Disclaimer: This is NOT a netmums bashing thread. Each to their own and all that, BUT...

I wish, I wish, I wish that several years ago I hadn't looked at netmums and subsequently dismissed "parenting" websites as dull, trite places with earnest mums discussing potty training and the advantages of huggies over pampers.

I was completely put off and only strayed onto MN about a year ago (namechanged a bit while I made an arse of myself at the beginning).

If only I'd got confused and typed MN instead.

The vibe is certainly different here. At least if you hide all topics related to actually having babies and children. Suits me, anyway.

MardyBra · 31/12/2010 00:53

Grin at brown nose.

Seriously though, I could surely have been royalty by now if I'd joined earlier...

never been on netmums,whats the beef there

BitOfFun · 31/12/2010 00:57

There are no royalty- just posters who do less housework or who aren't very focussed on their jobs.

Housework? Jobs?

MardyBra · 31/12/2010 01:00

It's just a different "culture" and demographic. No swearing, less confrontation lively debate, less feisty. You'd last about five mins, scottishmummy.

One of those things that tells everyone how old your baba is, or how long you've been breastfeeding, or when your anniversary is, or when your holiday is, or when anyone will actually care...

Sorry sorry, not a NM bashing thread.

scottishmummy · 31/12/2010 01:20
