loves it’. She twirls in front of the other girl who tells her to stop as it’s annoying. Dancing girl says no, and continues to prance about. Other girl apparently pushes dancing girl to the floor and says her mother also thinks it’s annoying and so do school teachers. Dancing girl says second girl couldn’t be a dancer because she’s too ugly. Both girls get a telling off but story is told from perspective of dancing girls mother, who seems to think it’s ok to dance everywhere as she’s practicing for a Christmas play.

Everyone was in the wrong, but I would find dancing girl intensely annoying (in fact I actually knew a girl and her pushy mother just like them).

I do feel sorry for nursery staff cos they seem half terrified of you as a parent and you can see visible relief when you’re not mad that you’ve got to take your kid home cos they’ve been sick or have suspected chicken pox?! There’s been quite a few influencers bitching about nursery staff which blows my mind - my daughter LOVES her nursery “friends” and they go above and beyond for their kids, how could you be so muggy to them?

And on 101/childhood ASBO - today they’re the bitten, tomorrow they’ll be the biter there is no way for me to control her behaviour at this age, so by the grace of god go I/we that she doesn’t go off the rails and bite every chubby finger in her room

Bluntness called someone a cunt for saying "I'll drop it off midmorning". Imagine if anyone else had done that.

Thats ironic given that Bluntess actually is a cunt!

The daughters friend told her off and the daughter responded by saying “you are too ugly to dance” then she was taken down by the friend. Friend’s mum apparently said “why can’t so and so just walk normally rather than dancing in front of people!

Mum of dancing girl wants to send a text to tell her friend off for bitching about her daughter cos she’s practicing for a Christmas show.

I had a few run-ins with the aptly named Bluntness. Cunt doesn't even begin to describe her.

Bluntness, pops up in nearly every.single.thread making out she's an expert in every topic imaginable. Can't stand the cow.

Also, mumsnetters love to moan about xmas gifts they've been given, but I've noticed the last couple of years the go to gift for their DH's has been an Ooni Pizza oven. I can't imagine their lovely DH's experience a rush of excitement unwrapping that! Especially as it probably can't even be used until about 4 months after xmas

’Cuntness’ would be a better name for her.

There also used to be a poster called ‘expatinscotland’ who used the fact that she was a bereaved parent as an excuse to be astonishingly rude to other posters and if anyone dared challenge her you’d be victim of a pile on because ‘don’t you know her child died’. Well yes actually and that’s awful, but it doesn’t give her a right to be so fucking nasty to other people which I saw her do on many occasions.

I have noticed that the serial fantasist LeQueen is back on doing her interminably boring show off stories. I know she was banned but she must have grovelled to be allowed back. She lives in a dream world.

Is she under the same username? When I was new to MN, I think I might have had an argument with her about school nativities/performances. I thought all the kids should get a go, but she said it was right that only the most talented should get to perform (like her daughter, who had a natural stage presence, apparently). We were talking about infants/nursery.

No, look on any thread about money, range rovers, tummy tucks or grammar schools. Peaceandlove

There was a similar poster who’s name escapes me, whose kids had SEN and she was the same. She was really fucking rude to other posters and everyone always excused it because of her background and said she had a point whether she did or not.

ETA. She was called BishopBrennansArse (I remembered it)

A lot of them were FB friends, when the claxon went off, you had no chance.

Yeah and a lot of them reappear when they’re mentioned on the ‘which posters do you miss?’ licky arse threads. HullyGully was another MN Royalty bitch who regularly pops up on those threads, which makes me wonder if they just hang about waiting to be name checked.

I despised her. How tragic to live your life through mumsnet popularity. <waves to Franny>
