Mumsnet

[Chipstiz]

There's a thread at the moment by a woman asking for advice on how to survive on 1k a month.. AFTER BILLS. I could honestly cry .

 

[Belulah]

This is what the said about my child’s name. I’m not the OP!

 

[Droosie123]

Yes, she was a ‘name’. She was fine to me, actually helpful and gave very down-to-earth advice when I was a very young mum with no idea, then one day I lightheartedly made fun of a typo she made and that was it, she turned against me and my experience on there completely changed as a result.

Funny how she never makes those spelling mistakes on Twitter isn't it? If it's the one I am thinking of.

haha it was annoying! We were ‘the greedy’ couple who asked for money, purely because in my culture its tradition to gift with gold/jewellery which we have NO use for and it would have ended up more expensive for the guests which I would have hated.

But obviously some weren’t happy with the money requests

me personally, I love money requests,
Makes it so much easier and I don’t have to stress about what to get.

I know! It’s even better than a wedding list for lack of effort on my part, people who don’t like to give cash are weird. I do like a wedding though, I love a nice frock, hat dance and a piss up. Sadly I haven’t really been invited to enough to have ever got fatigued by them.....now I’m wondering why? Maybe a pound coin taped in a card isn’t enough?

 

[SloaneRanger]

Mumsnet stresses me out! I used to enjoy reading thru the threads but like previous posters here have said it is all very hysterical especially on the covid board. Very much the end is nigh. And the threads where someone says ‘my husband left the toilet seat up’ or other such nonsense and it turns into a massive ‘leave the bastard’ tirade of answers CALM DOWN

 

[Lechat]

Lol I was reading that thread this morning. What a pity party. AF seems to crop up along on that site. Are they one of the ardent remainer group? Listening Quietly, DGRossetti and BigChocFrenzy were/are like a massive clique.

Mn is also deleting threads on a random basis but also seems abit of censorship of dissenting views re covid going on .There was a thread asking nurses their current experiences of admissions etc, and most were saying things were busy..but I think a few sceptics were on it too..looked for it this morning and it had gone . Im not a sceptic but wanted to post about a woman on fb going round hospitals on the south coast filming empty wards and waiting rooms...just wanted refutations if possible but now no chance of open discussion .

 

[LyraBalaqua]

Oooh I'm going to read this thread today. I left mumsnet around the David thing if any of you have mentioned it, I ended up on reddit, the cockroach saga was sooooooo funny, I saw that unfold in real time, hilarious. Then it got weird and dark and I had no home I didn't like reddit nor did I want to go back to mumsnet, I was lost on the Internet. I became a nomad but eventually found tattle. I like it here, I'm home.

Mave, we must have gone over to Reddit at the same time , the cockroach and Justine’s response was comedy gold.

I am not a cheerleader for men, but hate it when a man dares to comment on a thread in the most innocuous way, and they turn on him and say, klaxon alert, man’s opinion etc. It can be vicious. It’s really agresssive and unnecessary. Sometimes the guys are mansplaining, in which case, take them down a peg or two, but a lot of them are just commenting quite innocently, and I can imagine them being quite shell shocked at the responses. And the double standards already mentioned on this thread. All the women are saints, all the men are bastards. I occasionally skim threads now but never post. I am sure loads of people don’t bother looking at it now.

I saw one where it was a man specific health problem, so a poster saying “I’m a man” was actually completely relevant to the topic and they turned on him. Blew my mind.

 

[Renegadedancer]

This time last year they were practically foaming at the mouth over Covid. Ranting about the government not doing enough, screeching that children are super spreaders and schools needed to be closed ASAP, raging about people with ‘persistent coughs’ being outside in public, telling us that we were on the same path as Italy and soon there would be bodies piled up in the street etc (Yes, really). And then when it happened and they had to homeschool little Tarquin and Isabella alongside doing their ever so important jobs from home, and the reality wasn’t all sweetness and light the tone changed and it was ‘I can’t live like this anymore, I’m lying on kitchen floor crying with frustration, I haven’t hugged my DM for three weeks’. Then the teacher bashing came, how dare they want to stay safe in their place of work when my child is suffering severe mental distress by being at home (yeah right hun) and I am unable to my ever so important job.

And don’t get me started on the endless ‘Can I do this’ posts. How the fuck do you expect MN to know? It’s fairly easy to access government advice. MN is not some all knowing oracle.

YABU! Sorry , I just couldn’t help it . They are a bunch of attention seeking old crows.

 

[Sven]

Hahahahaha nope

I’ll stick to reddit

 

[AngryBird101]

I’ve never understood why some women have a meltdown at what others do with their pubic hair?? They’re not going to see it

The Women on MN are uptight and clutching pearl types!!

 

[LyraBalaqua]

Yes dinner is dinner during the day, teatime is evening meal for us, but it differs around the country. I think the further north you go its probably tea, might be wrong.
Also I felt quite left out as in Ireland we don't have fucking waitrose.

All of those ‘ are you middle class’ threads

 

[Gym&Tonic]

This thread has given me the rage today. So much nastiness directed at the OP. They are such a bunch of nasty cows.

Links to some sites auto removed

There's a couple of sites where links are automatically removed on tattle, explained for each one below. Hidden links - redirection links are removed as it needs to be clear where a user is being sent. Facebook story links - as they doxx the person that shared it. Try to post the photo or...

MNsplaining is definitely a thing, know alls trying to be all superior

 

[bellinibobble]

The thing is, MN crops up at the top of Google every time you search something - you can't escape it! I was on there for maybe 18 months, and I felt like participating impacted me in a negative way. Don't get me wrong, I did find some of the stuff funny, and the drama-filled CF threads were always good to follow. It wasn't until coming on here that I realised most of those were probably fake!

I think the worst of it is realising the amount of women in hopeless situations, DV or their partner cheating and they've got no job or access to money etc, that stuff used to make me feel awful. Then you'd get some cretin come along and tear them a new one, and that was okay because 'it's AIBU' and you shouldn't be supportive because 'we don't say hun, write kisses or send virtual hugs, this isn't Netmums' or whatever? It did make me cringe how people sucked up to posters like BertrandRussell and Bluntness100 when 99 times out of 100 I thought they were talking absolute shite. I also hated how they'd delete threads, and moderate too heavily. Tattle is so much better for that alone!

 

[OatMatchaLatte]

They're just vicious. Someone can post something genuinely concerning / about a really tricky situation. They can say, am I being ridiculous, and people will reply with all sorts of nasty things! So snobby.

I'm really glad I found this forum!

 

[Chipstiz]

Yeah I was a thread about tipping and I tip my hairdressers, I thought everybody did and yes, WW3 came on..I started a war when I said “doesn’t every women below age 40 shave their vagina”, jeez I was told I think I’m a porn star and lots of other shit!!

You pornstar wannabe. Don't you know you've singlehandedly set feminism back 60 years??!

 

[BigMavis]

We're just moving your thread to style and beauty OP, you might get more answers to your obvious trolling to your pearl necklace conundrum there.

 

[Anasnake]

There’s some brilliant nonsense on there at the moment about pink flowers
