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?

Er - no, I wasn't trying to be clever - I thought maybe you were being funny in a ironic way. I was wrong.
You're not funny. At all.

AHahahahahaha!

Hahahahhahaha!

TheLadyEvenstar · 07/06/2011 23:22

stealth, thats how I get most frivolities Wink

Lol, they should put the OP as a warning at the beginning of every Xbox and PS3 game, and while you're waiting for twitter and facebook to load.

MorallyBankrupt · 08/06/2011 18:07

mercibucket did you actually just comment on spelling only to then write your rather than you're....

The mind boggles.

whatsallthehullaballoo · 08/06/2011 18:27

Poor you Imaponderer - is that what happened to you??

mummymeister · 08/06/2011 18:37

sorry ima p... but clearly you are having a laugh! ha ha good joke. very funny. you have wound up lots of people and they have told you how wrong you are. just found this after the 36 hours straight i have spent on mumsnet whilst neglecting dh, dc's chickens and a whole host of other animals. i am going to have a look at other threads you have been on in case you make a habit of this. perhaps todays article in the daily mail is right after all then!

superjobeespecs · 08/06/2011 18:43

i pop on for 10 mins here and there DH is away working DC is doing homework and i am on MN to check me post thank you :)

Hullygully · 08/06/2011 18:49

They are not surrendered and don't wear nice dresses and then they wonder why their husbands go off with their secretaries.

whoever it was that has noticed that all the teachers seem half-cut, is spending waaaay too much time on here....not saying you're wrong mind.

jasper · 08/06/2011 19:04

OP, you have a point Wink

FlubbaBubba · 08/06/2011 19:16

pmsl reality :o

TBH, if my DH paid me more attention (sob sob! :o) I would have more conversations with him and less time to spend being nosey giving much sought-after advice and help Wink

duchesse · 08/06/2011 19:17

God they're really crawling out of the woodwork tonight.

No, you silly, OP, MN is my excuse for neglecting my DC and DH. I'm sure you're right that more frilly pinnies and dinner on the table on the dot of 6pm would bring even more harmony to my life.

PS: Have you heard of self-employment where you actually work from home? You know, earn money being on the computer? Some of us do, you know.

janelikesjam · 08/06/2011 19:29

OP has a point. God knows why the angry responses ... sometimes Mumsnet does seem to be a displacement activity. I only visit occasionally though, lol!

Primalscream · 08/06/2011 19:37

The angry responses are what's called - "hitting a nerve'

The op is right and they know it.

gapants · 08/06/2011 19:38

primal no but you were quick to bloody judge.

sorry to hear about your abusive ex, emmafrost

gapants · 08/06/2011 19:41

janelikesjam lol lol Hmm

Dh is away for two nights, toddler is in bed, house is stinking pit clean.

What's the problem?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 08/06/2011 19:41

Can you repeat that please Op because all I heard was "I'm a twat, I'm a twat, I'm a twat. I am a Twat."

Was that what you meant to say?

OracleInaCoracle · 08/06/2011 19:42

primal, really not. sorry to burst your bubble though Smile

Lizzylou · 08/06/2011 19:45

And you posted this on MN, how very ironic. Hope your OH is not feeling neglected whilst you shitstir.

My OH is off golfing, kids are in bed and I am on MN. When DH is home I will make sure to welcome him with a sandwich beautifully presented on a doily (sp) and a glass of cold beer, I will be wearing nowt but an apron.

Because he's worth it.
