To emigrate here from Netmums?

I'm running over here after a great many disappointing years on Netmums.

It's an over-moderated, under-imaginative and purile site where threads are deleted left right and centre because the OP (Or some other busybody) goes crying to the mods to have it removed.

Debate is definately NOT encouraged.

You must tow the line and accept a very rigid general view of parenting to be a Netmum. If I felt any more restricted I'd be in a straight jacket!

And excuse the FUCK out of me for needing to swear every now and then.

Oh yeah, feeling much better now!

YANBU to defect from the gulag that is nethuns.

YABU to offer any form of apology for swearing here.

Now that the formalities have been completed, have a Wine, take a look around, help yourself to the popcorn and krispy kremes, and make a note that bumsex is de rigeur on Fridays but does not have to be confined to that particular day of the week.

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 21:15

Youarekidding it used to be a laugh but it seems like the site very definately wants only a certain conservative tpye of Mum.

From what I can tell it seems that there's a far wittier group of folks here who actually don't mind being challenged.

I guess I just got bored with it. Especialy after last night's mammoth censor session.

I've never bothered with the NM forums but their local info is so much better than MN. I like the fact that they send out weekly emails of what is on in my local area. My MN local isn't particularly local and has no content and hasn't in the 7 years I've been a MNetter.

can i be a bit thick what is a ticker Confused

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 21:20

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy I spat cheese all over the screen reading that- absolute LEGEND!!!

Butt-Sex Friday. I'm seriusly resisting making a note of that on the calendar to confuse the Hubs!!

devonshiredumpling · 18/08/2011 21:22

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 22:11

Ingles2 I was correcting my spelling. I'm just glad I was allowed to do that! You can't change names on MN. Not that I'm a name-slut of-course!

ChaoticAngeloftheUnderworld · 18/08/2011 22:35

Bum sex is popular on Fridays but can be done on other nights. Be careful if you do though as another poster tried and apparently errr....missed Confused

Btw nothing wrong with name changing Wink

2shoes · 18/08/2011 22:37

I bet our local meet ups are better

ChaoticAngeloftheUnderworld · 18/08/2011 22:37

Forgot to say welcome Grin

Sorry still suffering from cold and brain is in shut down mode.

BabeRuthless · 18/08/2011 22:45

I was on NM for a bit and always thought something was missing though I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Came over here and within 5 minutes had found a thread where one poster called someone a "cunt". Ah, there we go I thought and haven't looked back since Wink

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 18/08/2011 23:23

I seem to recall that the OP's dh missed the bunker and putted into the wrong hole.

Unfortunately, there was no caddy on hand to rectumify rectify his error and the OP was last seen clutching a MAP.

Is my above recollection accurate, Chaotic?

That particular post highlighted the unreliability of bumsex as a contraceptive, but I can't help thinking that the error may not have occurred had the OP not got pissed given way to impulse midweek.

Mnet:Its wholehearted, wholesome, argumentative, creative, pendantic and supportive. Quite a bit sweary but definitely not sparkly; occasionally shiny and always stimulating.
Have fun!

Interesting

Why today?

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 19/08/2011 00:09

Asmodeus - do I read you right that netmums were moderating a mammoth last night? Was it woolly, and can we keep it as a pet, please!

A hint - never, ever google dragon butter (unless you have the brain bleach handy) - though googling all the things MN tells you not to will be an education, I promise.

Oh - and I am from just outside Glasgow too - and we sometimes have meet-ups in the city. I believe that there was a suggestion that the next one should involve leaving the children at home in the care of any handy MIL/Old English Sheepdog (if they are allowed across the border)/feckless dh, to allow for the consumption of alchoholic beverages. Basically a piss-up! Grin You could honour us with your company, if you felt so inclined....

ChaoticAngeloftheUnderworld · 19/08/2011 00:09

Yes, izzy that's the one Grin

ChippingIn · 19/08/2011 00:20

Asmodeus - is that for 'so amused' or something else?

Asmodeus · 19/08/2011 06:54

Asmodeus is a reference to a sci-fi show (Babylon 5) Now I'm feeling quite exposed that I've revealed my she-geek status so early on!
