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

It’s probably a bot. It reads like it.

Not sure if you are referring to me, but I genuinely wasn't out for a fight. I just didn't understand why the OP was sharing it here - it didn't occur to me that anyone would consider it funny or original, as it's the kind of thread that we see quite often on MN.

The OP has since clarified that she shared it because she did think it was funny. Fair enough. Hopefully others will enjoy it as well.

Well you did come across as quite patronising.

But at the same time OP should have realised that you can’t start a thread on here without people being unpleasant and shitting on you, so… 🤷‍♀️.

That's my niece, she's such a lovely girl and an astounding mother. Her parents (my sister and her tool of a husband) have done nothing to help her look after her child. Her boyfriend has a stable job supplying groceries to the local community and has really come along in leaps and bounds after serving his time in gaol for GBH or murder or something, I don't remember the details, but they refuse to give him a chance.

There are a lot of trolls but I’m sure you realise that OP.

Kinda remember why I deleted my old account years ago. Does nobody just just read to pass the time or whatever anymore? I’ll go read classics that used to be funny. As I said, just don’t read it if it has you frothing 😉. Might read the expectations bs reality thread again that was good….

Are you equally chilled about “my staff” scrolling whilst at work @Preworkouttingle ?

Sorry was working. Not the truck drivers, no, it’s frowned on. I was in an hour early if they’re in early they can do what they want. It’s pretty quiet at the moment if they’re are having a browse nobody is that bothered. Pre Christmas lull right now type of stuff we move is unusual so we have peaks and troughs. Clerk is looking for holidays right now if they’re phone rings she’ll get it. Everyone is out on the road, we’re only here in case something happens and we’ve done everything for today now it’s just monitoring and waiting for calls. Nobody expects humans to sit still and stare at the wall 🤷‍♀️

I’m totally baffled at the level of bitterness and aggression on here nowadays not gonna lie…a lot of angry people for what seems to be no reason?

The comment 'calm down' is so patronising and rude. It's quite misogynistic. It's basically saying 'stop being so hysterical woman!'

I don't see @MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack being hyper or angry. They seem calm to me.

Don't interpret my posts for your own agenda. Misogynistic my arse, could be a man or a woman posting none of us know still remains the same arguing with the OP and hammering home a point again and again that the OP has defends. Usual MN behaviour that is so very tedious but entirely predictable, then of course the pile on 😴

It's basically saying 'stop being so hysterical woman!' Quite ironic given the name of the poster 😂

It’s either rage bait or they’ve put it there themselves (through bots etc) to generate traffic

It’s too well written for someone with that little self awareness.

Some of the replies on here are unhinged, a few of you need to really chill the fuck out.
It's just a light hearted thread, the OP didn't ask to be grilled about her job or justify posting on here.

Op fwiw I think it was probably a wind up post, or I hope it is anyway!

Edited

I agree. The reactions to this have been way OTT. Like everyone's pissed and looking for a fight or summat!
