I too came here after being invited following the jack monroe deletion. And now I just get frustrated when I can't "like" posts over on MN
I used to love Mumsnet Madness but I unfollowed. I hated all the comments. So many of them were along the lines of women being crazy, mothers being boring and stupid. Was a shame as it ruined something really hilarious.The only time I ever read anything from Mumsnet is when it's posted by Mumsnet Madness on Twitter. Hilarious snippets of some of the crazy posts. I hope however runs that page pays the sub so I don't miss out
OP, I take it you mean “vicious”?Is it me or is Mumsnet viscous? I’ve posted a few times on there, nothing unreasonable, and the commenters just attack! And they have the cheek to moan about Tattle being “bullying”
Someone is here from Mumsnet then!OP, I take it you mean “vicious”?
You’re a step mother? Then it doesn’t matter what you was posting about on MN - you’re wrong! You were in the queue at Tesco and a man came up and took something out of your trolley and then punched you when you said something? You probably deserved it for being so awful to your step children. Home wrecker!You don’t even need to be posting an issue about your husband for them to tell you to leave him We were having issues with my step daughter a couple of years ago and out of sheer desperation for an objective opinion I made a post there. Won’t make that mistake again
within an hour of posting it, id been told I was a cow, a horrible step mother, that my husband was a bad father, that he was probably still sleeping with his ex and that I should leave him because they thought he was a terrible father and that I should be reported to social services for allowing my kids to be around him
(FYI, all I posted was that his then 12yo daughter had stopped coming over when she was supposed to come for contact as she wanted to be with her mates at mums house instead and we were torn whether to leave her be, or try and be more proactive at getting her to come over!)
never went back on!
yes you are completely right. I was told it was mine and my daughters fault that his daughter didn’t want to come over And that I need to remember I’m not his daughters mother....... I’m well aware of that! me not being her mother didnt change the issue we were having tho!You’re a step mother? Then it doesn’t matter what you was posting about on MN - you’re wrong! You were in the queue at Tesco and a man came up and took something out of your trolley and then punched you when you said something? You probably deserved it for being so awful to your step children. Home wrecker!
I hated mumsnet and really hated the baby centre message boards. Full of rude, sanctimonious cows with pack mentality. Waiting to brag how brilliant and moral they are. I Used to spend all my time arguing with people on theremumsnet is a bloody nightmare. I went through a lot of parenting sites but mumsnet was the worst. Someone called me selfish for putting my son through cancer treatment. Never went back after that.
Babycentre was alright but I never got into it as much. My birth board was pretty dramatic but I learned not to take it seriously.
The West, and UK maybe more so, has a long history of cultural self-criticism rooted in the renaissance/enlightenment that isn't to be found elsewhere....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.
Those two are absolute bullies.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
