I've decided that I'm not taking any tit from the rude witches on AIBU. Wonder how much longer my account will last?
Who’d even want to eat a Christmas dinner that had been coughed and sneezed all over?? Dinner’s ready guys - turkey and all the trimmings with an extra side of phlegm xShe can’t have had the flu if she managed to get out of bed and cook a meal. More like a bad cold. So yeah, sounds like a martyr!
Speaking as a mother of a speech-delayed autistic child, I don't even understand why Covid is being blamed for speech delays. Babies and toddlers learn to talk at home, right? By being spoken to throughout the day by parents and caregivers? So why should being at home during lockdown be a cause of speech delay, as long as their parents didn't neglect them?I may be the one completely out of sync here, but does anyone else find a complete over-egging of the effect of lockdowns on people on mumsnet? There’s a massive thread about the effects on children and so many people saying their children (who were babies in the pandemic) have speech and language issues, that they themselves are traumatised, that their children are irreparably damaged…
I accept I may well be biased as I lost a parent to Covid in lockdown 1, and wish we had gone harder faster so they wouldn’t have caught it. But all of this hand wringing over how horrendous the trauma of lockdown was and how they’ll never get over it seems ridiculous. Yes it was tough, but the way it gets talked about on mumsnet feels very overblown. I work with kids and it’s true there are learning gaps, and some year groups are noticeably less mature than they otherwise would have been, but most kids seem fairly normal. We’ve hardly got cohorts of kids sat at home rocking with parents needing therapy because they had to stay at home for a few months. It’s like competitive lockdown trauma comes out to play on those threads.
That was reported to the nights watch last night. Completely out of order, the OP is clearly strugglingI am on the 'duck autism' thread at the moment as I totally get why the OP has lost her rag with parenting an ASD child. There are a couple of bellends moaning about it and trying to get it deleted. FFS.
I mean I was shaking a bit the day of my Mum’s funeral but apart from that noI’ve never got the “sobbing and shaking” thing either…
Are they actually sitting there physically shaking? Because they’re a bit upset?
do people really shake?
BIB - I think that's why so many type things like DDog and DCat and DGuinea Pig too. It's like a way of fitting in, even when it makes absolutely zero sense.This is my take on the howling, sobbing, shaking posters. They are lonely. They lack normal social interaction. A lot of them seem to be stay at home mums, so they have limited contact with other human beings. They've stopped understanding the usual reaction to something a little bit funny is a wry smile, to something a little bit sad is a sigh, maybe a shrug. They mimic other posters and their overblown reactions, and feel part of the community.
As for the 'I never sit down' gang - how come they are some of the most prolific posters on Mumsnet? Have they learnt to type on their phones with one hand, whilst bleaching the skirting boards with the other? I bet my (not 6 figure) salary that most of the busy busy busy lot are slumped on the sofa, idly working their way through a party bag of M&Ms. whilst they scroll through Mumsnet looking for a thread to post on.
They are the most dramatic bunch I’ve ever came across. I read a post where a woman said her blood ran cold when MIL had the cheek to ask if SIL could join for ChristmasI’ve never got the “sobbing and shaking” thing either…

I love it! I can't for the life of me remember what the thread was about, but someone said their 'jaw hit the floor'. I was glad though that they didn't say 'literally'They are the most dramatic bunch I’ve ever came across. I read a post where a woman said her [COLOR=%s] blood ran cold [/COLOR] when MIL had the cheek to ask if SIL could join for Christmas
Customer service has legit gone to pot since covid and most companies don’t give a shiny shite. I’ve had the wrong item sent before and they couldn’t have given less of a tit if they tried. I can’t stand the holier than thou crowd that come out on threads like that. I say keep the fuckers.Has anyone seen the AIBU post about the girl who was sent the wrong (more expensive) shoes? A legit question of what she should do because they’re lovely shoes.
So many responses saying she’s a thief
The top.one looks like there's a lot of paid action going on in thereAmazing bedrooms, all will be featured in January's edition of Country Living magazine I'm sure

It's not you! There was also something about babies being traumatised by everyone wearing masks and not being able to see facial expressions. I remember one poster even saying that a longterm lockdown will cause the human race to die out.I may be the one completely out of sync here, but does anyone else find a complete over-egging of the effect of lockdowns on people on mumsnet?
