To wonder why nobody has wild lives on an anonymous forum?

Because life's a slog and the little inconsequential things pile up and take up most of our spare time. I don't have the time for drama and I know very few people who do. I wouldn't mind a more exciting life but I have neither the funds nor the energy.

Ha!!

Did you have mushy peas? I've seen them be very divisive on here. My confession is that I'm from the South and I like mushy peas (runs for cover!).

You know, I have to confess, when me and my friend, sort of, used to run through the fields of wheat, the farmers weren't too pleased about that.

This.
People who confess to being human get a right booting on here.

Wouldn't have the time to be on MN with that exciting life🤷‍♀️. I've had a delicious meal and I long to read Hello Beautiful which I will do when dc is in bed.

People who are doing wild things don’t care about other peoples opinions, do not live in shame of what they are up to and are too busy living a wild life to be on here.

I did my wild living when dial up was too slow and noisy for mass sharing, before you could even poke someone on facebook.
It was well timed

MN was more lively before 2015

I once read a wild thread about sending your boss rude messages that was "wild" 🥱

This.

Why do you need to tell strangers your worries if your life is wild enough not to worry.

When I had a wild life, I certainly wasn’t on mumsnet!!

Because I don't have a Spanish neihjnour

Unfortunately I may have misled you lol.

Nothing overly dramatic has happened beyond weird breezes and flickering candles. It doesn't stop me trying though as a sign from the beyond would be most welcome.

I have witnessed, along with others, poltergeist activity though. Was running a tarot class with a friend in my old shop, and a jewellery display full of crystal pendants hurled itself with some force off a shelf. We tried to debunk it but honestly couldn't.

Also had a decorative sword belonging to my late DP fall over in a really weird way at 6am by my bed where it was propped between the bed and my side table. It tipped forward and travelled about three feet from it's logical landing position. I couldn't replicate that either.

My hanging taxidermy crow pivots sometimes, despite there being no draughts.

I can't seem to invoke the weird though, it always takes me by surprise lol.

@MistressoftheDarkSide can we hear more about the ouija board please?

Because this site is frequented by some rather bitchy people and I expect many don't want a flaming

The take downs on here are particularly savage, anonymous forum or not. And there can be a sneering holier than thou attitude. Anyway, I have nothing wild to report because I did all that when the world was in sepia. I am now knackered and like to crochet in my fluffy slippers and Percy Pig hooded blanket. If anyone else wants to report anything wild, no judgement here - and it might be the only excitement I get😆

There have been too many successful hacks of MN data. Very few are so desperate for attention that they'd be willing to risk being outed.

We'd be jealously thinking someone was boasting if they talked about their wild lifestyle.

Yes! Were you laying there leg spread while the sculptor got to work?

Sorry to say but since having kids I'm boring and I'm here on mumsnet casually drinking tea and often secretly guiltily enjoying some madness of other peoples lives.

Youth, however...

omfg that’s a good point lol

You need to read the sex board. Plenty of fantasists,mostly men,on there leading pretend wild lives.

@Lavenderfarmcottage
Why don't you start? Tell us your shameful and/or wild confession!

With flaps like these, who needs enmity..?

@Lavenderfarmcottage

Because people who are genuinely living exciting lives don't go near social media. They are living instead of being obsessed with telling everybody they are living.

What I like about the collapse of Twitter and Facebook, and the embrace of micro social media by Gen Z and Gen A, is the return to localized and meaningful interaction. You shared a picture of you and your dog and ten of your close friends commented is better than posting endless self-photos and waiting for comments.

And dating.
Gen Z and Gen A is going back to analogue, meeting people and seeing how that goes, as opposed to the hell of algorithm dating that dominated late Gen X and all Millenials.

We all come on some sites to read about the five year old that is baking amazing cakes so must be the next Nigella.
Or the three year old that knows how animals sound.
Or the MIL that has shit herself over both of these.

But mostly it is a mild diversion from real life, which is always more interesting to ourselves than anyone else.
