My all time favourite troll. She could probably be my specialist subject on Mastermind.

She’s on her (at least) third name-change now and has reduced the number of (fake) children she has, but her haughty, sneering inaccuracies are so blatant they’re visible from space.

The MN mods know full well that she’s a troll (it’s been proven to them several times), but for some reason they cover for her. No idea why 🤷‍♀️
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.

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.

Do anyone of them get on with their neighbours? And why do so many of them have a problem with their neighbours enjoying their gardens in the summer? God forbid one of them should light a barbecue on a sunny day!

Honestly reading Mumsnet gave me such a complex about the way I conduct myself in my own garden 😅 the stress every time I have a bbq or some rubbish to burn, or want to cut my grass at the ‘wrong’ time of day.. 🙄

I got an email this/last week about a garden situation. Next door neighbours kids were talking....yes talking to the the op, over the fence when she was in her garden. These brats even asked for ice lollies when she offered her own children them. I think the general consensus was tell them to F off and the poor urchins are obviously neglected.
The only other solution was get prickly plants for the fence. I gave up on it, and came away with a sense of shame :confused:

I've always had this feeling that some posters on there live very joyless lives. I stopped posting on there 2 years ago because a poster just pounced on me because she didn't believe something had happened to me and just wouldn't let it go.

I much prefer it on here - if anyone disagrees, no one is called thick or uneducated and no one asks for a source for any information.

Another ‘how dare my neighbours enjoy their garden‘ post. Good job they don’t live near me as everyone seems to have a bar in their garden since covid! And pervy men are going to look through her daughters bedroom window regardless of whether or not there is a bar there, just move bedrooms or put up some blinds, you know like normal people do..🙄 sometimes I wonder if these people live in the real world?
 
I think name changing is a shocking idea. I could set up a persona over there as a die hard Tory then name change and become a Corbynista, be anti NHS and pro private health care, then decide the NHS is awesome. A lot of trolls become unstuck when they forget to namechange and are rumbled by claiming to be a victim of DV whilst also being a happily married mother of 6.
The thing that always gets me is the rank fantasists like that are often ignored/accepted, but you’ll get someone who changes a minor detail that’s irrelevant like saying they have a son instead of a daughter or their husband being an electrician instead of a plumber (as mumsnet recommended at one point) and they’ll be absolutely leapt on for it if the regs advance search them, I don’t get it at all 😂

I’ve just been reading that one. 100% troll.
(Though totally worth it for the thicko who is claiming that security cameras breach GDPR! 🤣)

I posted once on MN simply just asking advice if there may be any benefits that women on SMP may be entitled to. I got eaten alive and made out to be some massive work shy scrounger looking to claim stuff so I can sit on my arse and not work. Nob heads!

I left Mumsnet last year and haven’t looked back for everything you’ve said here.

The last thing I posted about on there was how I wasn’t worried about my toddler’s development during lockdown despite only being with me and my husband, at his grandparents and nursery as he’d come on absolutely leaps and bounds and we’d be able to make up for everything he’d missed when the world was safer. I got jumped on by poster after poster about how I was a terrible mother for not taking my son out to the supermarket during lockdown! They berated me over and over again for not thinking long term about the important life skills he was missing out on by not visiting a shop for a year. About a dozen posters literally told me my son wouldn’t understand what a shop was, how to use money, how to speak to people he didn’t know, how to be respectful to strangers ….he’s 2! I felt so attacked that I deleted the app and banned the site on my phone so that I didn’t have to see any more of the attacks coming in.

And I can safely say my son is one of the most advanced 2 years old I’ve met, his language is well above where it should be, he’s sociable, friendly, kind and respectful - even without a supermarket trip for a year…so up yours to everyone on Mumsnet

Since coming to Tattle I’ve felt supported and surrounded by people who understand everyone is different, everyone is allowed a different opinion and that it’s to be respected. It’s a much much nicer and friendlier site than Mumsnet!

One thing I’ve noticed about the pandemic from working from kids is how resilient they are and how they have easily accepted all of the changes and restrictions. I’ve not once yet heard a child complain about any of it. They’ve just taken it at face value and have got on with it. It’s us adults who’ve struggled. Probably understandably given we’ve been around a lot longer than them, but still I think we are doing them a massive disservice by saying it’s ruined their lives and they will never get back what they’ve apparently lost. I don’t believe for one second any child will be impeded by the lockdowns, they will adjust again once things go back to normal.

this is possibly the funniest thing I have ever read. Why should a baby even know how to use money? They’re so stupid and self involved and it shows how little of a life they have that they have to attack other peoples parenting.

I am convinced half of the people on Mumsnet are crappy parents neglecting their children’s needs because they’re scouring online forums telling people how to look After their kids whilst their kids are behind them asking for attention.

I must be a terrible parent because I avoid taking my children to the shops at all costs unless they need to be with me to try on shoes or something because it’s a pain and I usually just want to get in and out as fast as possible. Besides, it’s not exactly difficult to work out how shops work, you can teach toddlers that sort of thing from playing games at home or even just from watching tv. Mumsnet users really will tit on anyone for the most ridiculous things 🤣

Also last year wasn’t it advised to go shopping alone if you can? Obviously some people have no choice but not taking your kid to the supermarket in the middle of a pandemic if you can help it is probably a smart thing to do.

I don’t have kids myself but I have brought kids to the shops. And each time I have regretted it. They walk off, they throw tantrums, they keep asking for tit and generally they’re a nuisance and you keep losing your train of thought.

These people don’t understand not everything should be done with your children glued to your hip.

Exactly. Shopping isn’t fun for me so I like to get it done as quick as I can and bringing children along does slow you down. To be honest I hated being dragged round the shops with my mum as a kid because it was boring, so I doubt mine or anyone else’s kids are missing out on much nor will they struggle with the concept of shopping when they’re older because let’s face it everywhere we look we are being told to buy this or buy that, even the most sheltered person would be able to work out how a shop works. Bloody mumsnet😂

I don't think many of the posters on there live happy lives. If they did, they wouldn't be spending all their time online ripping other women to shreds.

They also probably wouldn't say boo to a goose in RL despite what they say online.

I think a lot of them wanted Christmas 2020 cancelled because they couldn't say no to their relatives and it was easier for them if the government said no meeting with others during Christmas.

Was interested to see that my mumsnet bully is still, many years later, doing the same over on twitter. I never knew what she looked like on Mumsnet but she is constantly posting selfies there. Amusingly, she looks like a Bo Selecta version of Joan Collins.
