To want to give up Mumsnet

despite the fact that i have had some smashing support from you guys and some real laughs at some of the treads.

Im spending far to much time on the computor, my house is a tip, i dont much care about that but im neglecting my life. There is more to life than being a mum (well a bit) what i mean by that is i am losing my identity - first and foremost are my children, i love them dearly. My DP is lovely and im neglecting him in many ways. I went out with my pre baby friends last night and i was me again. I realised, i quite like me i am actually a fun person. I just think that MN has been fueling my self pity of late and i have dwelling in a pit of worry and self hatred. So today i posted a huge rant about someone who really pissed me off, probably does mumsnet too so massive social faux pas but i think im going to call it quits for the summer.

THanks guys for all the support offered and the great conversations but i need to get out there an be more than i am just now. I dont think it is mumsnet that is the problem for me, but the bloody computor is becoming a surrogate social circle.

So, Tirrah All

I wish I could kick my mn addiction.

Have a good break.

I've just had a few weeks off and probably won't be back during the summer holidays. You have to have a life, don't you? Save MN for the cold rainy days and when you can't sleep.

We all need a break some time, enjoy the summer and you know where we are if and when you need us again!

I think you've legitimate reasons to have a break.

I hope you enjoy your time away from MN and come back soon.

Take care of you and yours.
