backstory:
my sister gave me her NHS pregnancy book, and I have been studying it intently (because I want to be fully informed when I finally conceive)
Last night, he was watching the football and I was annoying him every five seconds with comments from the book. Grin

anyway, got to a blue block of text in the Ante-natal section.
it said "think about joining NetMums etc etc etc and the website "
I pointed it out to DH, saying that that was appalling and dreadful that they would suggest such a thing. Shock

he said to me, "that's what you are though, isn't it? netmums?"

my face --> ShockShock

I explained patiently that we are not NetMums we are MumsNet and he didn't understand! he reiterated that we are a bunch of mums on the net, therefore we are NetMums.

I told him that I would get your opinions on this and report back.

So, AIBU - Nest of Vipers, right?

Just goes to prove OP that you obviously have an higher IQ than your DH, seeing as he doesn't know the difference WinkGrin

nickelbabe · 02/03/2011 13:11

that thread has the word "bitchiness" on it Shock

I thought they weren't allowed and had to say "itchiness"?

maybe the worm has turned...... I might join and start a thread about Prince Alberts on babies or something...

nickelbabe · 02/03/2011 13:32

nah, they're allowed bitchiness, but they're not allowed arse or bollocks etc

haven't tried WTF, but i bet that would be too, because it's implying swearing

stiflersmom · 02/03/2011 13:40

there's an editor's note (someone called Leanne) on one of the posts, it says "do not try to bypass the swear filter"

Curiosity killed the cat... googled dragonbutter - wonder if the person making the dragon butter shea nut handcream has heard of the urban dictionary Grin

TryingVeryHard · 02/03/2011 14:05

That says it all - NM is worse for morning sickness than dragonbutter! Hats off to you kateepie2 Grin
