AIBU to feel sorry for the people who spend half their lives on mumsnet?

[destinationzero]

I lurk a bit at work ( prenteding to be busy, saves me making the tea ) and have started the odd thread here and there seeking advice, BuT my god I feel sorry for the posters who are on here day in day out for hours.
I know some people are socially isolated and I'm sure they get a lot from mumsnet, but it is rather sad when it becomes your main source of adult interaction, and by choice for many I imagin. I know mumsnet has one million members, but it's always the same names coming up in active conversations. These forums should be a place where you drop into now and then, not somewhere you rely on for friendship.

AIBU ?

MN too has enhanced my life, I do love it, but just like chocolate, wine, exercise, sex, TV, reading, cakes, socialising and all the other good things in life some people over do it.

And it does affect those around you as does anything in excess. Of course it isn't impeding everyones parenting. This thread is about people on MN all day everyday not every mner.

Sue that should so be your new NN.

Kinda looks rude actually..... :o

I don't think she's friends with Jesus, lissielou. He would take A Dim View, I'm sure.

Slick like a greased walrus.

lissielou you took the words right out of my mouth twice

Beautiful, that, wasn't it, Sarah?

That looks like I lick walruses. I do not. They are too tusky. So I sent them back.

I've just noticed my first post on this thread was at 12.35.
So, theoretically sp. I've been here for half the day.
I'm proud to be the saddest bastard on this thread.
I'm not in any quiche, though I've posted on the wolefs thread a couple of times.
But I am a lone wolef at heart, I prowl around all the threads and put in my words of wisdom here and there.

Stunning. I feel unworthy even repeating it.

seriously lissie if you can't accept for some people (not you before you have a fit) but for some people being on the internet ALL day isnt doing themselves or their families any favours then you are deluded.

whatever gets you through the day innit

None of your business though, innit.

Innit though.

Oh dear, my innit wasn't a pisstake innit, Ursula.

Tralalala, no one's disputing that being on the Internet all day every day can be bad for one's health. But I don't think you're in any position to say who that is. As LeBof said, it may look like she's been on all day but she hasn't. It may look like I've been on all day. I haven't. As Sue said, I log on on my iPhone, check TIO and sometimes Active and maybe post a reply. I'm a quick reader. It doesnt take me all day. Your audacity astounds me.

innit though

Saycool , BOF, I have a friend inb jesus.

Trlalala, the point is, you are making assumptions. You are assuming that their home life suffers as a result of mning. You can't possibly know.

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam. But want will have to be His master, cos I am Mnetting. Innit.

Well, jesus he knows me. And he knows I'm right.

Innit.

I tried to talk to Jesus but he was MNing innit

S'truth though Sue. Innit.

Anyway, I don't neglect the DDs. They're teenagers, all they want is their laptops and a regular supply of pizza slid under their bedroom doors.

Jesus loves me. Oh yes, he does. Cos the Bible tells me so.

And, secure in that knowledge, I am happily wasting my life talking to this shower of bastards. Innit.

Jesus said 'suffer little children to come unto me'. Us Bjullying Bjtches are just helping them along. Innit.

Blessed are the MNers
