No sex, swearing...ERRR....

UNTIL AFTER 9PM?

IMO, this is far to controlling. If I don't want my kids to read something I tell them to go away!

That kind of thing makes me want to change my name to fuckercunter, but I shan't

JessaJam · 01/09/2006 11:49

ooooh, yes! And then we could censor peoples names too! And make sure that sex is only ever referred to as BD, and no one is ever depressed only " a little bit sad, darhling" and no one's house is a 'midden' and they feel thay should call in social services, because everything is wonderful and sparkly and bright...until someone gets into the basement room and takes all the chips out and Glenn Close's husband turns out to be a robot...

Its in the public domain, posts exist and can be read at any time of day or night.

It is our responsibility as parents to ensure our kids do not read what is innaproriate, it isn't the sites responsibilty so long as the posts are legal.

Close down your browser if you don't want your kids to see or use mumsnet when they are not around.

I do worry about the amount of parents who post constantly, do they have kids at their ankles or on knees? I only post or read when at work and having a quiet few moments. When I'm looking after my kids that is what I do, I save the internet for me time only. Have a horrendous image of ignored toddlers whilst mums mumsnet, I seriously hope this isn't the case sits back and waits for the backlash

No.

It's not my job to police your kids.

WAY too controlling.

JessaJam · 01/09/2006 11:42

??????????
Has someone suggested there should be one then?

MamaG · 01/09/2006 11:41

I'm with you beetroot - a thread could be started after the watershed, but read the next day...wouldn't work and I think we can just about manage to control what our children see on here!
