It's driving me crackers. Please can we stop ending posts with love hearts and kisses.

You aren't texting your Mum and frankly it's irrelevant and distracting!

It'll be sparkly banners and glittery white next.

JustOneLastThing · 30/09/2019 23:35

Oh christ. When DS was tiny i joined NM for one afternoon. Everyone was so fucking cheerful I felt like weeping. That and the over sharing of detail i.e angel babies/rainbow babies/weights of the sprogs made me feel a bit unwell.

One fateful evening I found MN and its been my sanity saving addiction ever since. What the hell am I supposed to do now? Bubs and hunz makes me want to stab myself in my eyeballs!

It's the language too. 'little man', 'princess', 'hubby', 'hubs'. Ffs. It's so contrived and twee.

TheMustressMhor · 30/09/2019 23:37

Ha ha @JustOneLastThing

Netmums threw me out for "uploading an indecent image", except I hadn't.

Anyway, I wandered through cyberspace to MN. Yay!

Indecent image, indeed. As if I should do such a thing.

They did me a favour. At least here when you start a thread there's a good chance that more than one person will reply.

MustardScreams · 30/09/2019 23:45

The huns have descended. It’s driving me crackers! If I see one more ‘hubby’ or ‘bubba’ or someone using spellings like gawjuss I may lose my marbles.

I just hate the faux infantile speech so much, it’s cringey and pathetic.

TheMustressMhor · 30/09/2019 23:47

I just hate the faux infantile speech so much, it’s cringey and pathetic*

And the obsession with FB and WhatsApp and constant texting for puerile reasons...

katalavenete · 30/09/2019 23:52

someone using spellings like gawjuss I may lose my marbles.

I'm hoping gawjuss is not a genuine spelling someone has used? Please tell me you invented it to make your point.

LaMarschallin · 30/09/2019 23:53

Awww!

U all sound luffly ❤

Wish I could stay for a girly goss sesh, but the bubba needs boobin' xxx

Oh dear. I've made myself feel a bit nauseated now.
I had a quick look at netmums but there seemed to be very little going on there and no actual conversations on threads.

A place made of tickers, huns and sparkly tumbleweed.

It's been revamped LaMarscallin so everyone has left.

A good many threads now appear in Italian/French/German, too.

This is not helpful when English (or the Netmums equivalent of English) is your first language.

InglouriousBasterd · 30/09/2019 23:57

It’s p***g me off too hun

TheMustressMhor · 01/10/2019 00:00

How do you make a heart appear? I'm going to try it. [heart]

Did it work?

WhatTiggersDoBest · 01/10/2019 00:00

Bahaha I was wondering why people keep crying themselves to sleep and lashing out after they post an AIBU and find out that, yes, they are in fact being unreasonable.

There isn't even a smiley for hearts, IDK where people even get them from on MN. Are they using phone emojis or something?! Confused

Hugs chicky xxxx
