For a research project & IABU.

Just because ....

AIBU / Bereavement and sometimes style and beauty and I lurk in chat and adult fiction and sometimes have a peep at the feminist board xx

IFoundMyIdenticalHandTwin · 10/05/2011 16:31

I was on a different forum and someone copied a link from here that was pretty entertaining, so I thought I would take a little peek for myself.

Mostly AIBU an Chat, for mere lurking purposes usually.

Desperation on how to get an impossibly naughty/badly behaved kid to behave....

I am all over the shop me!!!

FabbyChic · 10/05/2011 16:48

I joined to answer eBay questions, I found AIBU, then chat, then relationships I post equally on all three.

ElectricSoftParade · 10/05/2011 16:52

I used another site (well known confectionary) and was getting a bit bored so had a scout about and found this one.

I lurk mostly on Chat/AIBU/Feminist/S&B.

IgnoringTheChildren · 10/05/2011 16:59

Someone posted a link to this thread:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1179929-To-Have-Doubts-About-Bumsex-Plus
on a forum my husband is on, he forwarded the link to me (because he found it amusing and definitely NOT as a hint!)

I've had a small addiction to AIBU since then. I know I should probably explore other areas of MN too but I just don't have the time... Grin

MeRightYouWrongMeBigYouSmall · 10/05/2011 17:07

I took a peek because one of my semi-friends told me it was a vile website full of vile people etc etc....

I joined, liked what I saw so stayed :)

I have found answers to most of my problems/issues/parenting queries by searching older threads however I do like to start the odd "pointless" thread in chat.

I am however contemplating starting a thread in relationships, I'm still mulling it over.....

southeastastra · 10/05/2011 17:09

help and advice for my (then 5) year old son

Birdsgottafly · 10/05/2011 17:11

I found it doing research, lurked for over a year, then couldn't help myself, i had to post.

blindmelon · 10/05/2011 17:13

I was googling baby names while pregnant with DD2 and stumbled across the wealth of weird and wonderful names (and people willing to discuss them endlessly!) that is the Baby Names topic.

I then ventured into Parenting and Breastfeeding, and after I solved all my parenting dilemmas discovered AIBU, where I usually lurk for the entertainment value!

RoyalWelsh · 10/05/2011 17:51

I was googling something primary school related and it brought up a thread. I read it, got sucked in and have been here ever since! I mainly lurk on chat, but have posted a few times and can say that if you feel you need them, Mumsnet always comes up trumps

travellingwilbury · 10/05/2011 17:54

I came on here after I heard someone moaning about how bitchy and full of vipers it was . Was pleased with what I found .

I am mostly to be found in Bereavement , I am cheerier than that sounds .

southofthethames · 10/05/2011 17:58

OP - to get info/advice about schools, party ideas, but then one gets distracted by titles of AIBU, so you end up getting roped into AIBU!

pink4ever · 10/05/2011 18:15

First came on here a few years ago.Posted mainly on the miscarriage/pregnancy loss threads(a wealth of experience sadly).Since rejoining last year I can be found mainly on s&b(I am tethers nemesisGrin),aibu(love a bunfight),miscarriage and chat(Whats for dinner???-thats me!).

LouMacca · 10/05/2011 19:02

I saw article about Mumsnet in the paper and came to check it out.

Put my first post on AIBU - wow was that a mistake!!

Mainly found in AIBU (although I NEVER start a post there anymore!), Baby names, Chat and Style & Beauty.
