Any oldtimer MNetters out there feel like they are outgrowing Mumsnet?

[WelliesAndPyjamas]

I might be feeling maudlin and incoherent (chesty cold, stomach bug, and exhausted after several months of 50 hour working weeks) but having put myself to bed this morning and allowing myself the treat of browsing Mumsnet properly for the first in ages...I feel like I have outgrown Mumsnet 😱😱 I can’t seem to find that many threads of interest to read any more. I think I joined MN about 13 or 14 years ago and I used to love it, finding it a constant source of laughter, advice, and kindness between people in similar siutaions or just seeking advice. These days the threads seem a bit samey, people very quickly and easily turn against each other, and you rarely if ever come across anyone you ‘know’ for a laugh and a catch up.

Any oldtimers out there - am I rosetinting the old days or have I actually outgrown MN?

Fair chance I am just too ill and should just shut up and put away the ipad though 😂

I miss secret santa and she who must not be named controlled crying villian threads.

I have to say I tune out the minute I read snapped and farted or penis beaker. There seems to be much less made of flouncing these days whereas it used to be a real flouncer's corner weekly habit for some. Maybe the namechanging alters that?

My career topic is as good as always, I think it is because it is far from the madding crowd

I am also a FWR pupil now and have learned so much. Don't think I ever strayed that way in the olden days...

Anyfucker can come round mine for cake anytime and in fact when I am bored I do an AnyFucker search for wisdom pearls.
