haha when I read your post I just assumed you were joking or exaggerating a little but after having been on there, you’re not are you?! They’re even sending each other the flowers emoji and ‘unmumsnetty hugs’ which is when you know serious tit has gone down
Same with tests that are negative “can you see another line??” when there is nothing there at all?They do this with their LFT’s in the Covid forum as well.Was looking at the threads for those trying to conceive, I know it’s a sensitive subject for some but why do they post pictures of their pregnancy tests that are very obviously positive but still ask others “is this positive??”
Unless you make it up, are there any names without ‘connotations’ celebrity, royal, murderer, victim, rapist, your ex boyfriend, your husbands ex wife, your relative already used the name etc. if someone told me they called their baby Madeline I wouldn’t think ‘oh yes, like the little girl who was abducted’. When people say their name is jack no one thinks ‘the ripper’!
I think if you're dying for a positive result, you want to share when it's a definite positve. Likewise if it's negative you're hoping someone else can see a line that you can'tWas looking at the threads for those trying to conceive, I know it’s a sensitive subject for some but why do they post pictures of their pregnancy tests that are very obviously positive but still ask others “is this positive??”
so many step mums like this. I pity their own children
they definitely do act like that. That’s exactly how my ex husbands, partner behaves
Yes exactly, that's why I found it unreal. There's a lot of idiots out there.
My favourite baby name threads are the ones where people say ‘I love classic names like Victoria and Marie but they’re already in use in my family, anyone have ideas for alternatives?’ And they get replies like ‘what about river-rain, Bailey-Rae or Dandelion’.
It’s literally unusable for many people. I’ve been asked to sign on every time I’ve been on there and then every time I go to a new page (whether that’s the second page of a thread or just back into the main page or onto a new thread) I have to do the data consent thing. Made more annoying by the fact when I press a thread it often goes onto the wrong one so I have to do data consent then go back a page and do data consent then click the thread I wanted (and hope it opens the right one this time) and do data consent again. So I just deleted my account.
My fiance is American and knows two or three people with little girls (around 7-10 years old) named Myra, would Mumsnet insist that name never be used again because of Myra Hindley (regardless of how long ago it was and the Moors Murders not being that well known outside the UK?)
