AIBU to think that IF MNers paid attention to their OHs, rather than

[Imaponderer]

incessantly posting in a pretend world that they might be able to maintain realtionships; not have, social issues communicating with family and friends, dysfunctional children and ultimately partners who didn't look elsewhere?

Nah, I'm better off here chatting to intellectual folk like you than boring old DH, thanks. And I can't talk to the DCs, they're down the mine earning a living.

Barry? Is that you?

Yanbu - Some posters really are married to Mumsnet

I am now imagining what it would be like if I was married to MN.

How much is MN worth?
Do you get an extra discount at the supermarket?

I'll have you know i can read to the kids, feed them, bath them, give manshape a blow job and run the duster round of an evening an still make time for MN.

No complaints from this household - it's called multitasking

TBH if I had intense interaction with DH every evening, we would be divorced by now. Thank GOD for MN.

YANBU. Totally agree. Great post Bessimo.

But deemented if you're doing them all at the same time you're not giving 100% to the blowjob

I never go on MN and my life is totally perfect. Now excuse me whilst I neck some valium, the edges are getting a littke too sharp again Better now!

dee, do you get new shoes out of the blowjob?

WTF is going on on MN ATM?. It's like the Twilight Zone just lately.

My ex used to say that mnetters were "marriage wrecking, lesbians who sit around in their dressing gowns all day when they should be interacting with their kids". Would you like his email address? Think you two would get on famously.

Well DH is at work and DS is asleep, so i'll get off mumsnet and sit in my box where I belong.

DH is at work. It's only 4:30 here. My DS is alternating between his crayons, his cars, and singing Beatles tunes to the dog. We played outside in 102 degree heat this afternoon (Fahrenheit obviously), read three chapters of Mr Popper's Penguins, watched a few vintage Pink Panther cartoons, and baked muffins. Should I be down on the floor playing cars with him? Perish the thought! Oh, and dinner (bean and spinach burgers and made-from-organic-potatoes homemade oven chips, if you're curious) is in the oven.

I don't have many mother friends who live nearby and the ones I do have are often to busy to chat as much as we'd all like. Mumsnet is a Godsend for me.

Maybe you're just not very good at multi-tasking, dear?

X-posts. I have to go to my part-time work this evening but I'm pretty sure I can fit in a beej if I must .

Lol at 'my ex used to say'
Or are you being humorous? I'm never sure.

You're right. Now, where's my pinny?

Sadly not Lissie.

Though i might if i swallow.

Hmmm.... Shooooooeeeees.....

I don't understand your post primal scream.

The thread is about relationships breaking down due to too much m'netting -
You said 'my 'ex' used to say ...'

With me?

@BeerTricksPotter

My DP is currently interacting with some Pretend World Space Twonkery ont' TV ... He'd be most put out if I got all comunicative on his arse at this time of night, likewise blissfully unconcious DCs ...

Jog on, kitten, YAB a twat.

I thought half term was over ?

Let me see - DH and I are sitting in the same room, working/MNing/dealing with email. Disfunctional? Possibly, but we have nothing on teenagers with nothing better to do than attempt to wind up MNers by posting a silly OP and then running away - it's the modern equivalent of playing 'knock and run away', I guess - with less healthy exercise involved.

Lissie? Really? Shoes? I may have to reconsider...

No, not "with you" because you sound like a twat .

My ex attacked me in front of my kids, that is why he is my ex. With me?

You didn't mention that in your 1st post did you - I'm not a mind reader.

No, you were just trying to be clever weren't you? Now jog on there's a dear.
