You know the one i mean?!! net mums

I like to have a little flick through the convos every so often but they are getting worse...so far this week we have had..

a row over that MP fella holding up formula milk on TV

and someone not wanting to start a row over a bottle warming thingy in boots.. but actually started a huge row over bottle vs the breast

AND People actually making complaints to the BBC over the MP fella! Do these people have nothing better to bloody do?!! i seriously dont get how you can be offended over seeing a formula box or a bottle!!!

It used to be good now its full of jumped up arseholes who try to bypass swear filters with to many bloody "!""$@@E££1's.. now i am fully turned mumsnetter.. fuck em i say!

TheSugarPlumFairy · 29/11/2010 22:25

FunnysInTheGarden · 29/11/2010 22:26

LowLevelWhingeing · 29/11/2010 22:27

what is bf/ff?

DanceInTheDark · 29/11/2010 22:38

You need a better nickname if you are sticking around though.
IMO anyway.

HairyMclary1979 · 29/11/2010 22:44

breastfeeding and formular feeding mummie

HairyMclary1979 · 29/11/2010 22:46

it good to see i'm not the only one fed up of the shit on there, it's a more open feel over here, you get told honestly to fuck off if your talking crap

SantasNutellaFairy · 29/11/2010 22:55

yep- NMers have frequently come over here and called us all itches or beachesGrin

There is a frankness to MN that feels friendly I think. It can come across as a bit abrupt, but we call a spade a spade here although whether it is a sofa/ a couch/ a settee is up for debate!Grin

HairyMclary1979 · 29/11/2010 22:57

it's great to be able to swear as well although i think i've be supressed on NM and it's all coming out now.

backwardpossom · 29/11/2010 23:01

YABU for even going over to the dark side and reading it in the first place Grin

HairyMclary1979 · 29/11/2010 23:05

in all fairness i didn't even know about this place, it was only when it was mentioned on the other forum that i realised you guys existed,

stickylittlefingers · 29/11/2010 23:11

I only found mumsnet because I wasn't very good at googling netmums. So I can't feel superior really (I would try again but the tickers sound complicated)

MerrilyDefective · 29/11/2010 23:21

The shite site that cannot be named.

MrsRhettButler · 29/11/2010 23:33

i am eternally grateful that i accidentally managed to reverse the words 'net' and 'mum' Grin

i don't like to think what may have happened had i not......

well anyhoo, i googled something about the net and mums and a thread from here popped up... 'my in laws are literally trying to kill my son' or something to that effect... i forget now....

anyway, a whole new world of bunfights opened before my eyes and i have never looked back!

natandchris10 · 30/11/2010 11:05

okay so im sticking around... mission is to find a better screen name then x i am glad everyone is in agreement x

TheSleepFairy · 30/11/2010 11:25

nat you could be IHateNetMums or NetMumsIsShite ?

santasbluebaubles · 30/11/2010 12:40

I accidently wandered onto Netmums the other day. I read a post written entirely in text speak. It was so awful I was tempted to copy and paste it over here and invite everyone to take the piss. I didn't though because I'm not really that mean!!

FellatioNelson · 30/11/2010 12:43

I don't know about NetMums, but that all sounds like standard MN fare to me.
