to think other mums forums are mostly poop?

[faroffsomewhere]

Mumsnet seems to be the only one where people are witty with banter.
I've not found another where you can talk as you do in real life.
They often are full of things which just aren't like true conversation.
Or maybe it's ME

[MaureenMLove]

Oh no, no, no, you are most definately, NBU!

[faroffsomewhere]

Which other ones have you tried?

[MaureenMLove]

TBH, I've only strayed onto Netmums local, to sell stuff! But that was fluffy enough for me, to know where I belonged! I'm a late starter on anything internet (only been here for just over a year) but since dd is already 12, I don't look for baby/toddler etc advice, I just come for the idle drivel!

yanbu. BUT I am liking special kids in the uk.

[SheikYerbouti]

YANBU

However, YABU to use the word "poop"

I'd use fucking shit, mesen, but I am common

[Saturn74]

Maureen, I think you should email MNHQ and ask for an 'idle drivel' topic.

[MaureenMLove]

Mmm, would that be the same as lumping half of them together?

[Saturn74]

3/4

[SheikYerbouti]

I went on another forum where they were all so fluffy ans called eache other "hun" farking constantly
I managed to poach on of them and bring eyr over here - I knew she didn;t belong there.

[MrsMattie]

YANBU. The others are all bollox.

[faroffsomewhere]

sheik, I like the sound of poop, and stool. Shit would be good too.

netmums, yes, been there.
BBc is nasty and fluffy and gangy uppy.

none of them are funny.
The word hun makes me want to puke.
And they all have those horrid little faces with "hug" and hearts.

[faroffsomewhere]

Some of them have pages of faces, smiley ones which move, faces for things like "having a poop,but luv u anyway"

[MrsMattie]

Everyone knocks Netmums, but the worst by far is Babycentre. Nasty.

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

Aww, hun, so noone on here belonged to Hunnybeez? Or its splinter groups?

[faroffsomewhere]

What happens at babycentre? erkk it sounds kind of like a shop

[faroffsomewhere]

Hunnybeez?

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

Oh, yes, lovingly called each other 'bee'. I hung around for ages but, obviously, wasn't quite sweet enough. Mostly have emigrated to Cosy Nostra nowadays.

[faroffsomewhere]

But are we all nasty here?

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

That should have said "most" not "mostly" as that would imply I'm there but I'm not. MN it is for me.

[MrsMattie]

I found Babycentre scary. Lots of serious, bossy, humourless people. No fun. No debate. No swearing . It was like being at detention at a really strict girls' school, only I was a 'day girl' and they were all boarders. I couldn't wait to get out.

[faroffsomewhere]

The US ones are the worst though, for being nice.

[faroffsomewhere]

[CaptainKarvol]

aaargh, Babycentre

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

Oh yes, I lurked a lot on Mothering. Not so much sweet as bloody PC and long-winded trying not to hurt anyone's feelings.
