This Has To Be a Wind Up? Netmums come on…

This is a genuine thread on Netmums. I went over out of curiosity and, well, this blew my mind!

That has to either be a reverse (and its one of the parents posting) or ragebait. Surely. I mean can someone be this stupid? (And yes I know the answer to that). Assuming its real, I assume she doesn't work or anything so she would get some land if she moved out!!

Surprisedtbh · 14/10/2026 07:32

Did you post on netmums about it?

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 14/10/2026 07:34

Looks like rage bait to me.

I didn't realise that Netmums still existed tbh.

Slslo · 14/10/2026 07:34

There’s absolutely bonkers, wind up, ridiculous threads on both sites. Netmums doesn’t have the monopoly on that.

I’d love to pulled this with my mum back in the day. I’d still be on crutches 😂

It must be a reverse.

I’m not a member I was nosing online at work (none of my staff in yet I was bored) it came up on Google under Mumsnet so I clicked. I was not disappointed.

I'm not entirely sure what the point is of taking obvious rage bait from one site and putting it on another?

What are you hoping to get from this thread, OP?

Bit weird isn’t it

Apparently to upset you. It’s just chat about another website it’s not that deep.

It hasn't upset me.

I just don't see the point of taking what looks like fabricated rage bait from one site and posting it on another site.

Don't we already have enough fabricated rage bait of our own?

It’s clearly a wind up and a good one. Lighten up for christs sake! It’s the internet you don’t have to take it so seriously it’s words on a screen you can ignore/turn off if it bothers you.

Thank you, I am aware that I can ignore it, but I'm also free to comment on this thread if I wish. Even if you don't like my comments. It's the Internet...words on a screen that you can ignore if they bother you.

I don't think it is even a very good wind-up at all. Far too obvious and not very interesting.

Did you write it or something?

FucksakeLavender · 14/10/2026 07:59

"As of January 2026"?

Confused

Exactly. Nothing to note. There's bonkers threads here too

OneHazelBird · 14/10/2026 08:03

It’s a good job she didn’t post on here else she would have got her arse handed to her.

I know people who prefer netmums as mumsnet can be bitchy but that poster needs a bit of a kick up the bum it seems.

Well you didn't think it was a wind up, did you?

Summerishere123 · 14/10/2026 08:06

I actually wouldn't be surprised either way. I do remember reading a thread on here once from a young girl who was pregnant at 17 asking if she was still allowed to use the oven! It made me so sad to think that she had so little life experience and was going to be raising another life!

Wow you have quite the imagination. No. I’m a transport manager I’m rather busy for that as I said, browsing waiting for my staff to sign in and thought it was funny. My sincerest apologies for ruining your morning with something that made me laugh. I shall retreat back and find something dramatic/scary/upsetting to post about 😂

That's no different to some of the (nonsense) threads I read on here to be honest.

You haven't ruined my morning. I was simply struggling to understand what you hoped to get from posting this thread here, because I didn't see anything very original or interesting about that rather obvious wind-up post on another site. We have plenty of similar wind-ups right here.

You've clarified now that you posted it because you found it funny. Fair enough. We are all entitled to our own sense of humour. Hopefully some other posters will find it funny too.

So you're reading Netmums and then creating a thread on Mumsnet and then reading through posts and replying to them.....whilst you're at work?
You're posting inane bollocks like this whilst you're being paid to do your job?
Wow. Wish I knew your boss.

The irony 😂

Ineversaidthatactually · 14/10/2026 08:17

How about you go and say "Good morning how are you?" to your staff whilst they sign in, instead of disingaging from them and reading shit on your phone whilst they sign in.
