To ask the difference between Mumsnet and Netmums

MN say cunt
NM say Hun

NM is working class with acrylics and fake tan
MN is working class pretending to be middle class and considers itself to be far superior to NM

I'm a long time member of both MN and NM. Anyone remember the Tantrums and Tiaras board on Netmums or is that just me?
Kind of like an AIBU board. It didn't last very long, as the mods decided it was too argumentative or something like that
They'd faint over here lol

Whats the problem in comparing 2 sites exactly?theyre markedly different
Which is what folk are saying, depends on your preference how you find the diffs
NetMums founder Siobhan freegard awarded an OBE for services to families
mumsnet have received no such awards

Netmums - pissy wet blankets
Mumsnet - vipers born from the fires of Satan.

No really, netmums is just very cutesy whereas mumsnet is more realistic and representative of real life. In my experience anyway.

I think it's a bit shit to post opinions of NM on MN, and vice versa.

If you want to know about the differences between sites, why don't you just visit both? And then make yourself at home on one, other (or like many of us) both.

Mumsnet,swearie,confrontational,funny,solidly mc and Home Counties,well paid dp in big job
NetMums fluffy,hunz,bubbas,less mc, threads about avoiding the sw

Netmums used to have a like button and a quote button, when I was on there - both very useful.

i found most threads were more applicable to mums with young children and therefore not so useful to older mums like me. Also when i got diagnosed with a serious illness i struggled to find people to talk to over there, having said that I've killed a few threads over here when I've mentioned it!

NM has gone down hill in last years. It used to be fun with threads of random silliness good debates etc. Now its all about babies. Look on the most popular threads bit and its all pee sticks and mummies due dates. I used to love it but now spend 10 minutes catching up on specific threads and there is nothing else interesting. I miss it.
I think a lot of NM these days are very young. If you dont automatically agree with them they scream bullying or abuse (edited out abuse of course ) they wouldnt last 10 minutes on mn.
Plus the tickers!
Saw one this week saying "my baby is the size of a chicken nugget now" with actual photo of chicken nuggets! Ffs!

MN is way more intetesting and adult and yes there are some people who are nasty just because they can be but the content is much more adult and there are some hilarious threads too. And masive support when needed.
Learned loads about feminist issues on here which you daren't mention over there as they dont actually believe it happens apparently and you get name called for daring to highlight an issue. Very sad.

It took me years to work out they were different websites.

I've been wondering about this. I used to be on BMC, then it died and I did nothing for a while. Meant to try out both but came here first and haven't made it to NetMums yet - probably never will now. The wit on here is awesome - DH loves to listen while I read AIBU threads in the evening 😁

One has its Mums in front of a Net
The other has a Net in front of its Mums

What is a ticker?!

Sparkly banners at the bottom of each posters comment.

What is a ticker?!

MN - can say norty things like fuck.
Netmums will bleep you out.

Netmums - "Ur babz, ur roolz hun,"
MN - "What are you on about you stupid fucker, you can't do that with a baby. Oh and by the way, you don''t spell your like that."

Tickers If mumsnet had one too

Netmums - "85 days since Naevah Tyler Chardonnay was born"
Mumsnet - Is it Gin O Clock Yet

‘‘Twas great for local boards when my two were younger. I actually met a really nice local mum through it and we’ve been good friends now for over 13 years (and our DHs are too).
I hate all the hun & babe stuff though.

I often look on the NM pregnancy boards. Was on there one day recently when all the brexit shit about the Irish border was going on. Thought I'd have a browse to see what the NM take was. I couldn't find any discussion whatsoever. Maybe I didn't search right, I don't use it much.

When I visited Netmums they were using Comic Sans, which as everyone knows is the devil's own font, so I suspect they might be closet Satanists.

Well, I’m an MNer because if I have a concern about my son and ask, I want to be told truthful opinions and options, not just ‘ur bubba ur rulez hun’

@SootSprite

Thats how I think of it too.

mumsnet is more snobbish but more entertaining at the same time.
It's easy to get sneered at on here and the only thing that annoys me on here is anyone with a different opinion from the vast majority are instantly labelled a goady fucker!.

I think the word cunt is a bit frowned upon over there so it's best I don't venture onto NM

The board has got harder to navigate on Netmums and the pop up ads are really annoying. I rarely go on there anymore but i do think it can be more supportive over there for example if someone starts a thread about a serious issue but the thread is full of spelling mistakes people are more likely to ignore the mistakes and try and give advice on here sometimes people will ignore what the thread is actually about And pick on the Grammer and spelling , i know mines far from perfect.

Punctuation and venom.

I think Mumsnet can be incredibly negative about current affairs and I find myself really down some days because of stuff I read on here. I wish we could all get some more positivity sometimes 😕
