There are so many ridiculous threads about stupid stuff that i wonder where all the people with the real problem go for help. Who cares what people put on FB as long as it doesn't affect you, who cares if you want a different meal to the rest of your family, get a life and get over it there are so many people with worse problems not moaning about them just getting on with it

OP posts:

DontForgetTheLightAlesLawrence · 13/04/2012 22:07

Goes to get a life.

Thanks, I feel liberated now!

Try commas,,,, they're good

hathorinareddress69 · 13/04/2012 22:08

If it doesn't matter, why are you even taking it under your notice and even posting here?

The rest of the internet is over there --->

FunnysInLaJardin · 13/04/2012 22:09

shoos, of course. AND SHOOS and makeup and other faffy stuff and children and relationships and having a baby and being pregnant and stuff and mineral makeup and Decleor and bastard husbands and breastfeeding and bottle feeding and pink lipstick for the spring and 7/8 length trousers and the new mn scarf and CC and CIO and child birth and all that other stuff, off and work. It's all bollocks. And Mother/Baby Parking spaces and SN children and gifted children and what are we having for dinner/feeding our DC.
Why oh why do we talk about it???????????????????????????????

TheSinglePringle · 13/04/2012 22:09

If I had a life I wouldnt be here Grin

LRDtheFeministDragon · 13/04/2012 22:09

Shit, I forgot we were a crack team of highly-trained problem solvers with ninja powers for a moment there and talked about books and the Octonauts. Won't do it again OP!

You do know when you call 999, it doesn't reply 'which service do you require, Police, Fire, or Mumsnet for people with real problems?'

ilovesooty · 13/04/2012 22:10

Try commas,,,, they're good

Grin ...and full stops.

YY Sooty.

OP, do fuck off and get a life, there's a love.

Marilyn1980 · 13/04/2012 22:12

Are numbers not allowed? Fuck it, another MN faux pas, I just lack imagination.

p.s. Marilyn is not my name, does that make it better?

OP do you have something important you would like to discuss?

Bambino81 · 13/04/2012 22:13

I love the mix of theads on here, light reading and some a bit more heavy.

It's a nice "5 min break on MN" get away place :)

PurpleRomanesco · 13/04/2012 22:13

Where does one go to get a life? Do they have package deals or custom made?

Are they pricey?

MissFaversham · 13/04/2012 22:14

Chinks glasses with Belly and set to talk a load of shite about very serious matters only Grin

Birdsgottafly · 13/04/2012 22:14

OP i don't think that you get the point of MN, it's peer support. That's why there is a disclaimer saying that this isn't professional/qualified advice.

guffaw · 13/04/2012 22:16

to be fair, I've learned more about life from mumsnet than I have in rl, plus mumsnet makes me larf

plus3 · 13/04/2012 22:17

What s the problem with a number in your name?.. (asking for obvious reason...)

AmazingBouncingFerret · 13/04/2012 22:17

Gah.

Get over it OP.

PurpleRomanesco · 13/04/2012 22:17

Ok, Let's do this your way Linzi.

What do you want to discuss, What makes you tick?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 13/04/2012 22:17

OP - unless you only ever converse about serious topics and shun any mention of anything trivial or lighthearted, them you are being very unreasonable. But I am absolutely sire that you talk about all sorts of things - even trivial matters - in real life.

Mumsnet is the internet equivalent of a coffee shop or pub, or of many social gatherings. You.wouldn't go into somewhere like that and expect to find only serious discussion of weighty topics, or complain if some people were talking about trivialities, would you? So why do it here?

ledkr · 13/04/2012 22:18

op can you make some suggestions for some real problems we can all chat about then? Hmm?

CocoPopsAddict · 13/04/2012 22:25

People can write about what they like on here. As you would say, get a life and get over it.

By the way, your post was hardly meaningful.

Tee2072 · 13/04/2012 22:26

Hath, I thought the rest of the 'net was that way?

normaleggy · 13/04/2012 22:27

What is this life of which you speak? Is it the one where I am living with my parents, sharing a bedroom with my 2 dcs because I left my horrible, cheating husband? The one where I am about to be made redundant therefore not knowing how I will support said dcs? You're right, I should just sit around talking about what a cock up my life is and not even try to take my mind off it by talking about trivial things and I am sorry that I even considered it.

I saw some lovely shoes today.

hathorinareddress69 · 13/04/2012 22:27

Now you're just nitpicking Tee and posting stupid stuff and that is not allowed on here don'tchaknow.
