I don't post on mumsnet any more but I do read it for entertainment purposes. When I did post I found that I ended up moderating my posts to be the most bland, inoffensive ever because they would literally jump on every little thing that you said.

It’s my last go to on the internet now when I am so bored that I would read the back of a toothpaste packet to pass the time. Way below tattle, the sidebar of shame etc. It’s so boring
All of it, the trolls, troll hunters, virtue signallers, show offs. Nothing changes.
Haha that’s true, the site is a full house of waving red flags. I think they must be so unhappy in real life that they pour over other peoples relationships and obsess over break ups.
Mumsnet poster: I love my husband and we have a great relationship. Things are great otherwise but it does annoy me that he doesn't pull his weight around the house. He leaves his wet towels on the bed and socks on the floor. AIBU to be annoyed? Again, I love him and our relationship is otherwise great
All Mumsnet posters: no you are not being unreasonable. Get out now while you can. It starts with socks on the floor and it'll end up with him cheating on you and leaving you for his secretary. He'll leave you penniless. Heed our warnings and turf him & his wet towels out this very second. Don't put up with this complete lack of respect for a second longer!
The above is parody of course but IMO it's a pretty accurate representation of Mumsnet posters

sorry op but you are doing the ‘pick me dance’ and this won’t end well. Do you have ANY self esteem.
Look out for love bombing too and signs of secret McDonald’s.
Yeah OP, my husband earns £500k plus bonuses a year and still finds the time to pick up his socks, cook dinner, do the dishes, sort out the laundry, mow the lawn, sort out the weeds in the garden and run me a bath. Every night. Don't settle for less
My favourite recurring theme is where a mother of a young child posts about a dilemma she’s having, and someone always responds, “You need to go back to work”. Doesn’t matter what the problem is, it could be something really minor, the solution is “go back to work”. Even women who post about struggling with needy, whingey babies get told to go back to work to get away from them.
Some people have huge axes to grind about the very concept of SAHMs. God forbid if anyone posts about being one, they’re besieged with replies telling them they’re setting a bad example to their daughters, their husband resents them and will soon have an affair with a colleague etc etc.
I read one thread last week and the poster didn’t say anything about being a SAHM, the 3rd or 4th reply was telling her to go back to work

They're so predictable. Makes you wonder why anyone would seek advice when it's the same nonsense over and over
The best ‘anti-SAHM’ thread in there just now is the one about the rich SAHMs who snap up all the freebies from the online baby groups because they don’t work so they can get in there first, thus depriving all the non-rich working kind of the things they need (and the rich SAHMs are extra evil because they already have playrooms STUFFED full of goodies for their precious kids, so it’s definitely done out of greed and spite and a pretence of being environmentally right-on ).
It’s the bitterest, whiniest thing I’ve read in a long while!

There’s an thread about poppies and schools not educating children properly on them.
But is £500k plus enough to live on each week? Curious to see how others manage it? Will DH be able to continue his EXPENSIVE HOBBY?
an expensive hobby!? That’s a major red flag OP. LTB
Omg now there’s a thread about how to wash the dishes… the OP is horrified her partner puts the soap on the dishes then rinses under the water. Apparently squirting liquid into a basin and washing the dishes in there is vulgar.
Such martyrs. They witch and moan about their husbands technique and then just decide to do it themselves. And then complain that they're the only one that does anything. Also, are they really standing over him supervising?!
Literally couldn't care less what method my husband uses to wash the dishes as long as I don't have to do it and I've got Clean plates! I didn't know anyone did it differently to washing up liquid adverts though
There‘s a thread now moaning about how her gym class didn’t observe the 2 minutes silence today. I mean if you really wanted to observe it you’d go to the gym before or after wouldn’t you?
"Expensive hobby that I won't name as it could be outing."
Sandra, nobody gives a duck your husband rides a five grand carbon fibre road bike like a slimy lycra hole.
Mumsnet would make a fantastic drinking game. You can have a shot each time you see a comment containing one of the of the following comments or statements:
POAS
Vulva
Mooncup
Naice
Wendied
Mint Velvet
Keep us a float
Keep our heads above water
Go NC
If you see ‘Call Women’s Aid’ or ‘LTB’ that’s a double shot.
We’d all be pissed within minutes!
