What pisses mumsnet off?

Judging by one of the threads last night mumsnet does not like to be asked why anyone who is not, and does not want to be, a parent would be on a parenting website. The nastiness and bullying was extreme by any standards.

So what else winds mumsnet up?

My child is being physically and mentally bullied by another child so we are not inviting them to my child's birthday party.

I don't want my teen having sex in my house while my husband and I are downstairs.

I saw something at a party/wedding and I thought it was such a good idea that I am going to do the same.

What else is guaranteed to have mumsnetters spewing vitriol long after the original ouster has left?

Not being in the same room as your child at all times till they’re 6 months old.

Not washing your towels .4 seconds after use.

Using a toilet brush.

Not answering the door after dark, or to anyone you don’t know.

Reporting everything to 101.

Asking for medical advice instead of calling a dr.

Parking. Any sort of parking.

I am curious about who starts these threads about Mumsnet and this odd idea that it is a monolithic entity. Are you a netmums refugee, carbsarelush, keen to reset what you see as an objectionable culture? They come up with tedious frequency these days.

I think a lot of us non-parents would answer the question politely the first couple of times. But the constant repetition just gets annoying.

Mumsnet isn't one person. If it was, she'd live in North London, wear Joules, Toast or Boden, and sneer at babies with hair bows or dummies and people with tattoos.

Baby showers.
‘Gender reveals’.
Buying kids more than four things for Christmas.

People who can't drive. To hear some MNs talk,it should be an imprisonable offence if you don't learn to drive.

I hate when posters post a problem and then end the post with 'discuss'. I find it really rude!

QueenWhatevs · 19/10/2019 19:07

@FavouriteSong I am currently in north London, in a Boden dress, and I hate headbands on babies (although I don't care either way about tattoos and my DS had a dummy). I practically am mumsnet Grin

Anything with affectionate words like hun or lovely. And please do not, under any circumstances, sign off with a 'x' because some loser person will rip you a new arse hole in no time.

Starting a thread about an overdone or recently done subject. Just do a search first. It's not hard.

Trolls, but also troll hunting. Some nights all hunting non-hairy hands on deck are needed, but mostly just report and/or start a thread in Nightwatch.

SoFloofy · 19/10/2019 19:47

Dogs, on or off lead, just looking at their child from 200 meters away.

People referring to MN as if it is a one minded beast rather than hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world who are generally pissed off by a wide variety of things and never, not once, in unanimous agreement about one single thing.
