This is not intended to be a negative post.
I think it may be an age/culture gap one.
I read MN threads and hear phrases bandied about that I had never heard of pre-MN. This could be because I am older (but really not that much - 44),
So I wonder whether I have missed some "life-lesson" when certain terms were becoming popular. I am especially intriged by terms like Disneydad", "narcissistic", "toxic parenting", "enabling behavior" etc...
Did these terms (which are great and very descriptive) exist a few years ago? Where did people "learn" them? They appear to be used with the assumption that everyone knows what they mean - I must admit that for some I needed to look it up or ask frends!
SO AIBU in wondering what came first - mumsnet descriptive terms or something else?
