Is that true? I must admit I have wondered about the origins of Tattle and the fact it is hosted overseas.... In fact a mumsnetter set up tattle and messaged me on mn to direct me to this site and I'm glad.

Wonder if she’s back under another name? Still a cunt either way.I was always surprised when BertrandRussell disappeared, she’d turn up on every thread like she was the queen of MN and spout the most obtuse comments. Everyone would then pretend they agreed because no one dared not.
I think a lot of them genuinely don’t like spending time with their children.Slightly! I’ve just looked again at the main section which shows the live threads, 3 out of 6 are about schools returning. Same old shit being trawled, it’s a cess pit![]()
Same with going to A&E. Unless your head has fallen off or you have accidentally been disembowelled, it's incredibly selfish to take up room in A&E when there are people who are really sick. Put a hot cloth on it and take an aspirin and stop being so pathetic. It's for accidents and emergencies only, not someone like you with a thunderclap headache and chest pain.I am so glad I found this thread! MN has always been a strange one for me, I have posted occasionally and only felt worse afterwards as I was usually dismissed with comments asking why I care, why bother with the drama etc.
The worst posts for me are when an OP asks 'AIBU to take a day off work?', and I always feel so bad because I know how the thread is going to go, regardless of the reason for a day off - 'I have never taken a day off / I would go in if I were you / I went to work with a broken leg' and other comments becoming gradually more and more ridiculous! I half expected someone to come on and say 'I went to work during surgery, I just got wheeled in and got on with it'. I always felt bad for the poor OP feeling rough and then getting harsh comments from MN.
They all just want a bit of rough when it comes down to it.These posh women areprobablythe same ones who salivate over the local builder/gardener/bricklayer, and write reams of self-indulgent twaddle about limerance.
Yes. Really helpful !That was piglet John or something![]()
She could be a bit of a cow at times although I enjoyed the stories of the fantasy life she’d created. The stunningly high achieving kids and the Christmas sheep in fairy lights was a particular fave but I also remember the bedroom. It was the first photo that came up for ‘hotel bedroom’ on Google iirc. I honestly don’t know how she’s still on there. Possibly because she doesn’t start threads (like rainy puddles and alphabet st) and just limits herself to replies.Yeah I enjoyed her efforts. I remember the hotel bedroom thread with fondness. I imagine she has had many incarnations over the years, and mumsnet have just given up trying to rid the place of her, at least as this account shes fairly harmless, albeit not completely benign.
That’s exactly what they are likeWow I’ve never really delved into Mumsnet before but I just checked out that AIBU thread and Jesus some of them are vile. Some poor woman is asking if it’s unreasonable to want her husband to check in with her and her 4 kids whilst he’s away abroad for the long weekend; the responses are essentially ‘yes you are being unreasonable, why should he be glued to his phone all the time?’
Just imagine loads of bitter old women sat at home not getting any and taking it out on a forum![]()
Oh god why would you go on an anonymous forum to clearly lie about your parenting? It was getting more and more ridiculous!The competitive lunchbox threadsAll the dcs were ‘tall and thin’ and either ate like a horse or survived on plain, home made yoghurt and half a foraged berry. And the MN chicken that would feed 8 people for 5 years (don’t forget to boil the bones for stock!).
It's not all of England. Just the England that is not London. The forum seems extremely London centric. Now I was born in London. It's my favourite city in the world. When I was single it felt like the centre of the universe, full of interesting outward looking people from all over the world. But when I had kids my London became full of sanctimonious wankers who think that anywhere outside London is some weird Medieval backwater. All of those people are on Mumsnet in one breath telling everyone how cosmopolitan they are because they buy groceries from the Ethnic supermarket and then full of ill informed slagging off of any other place because the only time they venture out of London is to travel to their second home where they hole up with their Ocado deliveries. I moved away and it really stands out.I'm in agreement with others about how Mumsnet has changed and gotten so bitchy and nasty. Especially in the last 5 years. It has been helpful for me in regards to my daughters but it's the not-needed bitchiness
Also I hope this comment is okay to make and probably will be taken down, but what I don't like about Mumsnet is the constant moany/bitchy posts against Brits or England. Especially recently, there's been multiple threads on England/English people all quite negative and I think that's wrong because if the shoe was on the other foot it would cause an uproar when racism is erong on all angles. In the past week on AIBU at least there's been two threads about how crap England is...
God yeah, it's a ridiculously privileged bunch of people. Or they pretend to be. I think my favourite recent thread was the one about whether being on 60k made you 'well off.' A surprising number of posters were actually insisting that they were poor because they didn't have that much disposable income after paying for school fees and their £2000 mortgage payments, I kid you not.People who have the audacity to rent, earn minimum wage, not go to university, have a child in their teens - all are castigated by the mafiosi on there
