Is Mumsnet getting worse?

[Soreen123]

I post here from time to time looking for advice when I’m not really sure who to talk to. Some of the responses I have had are just mean.

I recently put my house link up (which I realise- biggest mistake) only to be told by some I must be lying about the parking situation, my house looked ‘council like’, it’s scruffy, clinical, cold, screams millennial. When all I was asking for was a bit of advice.

A few months ago I asked for advice on my children not being included in something and the blame was put on my children that they must be so badly behaved and that parents of badly behaved children will never admit it. I never actually spoke about my children’s behaviour.

Has mumsnet just become a place to lay into others when they feel down or ask for some advice? It seems to have become a place for others to tear others down.

Or is it just the forums I’m on, it’s not just my posts I see it across loads.

Yes, I'm so sorry you had that experience. You may want to see my OP, Is this Mumsnet for me.
They're are plenty kind groups. Pls don't expose yourself to this stuff.
Ugly responders are only revealing their own limited, ugliness. Their reactions are no reflection on you

Those nasty, horrible comments are never actually about you.

They say everything about the person typing them and nothing about the person asking for help. The people behind those petty, cruel replies are usually deeply insecure. The internet is literally the only place they can get a tiny hit of power because, let’s be honest, they’re far too weak to ever say any of it to someone’s face in the real world. Hiding behind a screen is their only outlet for pretending to be big and brave.
