they then go on to have more children??

expecting to be flamed but read stuff on here all the time ie "eldest 2 are driving me mad, youngest being so clingy and I'm pg with dc 4"

And other similar stuff, why do it if it's so terrible?? I'm not saying don't have a moan now and again, I have 2 and have found it so exceptionally stressful and exhausting I would never have another....

but tbh some people just seem to keep producing then being all martyrish about it, fwiw I think to have more than 3 you need to be an exceptional person with a high level of stress tolerance....and a fair amount of money.

I am very sorry that I mentioned your area of work. I thought you had mentioned it. I didnt realise you had been outed.

I wouldnt worry too much about it though. But get the thread deleted if you want to.

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 05/12/2011 12:45

There was no witch hunt btw.
You are over reacting.

People do not agree with you. They think you are out of order but no one is turning up at your door with a pitch fork.

minxofmoravia · 05/12/2011 12:47

A have alluded to it but not out right said it. Have done so in the distant past but then realised I made a mistake doing so and now try to be more discreet.

FWIW I do take on board the comments about people only moaning/ventilating when they have a bad day so maybe you get a skewed viewpoint. I expect I do the same!

Have reported the posts, how do I go about getting it deleted?

Moominsarescary · 05/12/2011 12:49

Hardly outed if you've written about your job before on other threads. Why did you not name change in that case

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 05/12/2011 12:51

if you report your post you can ask for the whole thing to be deleted. it might take a little while but they will do it for you.
I wouldnt worry too much about it though I understand why you want it gone.

probably should have done but was hoping if I didn't mention it again I wouldn't get "searched".....I would never ever do that, I just don't think it's fair. I made my profile invisible and did name change a while ago then back again.

Didn't write about it much, once on a feminism thread about deliberate self harm where I was massively insulted by one poster but supported by others and a couple of times when i advised posters about how to get an autism/ADHD assessment done and what to do if they weren't happy with the process/outcome.

minxofmoravia · 05/12/2011 12:58

sarasidle can you give it a rest..please?

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 05/12/2011 13:00

Generally I dont think its a problem but it will become one on threads like these I am afraid.
People are bound to make the connection between what you do and how you feel about this subject. Even if you feel you are not connecting the two things.

Your area of work is a sensitive one. People get upset.

I only comment very generally in my area of work and never in regard to any families I work with.

Unless I say 'saw the most yummy baby ever today' or something equally soppy.

Think I will start again with a totally unrelated name...I really really didn't expect to get searched and have my profession put out there. Only because I would never do it, even if I felt v strongly about something.

Moominsarescary · 05/12/2011 13:09

The only thing this thread has shown me is that some people moan and find it hard to cope even if they have one or two children, so I still think uabu

Moominsarescary · 05/12/2011 13:10

Yabu even, stupid phone

Oh please!! You even said further up thread to lockets, to enjoy her search!

Many people state their profession here on mumsnet.... Teachers,solicitors,medical peopleetc etc.... Your post is the only time I've seen someone slag off their clients.

minxofmoravia · 05/12/2011 13:13

I know lockets I think I may leave tbh not even just name change as it's really done my head in. Am also getting increasingly frustrated by MNHQ not deleting this!
