The majority of posters on Tattle have empathy unlike Mumsnet. That's been my experience. Respect that others have alternative opinions to your own.
I agree, and it's what makes tattle an enjoyable forum.The majority of posters on Tattle have empathy unlike Mumsnet. That's been my experience. Respect that others have alternative opinions to your own.
I remember reading that thread the other day. That poor poor woman, my heart goes out to herEvery time I read MN I'm left astounded by their complete lack of ability to read the damn room!
On a sad thread, a poster has just been told her husband has 6 months to live max and some idiot goes for a medal in the grief Olympics telling the OP how she only had 24h notice her husband was dying and some people only get a policeman's knock at the door. And another poster telling her to focus on 'making memories'
The poor man died that night.
Poor people are short because they only eat poor food which doesn’t have enough nutrients to make them grow tall and they’re stunted from going up chimneys from the age of 2 because they’re so poor. My three sets of twins are all 6ft plus (but very slim, I can see their ribs) because they eat me out of house and home (think berries and salmon from Ocado) and I am not poor so I didn’t have to send them up chimneys to earn money because me and my husband earn so much money (think 6 figures each).I like that mumsnet educated me enough to become aware that at 5'4 I am of low class stock. What is their obsession with tallness? All that waffle about old money and tall kids (man do they dribble over that old money talk). I think they need to get out more. I don't know many old money peeps like most mumsnetters do (lolz), but the impression I have is that they come in all manner of shapes and sizes. With mad teeth and unruly hair. Just like the rest of us, but with more expensive watches.
I often wanted to jump onto one of those threads and ask them how tall the members of the royal family are.
Tallness and thinness. Anyone over a size eight is morbidly obese in their world, in fact even a size eight is pushing it and tippjng the scales. No wonder so many of their ‘DH’s’ leave them and have affairs. Must be like having it off with a bag of bones.I like that mumsnet educated me enough to become aware that at 5'4 I am of low class stock. What is their obsession with tallness?

I’m 5ft 11 and I feel quite chubby at a size 8, I prefer to be less lardy and stay a size 4. But the bonus is I can always fit into my designer clothes which I buy because I’m so rich. Word of advice though, I’m 47 but I look 15 so sometimes the designer shop staff don’t take me seriously thinking I can’t afford the clothes, so make sure you dress well to shop in them (think French women) then they know you can afford the clothes and you get excellent service.Tallness and thinness.

Do you get mistaken for your daughters younger sister as well?I’m 5ft 11 and I feel quite chubby at a size 8, I prefer to be less lardy and stay a size 4.

All the time! It’s so hard looking so young when I’m very high up in a professional job and need to be taken seriously *tinkly laugh*Do you get mistaken for your daughters younger sister as well?
Wonder what they'd then make of me at 5'/153cmI like that mumsnet educated me enough to become aware that at 5'4 I am of low class stock. What is their obsession with tallness?

Yes, anything like that makes my eyes roll. In they rush - is it any wonder Mumsnet is so infested with trolls!The mat leave one. Obvious troll. It’s concerning how gullible some of the people posting on there are
ETA also the one where the OP has apparently only paid off £42k of her mortgage in 19 years and her husband’s added ‘a little bit’ every time they remortgaged. Sure..
Is there anything on there anymore that isn’t purely fantastical?
I’ve never met a group more obsessed with social status than Mumsnetters. All those mad threads about class indicators: U vs. non-u, things that your parents considered “common”, how to dress classy and sophisticated, how much their husbands earn, Russell Group universities… and so onI like that mumsnet educated me enough to become aware that at 5'4 I am of low class stock.

They are obsessed and shouting about it all just shows that most of them have no real money, or if they do they’re all terribly nouveau riche and they just flashing cash on the obvious to be noticed. There’s a saying that ‘money talks, wealth whispers’. Truly wealthy people tend not to be that noticeable, and certainly aren’t as obsessed with the outward trappings as your typical Mumsnetter.I’ve never met a group more obsessed with social status than Mumsnetters.
