It got a reputation pretty quickly as being a “nest of vipers” and only a thicko would have such lowly aspirations.
So that’s who it attracts nowadays - nasty thickos.
Mumsnet really scares me. I lurk now and again but won't even register, there is no point at all when I've found Tattle, which I am really liking so far because having different opinions is actually welcome and encouraged here.
I wonder why Mumsnet is as vicious as it is? The only place I can think of that is as bad/worse is Twitter.
I know, total and utter greed. Especially when it seems they have a bog basic forum and have invested hardly anything. I've never used Digital Spy but Tattle is unlike any other forum I've ever used. Light years ahead of shamsnetI’ve been using Digital Spy for the last sixteen years or so and they’ve allowed you to edit posts for at least ten of those, completely free of charge I might add. Its laughable that Mumsnet has only just introduced it and expects you to pay for the privileg.
When I worked at a big ad agency we were scraping mumsnet (amongst other sources) for research purposes and selling it to brands lol.It's also a massive date harvesting site - to turn off all the tracking takes in the region of 85 separate swipes and clicks, as they've deliberately used one that defaults to allowed AND refuse to have a Object/Reject All button. Plus if you do go through those 85 swipes/scrolls and clicks, but check back on the Vendors page before saving, every single one of them resets to Allow.
People who have pointed that out, along with the actual laws are told that IT say it's not possible to do and are then swiftly permabanned.
Fruit sugars can be as damaging as sweet sugars on the teeth, our dentist has always discouraged eating fruit alone.There’s a thread on there atm about someone who doesn’t want the childminder to give her 14 month old any sugary treats. Which is fine. But then goes onto say her kid was happy eating raspberries while all the adults stood around eating the kids birthday cake. Poor little bugger didn’t even get any of her own cake! Why buy one in the first place?! Obviously everyone’s rushing on to outdo the OP with tales of how their kid has never touched sugar in any form and now only eats raw horse meat and grass as a teenager out of choice.
When I used to do kids parties for my teenagers, I'd buy vegan/gluten/everything free versions as well as a generic cake because it would crush me having a kid left out due to dietary. The idea of leaving the actual child out is evil and knocks my stomach sick, no need.The other thing that occured to me is how cruel some kids can be (unknowingly). Who wants to be the kid that other kids talk about "we got cake at Annie's party and she wasn't allowed to eat any and was sat there eating raspberries"
I accidentally hit the laugh reaction on your post, quickly changed it though. Yes it really is awful to other them. And to what end?There is no sense of community there, its too serious for me.
It doesn't do much for women really.
It saddens me in some respects because the posts I've seen sound like there are kiddos who desperately need a mum who'll just give them cuddles and time and carbs

I once laugh reacted accidentally on fb trying to heart it, to a friend telling the world she had body dysmorphia. She never accepted it was an accident.I accidentally hit the laugh reaction on your post, quickly changed it though. Yes it really is awful to other them. And to what end?
When I worked in a day centre with LD adults, there was one who couldn’t have gluten/dairy and he nearly always had to miss out on others’ birthdays because hardly anyone could remember or be bothered to bring something he could eat. I used to always look for something for him (usually something in the free from aisle at Tesco) and he was so grateful. I think I became his favourite staff member after that.There is no sense of community there, its too serious for me.

I saw that thread, tbh I have a bit of a crush on my postman and if he rang the doorbell at 7am getting me out of bed, I would go down as scantily clad as I could get away withThe postman ringing the doorbell at 7am thread made me laugh. I KNEW it would blow up immediately with them all flexing about how early they get up and how everyone should be up by 3am in order to be a valued member of society. But then whenever someone posts a AIBU to have a lazy duvet day with snacks and movies, they always fall over themselves to say oh yes you MUST. You deserve it, make sure you stay in bed all day!
Same, I actually give him a Christmas tip too. Because I appreciate him.My postman also rings the doorbell between 7 and 7:30, and I’m so happy with that. That means that I have my package before i go to my work
