I honestly, truly wouldn’t be the woman I am today without Mumsnet. Anyone else?

I’ve been hanging around here since 2007 and MN has helped me in so many ways — bf twins, parenting at every stage, countless life hacks, style tips, financial advice, emotional support, much-needed relationship advice (LTB), rl friendships and more recently, finally giving me the courage to leave my hideously abusive marriage (yay!) and be a terrible, nasty, free/thinking radicalised Woman.

From chicken bricks to tangle teasers, from chutneys and heated airers and dehumidifiers to mooncups, the oil cleansing and curly girl methods to the Mumsnet haircut, all via Why Does He Do That? Women’s Aid and the Freedom Project, plus all the witty, informed and interesting debate and diversion over the years, it has genuinely changed my life and positively impacted me for the better.

Thanks Mumsnet and Mumsnetters. You’ve made my world a better place.

Must be getting sentimental in my old age.

Me too 🙌🏻
This site is full of fantastic nuggets of information and has literally changed my life!

I've been here just over two years, since we relocated here.

Honestly, it's helped me assimilate, navigate the unspoken rules of social interaction and tacitly understood rules of etiquette, of what is a similar, but for all that, very different culture. It's helped me navigate a completely alien school curriculum and environment, with and for my kids - from the parents, the teachers, and the students points of view.

It's been my window to the world, in a time when I felt completely divorced from it, and shut away from it.

It's given me discussion, debate, and even some good old fashioned ding dongs, sometimes distracting me from how small my world and life had become.

It has given me the kick up the backside to not give up on life, and re-enter the fray.

Thank you Mumsnet, and Mumsnetters.

12 years a Mumsnetter and and two particular points in my life it saved my sanity.

In 101 smaller ways, including learning the proper meaning of feminism, it has helped me become more literate, eloquent and well informed.

To MN

I'm going to post even though I'm late to the party the story of my life I did mean to post the other day but got side tracked.
Yes definitely Dsis and I have learnt so much from the women of MN and I actually talk to my DDs about red flags in fact the other day one said mum that wasn't a reg flag that was an army of them, so the next generation are being affected positively by the collective wisdom.

I was also radicalised by MN 🤫
