So true! I once posted about having been with my partner / lived with them for a couple of years, and got absolutely slated, ridiculous! Never posted again but lurked for many years. Now I prefer a good book or to come on here
The feminist threads are beyond crazy!!! Constantly dragging sex workers and refusing to believe sex work IS real work (despite what opinions you may have on it). And the transphobia on there is off the scale!!!
They are certainly obsessed with talking about poo ...
Yes Style & Beauty was useful and still worth a look but AIBU got too much for me with people just spoiling for a fight & all new threads seemed to get posted there rather than the appropriate topics i.e “AIBU to think this rash is Chicken Pox” 
That is really nasty! Mind you there are a lot of vicious posters on there. I have deleted my account after money grubbing post as well as reading this Maybe she could tap the 'DH' for a few Bob
Absolutely agree , it can be extremely judgemental- especially the Relationships topic. It’s full of posters adamant that their partners would never ever cheat , and if they did they would instantly be filing for divorce, kids or no.I left after seeing how it was becoming a really horrible judgemental place with no empathy or real life experience whatsoever.
I remember seeing a woman post that her partner was smoking a bit of weed and should she try to get him to stop as they had a child together. One hysterical reply was that the baby would be taken away by ss after the police realise he is a drug dealer with other dealers 'in and out the house'.
I would be absolutely slaughtered for some of the life choices I've made on there
Yes sorry I just had a read back through and some people are quite compassionate but I definitely remember previous threads were I have read some very harsh posts.
ExcellentI quite enjoyed her guided mediation: Imagine an ocean. A deep, blue ocean. A beach with white sand. A seagull flying over the sand. Pelicans chasing the current over the waves. The waves crashing on the beach. The white sand. The desert. Cactus in the desert. Blue sky. Blue, cloudless sky. Birds singing. A walled garden. Lush, green grass. Storm clouds. A cool breeze. The crack of thunder. The dark sky illuminated by lightning. A long, dirt road stretching toward the horizon. A grove of olive trees. A farmer. A woman pulling water from a well. Children playing in the distance. A tall tree, stretching up to the sky. Blue sky. Warm sun. Mountains in the distance, topped with snow. A farmhouse. A stable. Horses enclosed in a corral. Sunset. A flock of black birds in the sky. The hoot of an owl. The sounds of crickets. An old front porch with a swing. A glass of cold lemonade. A warm chair next to the fireplace. A gray cat curled on a small rug.
It was the posting from the back of the ambulance while the paramedics resuscitated her that made me doubt her story. 'Being blue lighted to hospital buslings, and I've just stopped breathing, be right back'
Just had a look
I think they’ve reach maximum in lockdown!
From Ocado of courseYes!! Or the people who spend £300 a week on their grocery shopping
Yeah and I hate their lingo too and they just have a different humour from us Brits and as we are quite dry and sarcastic then they always think the sarcasm is real so you spend your time constantly explaining that you were just being sarcastic, CBA with it!
Yeah, it might have been her. She said it was a surprise pregnancy but I think it got found out that it wasn’t. Or she posted on a sock puppet account that she’d died or something stupid. I can’t remember exactly but I haven’t seen her on MN since she had the second kid. It’s been a good few years since I’ve seen anyone who might be her.
And where in the UK are they? It's been raining non-stop here. No tutu-wearing kids dancing around the fields. No bum shuffling babies looking cute. I am glad MNHQ removed the disablist terminology she used though.
And you're drug addled scum that doesn't deserve their children it you did a few lines in your 20sSorry I’m a bit late to the party here. It always stuck out to me how many people on MN had cleaners, not that there’s anything wrong with that if you can afford one, but they were constantly accusing them of stealing, it was awful! The final straw for me was when someone posted saying a brand new bottle of pink gin had suddenly become half empty and it HAD to be the cleaner, not her teenage son or husband who she later disclosed had previously been an alcoholic
People from a working class background are as a rule the most kind and generous and give you the shirt off their back. Back in my barmaid days I would get tipped every drink off working class men/women, then your high day and holiday middle class customer would order a ton of drinks, talk to you like you’re a moron, not say please or thank you and not leave any tip!
I could also never get over how naive some people on MN come across, like they have never lived in the real world, dealt with normal folk or ever been in any kind of real life sketchy situation (not that that’s a bad thing!) oh and you’re an alcoholic if you have a drink any other time than on Christmas and no more than a glass of champagne then at that
