AIBU to be upset about a facebook group

AIBU staying in a facebook group?

I have had a quick name change!

I'm a member of a large facebook group for natural parents who are also science aware. This group has been a fantastic resource and support network but its all gone wrong. The people running the page all have their own issues and are ganging up on other members for what seems like no reason.

I have thought long and hard about leaving the group because it seems like playground bullying but i just cant seem to do it.

They are great when you need your hand holding and will help you with any problem you could think of. They have a fantastic support network of Nutella addicts and people with difficulties like ADHD and depression I'm not sure there there is a better community.

BUT posting in it can be like stepping onto a nest of vipers. People having mental health problems can be kicked out for no good reason OR supported with people being sent round to check on them or taxis being called and paid for by the group when fleeing a husband. It just depends if you are in with the right crowd or not.

There are many LGBTQ members and there are a lot who are in relationships or who have experimented with eachother and this is causing tension on the group.

I cant seem to leave but i can't seem to stay and I don't even know these people in real life.

I've just read this thread from start to finish.

I'm now questioning my existence (and the jar of Nutella in my cupboard)

I've only just stumbled upon this completely fucking bonkers thread and after reading 600-odd posts I am STILL NONE THE WISER as to what a science-aware natural parent is or what this lot talk about in their group.

The Nutella Sex and Boob Job Fund bits sounds promising. But all the airing of dirty laundry online, a sex-crazed cult leader and vegan fucking sandals?

HARD PASS.

Mathsdebating - it's the new self-pleasure for science aware parents.

Whitecurrents · 16/06/2018 00:23

Just RTFT and I'm not sure it helped

Sillylittlemunchkin · 15/06/2018 23:59

None of them could work in ikea they would all be found injecting kallax and mastrabating with the socktopus' while crying out 'Trigger warning! Sexual content and drug use'

TattyFrench · 15/06/2018 23:23

ScienceAware they sound like a Viz comic, would they maybe find life easier if they went and worked in Ikea? Do any of them work and have high faluting jobs? Like head of PR for the world? Or do they hate their lives and are doing this to make them feel like they're extra, especially important? Because in old money they'd just be called wankers. Or twats. Or idiots.

TattyFrench · 15/06/2018 23:18

I'm unaware of science, I'm a UOSP - I know technically that should be 'I'm an UOSP'** but the a/an vowel thing didn't work so fuck it.

Although I did learn today that the moon has a 1/6 of gravity that Earth had and Jupiter has such a stupid amount of gravity that if you visited the gravitational pull would kill you. It would literally crush you.

A natural parent is easily branwashed and with enough disposable income to donate generous sums whenever called by the mentaly unstable modmin team. A NP must worship at the feet of the modmin and our omnipotent leader. Regular offerings to ensures access to the inner sanctum.

A natural parent modmin has many issues but must be obeyed and must not be out done. Their problems must be the worst and anyone with better problems must go.

Did we ever actually get to the bottom of what a 'science aware' parent was?

And if one is not a member of their group, are we to assume they consider us unaware of science?

Sillylittlemunchkin · 15/06/2018 16:26

@hairfullofsecrets thats crazy! I wonder what the benifits office would say about that! Does that make admining SANP a paid position?

TornFromTheInside · 15/06/2018 16:08

NuttyElla is spread, long live the Queen

HairFullOfSecrets · 15/06/2018 14:58

@Sillylittlemunchkin easily over a thousand ££££. Often in the form of 'I can't pay my bills' one week so have a whip round, be sent gifts, loans...then the following week posting pictures of expensive purchases and nights out.

But we can never question the integrity of the supreme leader. The leader is good, the leader is great, we surrender our will as of this date.

FizzyGreenWater · 15/06/2018 13:02

I'm not a member of SANP but I'd really like to be a member of SAF (Snapped And Farted) - would someone please set this group up asap?

Sillylittlemunchkin · 15/06/2018 10:02

It would be interesting to see just how much the admin of SANP has earned in collections from this and the various other facebook pages that they are in.

RosemaryHoight · 14/06/2018 23:57

Barbara black sheep

Panda81 · 14/06/2018 23:53

This thread is fucking bonkers.

I'm not a member of SANP - however, I am a member of another group with a NuttyElla admin who has similar rules to what I'm reading on here, and who went a bit crazy a couple of months ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same person. I NEED TO KNOW!!!

WeeDangerousSpike · 14/06/2018 23:49

Thanks Tatty Smile

HotelRedFace · 14/06/2018 23:30

I read this thread at 4.15 this morning whilst drifting in and out of sleep and when I woke back up properly at 7 I was convinced that the whole thing was a dream.

It sort of hung around in the back of my mind all day and so I've just ended up going back through my internet history to find it and then I've re-read it from the start.

And it is still just as surreal as it was in the early hours of the morning! I still have no idea what is going on, but thank you for all the laughs. Grin

Littleredboat · 14/06/2018 23:16

I nearly did myself a mischief laughing at the real Trigger warning GrinGrinGrin

Bet he loved Nutella. And DENTINOX.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 22:54

WeeDangerousSpike they're the smaller jars, 200g ones. They're the ones they still sell now.

Before and after.
