It’s under the holidays topic and B&b want me to pay a fine.
It’s not really about tucking in a shirt, though: it’s about letting everyone know that she’s such a teeny, slender size 8 ‘hourglass’ that normal clothes designed for us lardy types literally swamp her delicate, 18” waist. Hence the photos to demonstrate that her waist is the size of the average person’s wrist.
I can’t find the B&B one. I can never really understand why some people go on the internet and tell such a specific story- the daily Mail love mumsnet for story pinching.
I do find there’s a lot of drinking one-up manship on MN. It’s either a bottle a night or I only drink a thimble of wine on my birthday and at Christmas. Anywhere in the middle and you’ll be told you’re drinking too much. (100% respect to the teetotallers whatever their reason).
That was my thread!Yet another load of judgement. How dare you lock your front door - from the people who won't answer their door unless you've given notice of your intention to visit a month in advance.

How dare she keep a man and his child waiting because he wasn't adult enough to take his keys and she was confined to bed and the loo?
My theory is that Bluntness and possibly some of the other well known posters who get away with murder, work for MN / are mods on another account.Bluntness’s online persona is cringey, they’re wilfully obtuse and outright rude. The type that probably wouldn’t say boo to a goose in real life though! Although the fact they’re on almost every thread spouting crap means they’re probably a troll living in their mums dank basement, that MN are overlooking because the ensuing arguments after they post drive their website hits or something
You're not allowed to visit their new babies but they complain and 'go nc' if you don'tPeople on MN never answer their door! You aren’t allowed to visit their new babies, regardless of your relationship to the family, you’ve to wait til the kids about 6 before you can see them, all gifts are tat, everyone is a ‘narc’ and they all suffer from MH issues, mostly anxiety…that just about covers every post on it!
Surely the majority of houses have doors that at least single lock behind you now anyway so everyone should be taking their keys out?! I haven’t had a door you could leave unlocked* since I lived in a shithole second year uni rental that hadn’t been touched since the 70s!That was my thread!
I was 9 months pregnant and very unwell at the time, on medication that gave me a horrendous stomach. My other half went to pick up his kids from school and bring them here for tea - he didn't bother to take his keys despite knowing I ALWAYS lock the door regardless of what I'm doing or where I am in the flat because I'm in S.E London in a bad area and have been burgled during the day before. Anyway he was gone an hour and they just so happened to arrive back when I was on the toilet. I couldn't exactly leave the bathroom given the urgency of why I was in there so he had to wait 10 mins with his kids until I was out of the loo.
I got absolutely slaughtered on there by people telling me I needed to change my attitude toward my step children and that I was ridiculous for locking my door.
So truePeople on MN never answer their door! You aren’t allowed to visit their new babies, regardless of your relationship to the family, you’ve to wait til the kids about 6 before you can see them, all gifts are tat, everyone is a ‘narc’ and they all suffer from MH issues, mostly anxiety…that just about covers every post on it!
They love Any Fucker. She’s a rude, blunt, arsey twat but I think she gets away with it because she’s one of the well known ones. She had a thread during lockdown asking if it was ok to go to her holiday home because she was fed up. Anyone else would have got a pasting, but there were loads telling her it was ok because she’s AF and deserves a holiday because of all the good advice she’s given on MN.Then there‘s all the ‘I agree with AF’ that’s after 100 people have all said exactly the same thing, some eejit comes along with the ‘I agree with AF’ as if she’s the Queen Bee and they want to be in her inner circle!
They’re all wankers looking for an online scrap because I think a lot of them wouldn’t dare say boo to a goose in real life. I once had an argument with someone on there about how I could have prevented my daughter developing T1 diabetes. You can’t, and if you could or there’s any known advice, I would have followed it to the letter, but that poster was adamant that in my position, she would have done everything she could to stop her child getting it (but couldn’t actually tell me what that would be. Just that she would have done it).HarryToby - you’ve just reminded me of the one time I was foolish enough to start an advice thread!
I remember posting about some concerns I had about my 6yo being unable to entertain herself at home. I was really perplexed by this, because no child I’d ever encountered before was so resistant to sitting down with a toy or a puzzle or some colouring pencils and just getting on with it. I wondered if anyone else had a child like this and what did they do about it?
Someone piped up: did I take her to the park often?
To this day I do not know why that question was relevant to my dilemma.
I replied no, not really. My then-toddler was a total disaster in parks and had to be closely followed to make sure he didn’t seriously injure himself falling off a slide/walking in front of swings etc. Which meant that my older child got neglected and would stand there screaming at me to push her on the swings when I physically couldn’t. I said I found it FAR too stressful and basically couldn’t supervise two kids at the park by myself.
I got slaughtered. A massive pile on started. Post after post berating me for not taking my kids to the park. What was wrong with me, making excuses like that? Did I need help with my anxiety issues or something? It’s no wonder my child couldn’t sit down and amuse herself with toys or crafts if I didn’t take her to play outside!
I was made to feel like the shittiest parent on the planet. They spotted a chink in my armour and just attacked. I changed my username and never went back to the thread. To this day I don’t even understand how taking my kids to the park was supposed to be the answer to all my problems.
And guess what? Both of my kids were diagnosed with autism several years later. The toddler with no sense of danger? Autistic. The 6yo who couldn’t play by herself? Autistic. I wasn’t a shit parent. It wasn’t my fault.
Absolute cunts aren't they. I have flounced from several threads because the pile on just got too much. Regrettably I spent a sizable amount of time on the website when I was at my most vulnerable, navigating parenthood with a (then undiagnosed) autistic toddler and not having anybody to talk to IRL.HarryToby - you’ve just reminded me of the one time I was foolish enough to start an advice thread!

(5) Can I get you a bag of grips?I really feel sorry for some of them, they think...
(1) "Are you on GLUE ?" is the hight of comedy, this saying was around in my school years, and an in joke in Alan Partridge.
(2) "Pull your big girl pants up" when somebody is genuinely asking for help in an awful situation. It's awful advice.
(3) "Give your head a wobble" yep Mumsnet please do this because it's one of the worst phases l've ever heard.
(4) Their are some really hatefull posters on your site, many who l think are sockpuppets.
Other than that it's all good
Somebody said the glue one on another thread I visit on her. I nearly said, get back to Mumsnet.I really feel sorry for some of them, they think...
