Mumsnet #3

Was Orange the one who said she hadn’t had sex in ten years? Didn’t she keep flouncing and coming back with different accounts?

Yes! Very sly and manipulative.

They are crazy, talking about threatening phone calls and photos. Kind of interesting to watch though

On the subject of ‘thick as mince’, this comment is pretty special

Oh……my……god

That Cabbage and Roses outfit with the hat reminds me of the dress and hat Maria wore in The Sound of Music when she first goes to the Von Trapp house

A teacher is struggling to manage work and childcare. Its only taken about five posts before someone has suggested an Au Pair Yes, let’s just employ an unqualified teenager instead of using a nursery or child minder like everyone else.

Anybody read the 'How do we fix this?' thread? GOT to be a troll, or a bored schoolkid, surely. Being triggered by sunflowers because she was holding them in a dream she had about her boyfriend cheating on her!

I'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.

Genius. I am so stealing that. I love that I'm actually being paid to shit

There was a crazy one yesterday saying that Christmas should be moved to the summer because of Covid. A lot of posters disagreeing weirdly enough but the OP seemed deadly serious about it.

My American friend used to do a "Christmas in July" event for charity. She'd collect toys and then donate them.

I hate how some posters are treating mumsnet as some kind of oracle for all things Covid related. The Covid form is a joke with
loads of threads asking can I do this or can I do that? Why not just bloody Google like the rest of us have to? A lot of the ‘advice’ posted in response isn’t even accurate. Actually a lot of the advice is terrible most of the time. The mods should really police threads asking for advice.

They often don't really want an answer, they just want to whinge and moan and for everyone to agree with them. I used to post a link to the relevant section on the govt website, then I'd get accused of being the thread police, just for answering the question they've asked in the OP.

Yup…pretty much

Here you go!

Summary: "I told a married male friend I love him and he turned me down because he loves and is faithful to his wife. Monogamy is evil like capitalism"

I don't disagree RE autism and having fixations. My point was at 2 and a toddler the poster is getting her knickers in a twist for no apparent reason.
Autism or not I just felt it was a weird over reaction and then calling her kid odd

Does she have her knickers in a twist for no reason though? It could be that she has a gut feeling that something is different about her child and she’s looking for people who have been in the same boat. I see in your screenshot she mentioned a couple of other things (fear of loud noises etc).

I hate it when parents raise valid concerns about their child, dare to say “autism” and get shouted down that they’re crazy and their child’s behaviours are normal, why are they so keen to “label” kids, let kids be kids, autism is so overdiagnosed… I could go on.

It’s ableism.

And the regular wood burning stove thread is back today. I have to stop myself behaving in a deranged and over invested (true mumsnet) manner which would involve AS them for posts about long haul flights and fast cars.

 

[Anasnake]

Seasalt is another brand they like, it’s all so frumpy

 

[SpindleWhorl]

Run. Now.

 

[Eenymeenyminymo]

The last one about the missing person, I read the thread and it was written by a man, he’d been having a sexual relationship for 9 years with a Muslim man and the guy had gone AWOL. They weren’t romantically involved but were friends?!?

 

[Pinkii]

The style and beauty threads kill me.
There's one at the moment, everyone falling over themselves to rave about an item the OP has posted which really isn't very nice at all. They're such an echo chamber though, the first poster says that's lovely and they all follow suit. Ditto if it's something they don't like. Ugh.

I made the mistake of posting for outfit suggestions once. Never again!

The wedding dress one? If so, sorry that is one ugly dress to get married in

Anyone seen this thread? Average UK salary how are you getting on? The OP is quite clear she only wants to discuss how people get by on the average salary of £31k of course it turns into a salary dick waiving thread. Post on first page from someone who says they earn 5 times the average salary and still struggling. Pack of cnuts.

Hi all, currently suffering from hairloss 4 months PP just wondering if any mums have had the same issue and have any recommendations of shampoo/conditioner/masks that would help? Just came out a shower to another chunk out don’t know how much longer this goes on for xx

Any shampoo with biotin in it will make your hair look thicker until it stops which it does,

There is one that was really tickled me and it's nothing really. "To think I ate the prawns" One of the replies " "If the packet was swollen in anyway, or went pupfff when you opened it, you're screwed"
First world problems.

People on MN do have some seriously questionable food hygiene though. I’m guessing it was a thread about eating out of date prawns?

I have had to hide that, BIWI is a twat.

Lolz at all the triggered meat eaters on that thread

I just had to seek out that thread for the lolz.

Read further, and it turns out its the weather the girl doesn't like!

Lots of the responses that are supportive of the OP are basically just complaining about their own shitty PE classes decades ago. On the other extreme is people calling the OP a bad parent. Then in the middle people saying 'don't lie for her and maybe just get her some more base layers?'
