Pretty much. I find it odd because I knew there are abusive men out there. However on that site, if you have a grumble about your husband or boyfriend or whatever, he is instantly abusive and you must leave.Do all of Mumsnet hate men? I just wanted to rant about my husband and basically told to leave him.
I’m just a bit fed up tbh and wanted to write in a safe space and now think I will just stick to tattle.
Don't even get me started on how they pretend to be thick by saying "I'm guessing your American because you said Mom, so I suggest you seek advice for your own country"There’s a ‘how do you pronounce…’ thread in full sail on there at the moment. It’s so weird how some of them can’t get their heads round how some words are pronounced differently in different parts of the country. Do they never leave their leafy, rural villages or talk to their cockney sparrer cleaners?
Mumsnetters do it so everyone else must too!I can't get over the bathroom bin fixation or not changing your pad/tampon at someone's else house. If it needs changing then just do it. Who is examining the contents of their own bins that much?
Is it anyfucker who is obsessed with that? She never came on my radar much but I think she was a big advocate of LTB and then was a mumsnet hero. Bizarre really.Pretty much.

I find it such a dangerous place at times because while there could be someone who is in an abusive relationship, I seriously doubt all the men they post about are being abusive and sometimes people just want to grumble. I can't help but wonder if those who constantly post that they need to leave the man etc are either single or are with someone who never does anything wrong.
Any mistake is seen as abusive. I once commented on there that men male mistakes or genuinely just dont think sometimes and I got told that i needed to leave my abusive marriage if i i thought this was acceptable. I pointed out I also make mistakes and then got told I was being abusive but didnt realise it because I was used to am abusive marriage and thought that was normal!!
Its perfectly fine to grumble about your husband! We all do about our partners, ita normal, despite what Mumsnet think.

And then go on to insist it's because the person has been Americanised by too much tv and picked it up from there and it's not a proper English word, despite the poster being 55 and growing up in the Midlands and literally no exposure to American tv shows as a child!!!
I feel like they all think the internet only covers their little village and everyone on there are neighbours
If someone ever starts a thread complaining about badly behaved children you will almost immediately get a response saying something like ’they may have ASD/ADHD/ADD/Conduct Disorder etc’ to justify it, when in fact nine times out of ten these kids are just bloody naughty!They’re all armchair psychologists on there. They throw words like ‘gaslighting’, ‘narcissistic’, and ‘emotional abuse’ around with gay abandon and they’re able to diagnose whether someone’s autistic from a single post. Imagine how much money and time the NHS could save if they employed some of them.
And tbf, it’s quite offensive ascribing bad behaviour to a disorder or autism. And they do it with adults too.If someone ever starts a thread complaining about badly behaved children you will almost immediately get a response saying something like ’they may have ASD/ADHD/ADD/Conduct Disorder etc’ to justify it, when in fact nine times out of ten these kids are just bloody naughty!
As much as it pains me to agree with anyone on mumsnet, I do agree with this wholeheartedly! I was a childminder for 10 years and the smell of the nappy bin used to knock me sickSAN PRO! ARGH! One of my most hated mumsnettisms. Genuinely made me question if I was weird for having a bathroom bin at one point. I remember a thread once where several women claimed they put all their babies dirty nappies directly into the outside bin because “even in nappy bags they make your house smell”. First question, what are you feeding your kids? Second question, who can be arsed with that?
Yes, but there are people on there who claim to be able to hold theirMumsnetters do it so everyone else must too!
Yes, but there are people on there who claim to be able to hold theirif they are not at home and never at work or other people's houses.
Genius. I am so stealing that. I love that I'm actually being paid to shitI'm an antiMNetter. I wait until I get into work so I get paid to poo and have free bog roll five days per week.
Sadly so true! There was a thread the other week moaning about her husband who was a carpenter by trade I believe. She complained that after a hard week on building sites, he then spent all day Saturdays working on their doer upper! And that he didn't want to get contractors in as a: by her own admission they'd not do as good a job as her husband and b: it would cost thousands.The only acceptable menz on Mumsnet are totally emasculated ones. The ones who work a 12 hour day then come home and meekly start scrubbing the bathroom whilst simultaneously cooking turbot & dust for dinner. Because, you know, the Mumsnetter is shattered having taken Viola to Toddler French AND Pre-School Meditation.
Sadly also very true. The double standards are so clear all the way across the site.They’ve deleted the thread on there about Katie Price being arrested because it’s ‘not in the spirit of the site’. Yes it’s not in the spirit of the site to point out that she’s a drunk driving, drug addled narcissist, appalling mother, violent abuser and all round skank. Yet you just know that if that were a male celebrity who’d done the same the thread would still be up and they be calling him all names under the sun
