to expect MN to provide us vulgar people with a forum of our own?

[PushedToTheEdge]

Afterall, MNEtters have access to a forum in which to discuss sexual matter without repressed spinsters turning up and bleating that how she was bought up to believe only common people talk about sex.

I'm sure that there are people out there who would like to know what kind of salaries they could expect to command should they decide to do an MBA?

Maybe some graduate would like an idea as to what salary he can expect in Banking compared to Retail?

If we had a forum of our own then people on benefits or on low incomes or those who are Leftward Challenged won't be confronted with posts that 'rubs their noses in it'.

Sadly, I don't think that MNHQ will be taking up my idea any time soon.

I agree OP. But then I have already been accused of being obsessed about money

Aaaah.

Do you mean a topic?

Ask MNHQ - they like suggestions.

No not really another topic! There are too many as it is.

Not a topic but a forum of our own. Apparently one can freely post about sex, fetishes, lesbians and so on without being tagged as obsessive. I just want to claim a similar home for us money obsessed posters

Or maybe we should just derail any thread in chat or AIBU with discussions about money. You know AIBU to not invite children to my wedding? Reply: Well before we can answer that we need to know how much you and your DH earns so that we can judge whether you can indeed afford to increase the number of guests at your wedding and pay for children's entertainment.

but you already have one, it's called aibu

The internet is large, i'm sure there is already a forum like that, quite what you think it has to do with parents supporting other -parents i've no idea.

South - If AIBU was a consumer product the Trading Standings Officer would be around like a shot because of the misleading description.

AIBU is not exactly a forum populated with people who wants to read posts from people discussing whether to accept the £40k pa job or the £30k offer that has an employee share bonus scheme that might work out better in the long term

I don't know what whinging about old people on the buses got to do with supporting other parents either

Whereas talking about shoes off or shoes on is supporting parents

Things that have nothing to do with parents supproting one another...

• baking cakes
• killing rats
• choosing a pair of jeans
• having anal sex
• squeezing spots...

A fairly average day on Mumsnet.

Well, I for one will now find it easier to tell old gents to feck off now that I know I have the support of my fellow MN parents.

Not one of those thread starters wanted their topic of choice given it's very own forum either.

can it have a really vulgar title like 'Money - How to Make it'?

Or 2 possibilities - Money How to Make It?
And then Money How to Spend It

Just de-rail every thread by posting: How much?

Then get yer mates to have a guess: I say a fiver

No, ten quid

your kidding (sic)

etc

Or how about jumping into every relationship thread and tell the people there that they are vulgar for talking about sex and how I was brought up not to discuss such a personal matter with strangers on the Internet?

Good idea. People could go there and ask if it was ok to ask for money as a wedding gift and get to hear the answer they want instead of the truth.

..... i think money for a wedding gift is ok.....

Look, um, I'm not quite sure how to explain this to you but: quite a lot of people do want to talk about sex and this is one of those sites where it quite logically gets discussed, being as it's all part of being a parent/having relationships/marriage. If you were brought up not to discuss it (and I realise this might be quite a radical suggestion): don't. But you have no cause at all to prevent other people discussing it if they jolly well want to.

And I am a prude!

ps There are zillions of forums that talk about money. Go join one. Hell, join several. Start one, even.

see we are vulgar....hey ho

ps forgot to point out there are four exclusively financial topics on Mumsnet if you can't bear to leave this wonderful place. Why not go post there?

Oh wait, I've just realised. You don't actually want to talk about money.

Carry on then.
