I've not been on here in a while but gosh are people quick to make others feel shit.

Whatever happened to being nice to people? Offering advice?

Just because you're seperated by a computer screen you think you can say what you want and it wont matter? I hope I never come face to face with any of those people.

I don't understand why you are flouncing? I thought you had some nice responses on the labrador and baby thread?

AIBU is more rough and reeady than other threads, imo it is v. different to the rest of mn. i have had some great support here, and i've tried to support others, but on AIBU it's a different story. If you don't like it don't go on it!

Personally i love a good bunfight Wink

HerHissyness · 17/05/2011 16:14

OP, YABU, sorry!

Your other thread is a bit light, and tbh in the greater scale of things, what do you care about what your friend says or doesn't say.. Laugh and dismiss, laugh and dismiss. It's really not worth you getting het up about.

MNers are in the main lovely. Sure they are blunt, but if anyone is out and out hostile, they get picked up on it and often reported.

I didn't really read your thread, because tbh it IS a bit meh, and there are other more pressing things to be concerning myself over if I'm honest.

AIBU is not the place for light threads it would seem, Chat would be a better place for it, but the issue is important to you so you posted it here... hey ho...

Stick with it, you'll see how lovely it is here. I'd say namechange, but tbh there is no reason for you to do so really, unless you want to re-invent yourself.

It's ok, we are all sensitive about some things, you are newly PG, you are allowed to be hormonal. Grin

carminaburana · 17/05/2011 16:18

Op; we're on 30 posts - this is where you come back and say something, ( timing is everthing) if you don't come back we'll all wander off and put the dinner on

Oooh good point carmina! Ideally OP you'll give some new piece of info that puts a totally different spin on things. Grin

carminaburana · 17/05/2011 16:22

Grin exactly!

MsToni · 17/05/2011 16:22

I can ACTUALLY tell someone to STFU? With or without a smiley?

I'm learning new things by the hour :)

TimeWasting · 17/05/2011 16:23

SGM, I'm awaiting further developments on that too.

OhYeahOhRight · 17/05/2011 16:24

Oh I read Jessica's post as 'take AnyFucker as an example of someone who offers good advice'.

I read your other thread and really I don't think people were mean. AIBU is a place to get people's opinions and I don't think you liked that fact that people weren't really agreeing with you.

If you simply want good parenting advice and support don't post on AIBU. And if you want to go then go but you don't need to make a song and dance about it for heavens sake.

AbsDuCroissant · 17/05/2011 16:34

Dear OP,

On the one hand, I hear you, I have seen some NASTINESS over on MN recently, it's all gone a bit insane. Again.

But ... I think you're a wee bit hormonal. Hide AIBU and instead float around chat and s&B, it will be good for your blood pressure.

SnuffleTurtle153 · 17/05/2011 16:34

I posted on AIBU recently and got some amazing advice and support! I think it depends on what you're looking for - if you're genuinely interested in finding out whether YABU and/or would like advice about how to solve something in your life then MN is fantastic. If you're looking for everyone to hold your hand and sing kum-ba-ya and agree with everything you say, you're probably in the wrong place. But then what would be the point in that anyway?

Oh bupcakes - I am not offended in the least by mumsnet or hormonal but I feel having a lie down, eating some chocolate and coming back tomorrow is a BRILLIANT idea for all of us.....

Everyone go - be happy and restful

elmofan · 17/05/2011 17:11

OP - don't flounce , have a break from MN for a few days then maybe come back under a new name . Congratulations on your pregnancy by the way Smile

southeastastra · 17/05/2011 17:14

mn still gives great advice where is counts imo (advice on children!)

it can be a bit squiffy with regard to other subjects!

southeastastra · 17/05/2011 17:16

oh bum i jhave walked into to something i shouldn't have

wordsonascreen · 17/05/2011 17:20

south..is it dog poo?

Takeresponsibility · 17/05/2011 17:21

Just go.

I recommend Ceebeebies as a replacement if you are going to get offended everytime someone speaks to you in a nasty wuff voice.

Definitely be off to nethuns, they are much naicer than we are

it's not the tickers that fuck me off tbh, it's the NM sense of humour

they are all so fucking perky

like children getting away with saying "bum" lololol xxxx

bleurgh

I'd sooner be eviscerated with a blunt spoon on MN any day

Pictish · 17/05/2011 17:27

Stay away from Bad Mother's Club as well OP. They're not as full on as MN, but the sarcasm is dripping.
