To say goodbye to Mumsnet?

[LoveTheWayYouLie]

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.

Ruder than simply flouncing is posting about a flounce and then just disappearing. It's rude IMO. Proper flouncing requires some effort. None from you so far.

Pictish what is Bad Mother's Club. Sounds like my cup of tea. I love dripping.

It's a much smaller parenting forum. It used to be really big, but the editor brought in subscriptions and as a result, a lot of people stopped bothering with it.

It's still a great site though.

Bollocks - hold on.

I'm saying goodbye now, till the weekend, so if you see me here, tell me to go away. I'm self-employed and have bookwork I should be doing.

Good luck on staying away.

YANBU at all.

I'm even debating going back to Nethuns, at least it's lighthearted on there!

and lightbrained

Try Baby&Bump, OP. You aren't allowed to be mean on there. And you have to conclude every post with "each to their own, hun. You know your bubs best. Hugz xxxx".

I think you'd like it. Personally I found it akin to being slowly eaten by a giant lavender coloured marshmallow of misplaced tolerance but each to their own hun.

...oh ofcourse - because anyother site other than Mumsnet is just sooooo rubbish and full of nonsensical earth mothers?

I don't think the OP was much interested in whether or not she was being unreasonable to leave. I think she may have left.

NM isn't full of earth mothers. It's full of flatheaded punters who giggle with their fingers.

MN is, comparatively, full of earth mothers. But we can ignore them.

Oh, there are lots of fabulous other sites. I'm baffled why people bother with this one when they dislike it. Or feel the need to announce their departure.

Blah blah, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Baby&bump banned all its earth mothers for being disruptive about cloth nappies.

:o a spider.

That made me laugh, or lol as the kids would say

at

bit harsh

OP is 20, 3 months preg and her 'friend' has dissed her dog. Grrrrrr.

I would be hopping mad, OP

...but, since mn is a great resource for the pregnant (and just about everyone else) I would

1. leave it for a week (till I had calmed down a bit)
2. name change and
3. never, ever post in AIBU if I wanted a reasonable and balanced debate

hope this helps

There is proper support when it is needed and your thread on AIBU wasn't where it was needed imo.

MN is like marmite - you either like it or you don't. There are other parenting forums which you may feel better in. I like the honesty you get here even if it someone telling you to fuck off

And fgs stay away from the doghouse- it makes this place look like Mother Teresa chatting to the Dalai Lama.

Yes, just don't start a post on AIBU if you are in any way likely to get upset (justifiably or unjustifiably) about what people say. Just don't do it. MN is wonderfully supportive, IME, but that's not the remit of AIBU

Haven't read all three pages but - firstly - what is 'flouncers corner'? Is it real?

And secondly I don't understand why people take the time to go onto mumsnet, log in and start a thread, which they presumably then follow and read, just to say they're leaving . Why not just do it?

LeQueen strangely enough I am also more interested in your new hair colour - please share

Right, have read the thread in question. The answers you got were pretty balanced IMO
