and not as a tool to spread the word amongst our friends and fofs about how great Mumsnet is (like what hq surely intended)?

Parenting? Pmsl

MmeLindor. · 09/07/2012 15:43

TSC
What is working and parenting, and does it interfere with your FB and MN time?

WhatWouldMargoDo · 09/07/2012 16:03

I would never link an mn thread to my personal fb page, no.

And Shirley is really funny and shit.

Nah, Hulls. Shirley is my very first MN cross over friend. She's, like, a pioneer.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 09/07/2012 16:28

Roaring at tirty tree treads and 'parenting'.

what's that when it's at home? Grin

GetOrfMoiiLand · 09/07/2012 16:29

I am not even on facebook.

I don't know why.

I feel like I am missing out on all the fun in life.

FootballFriendSays · 09/07/2012 16:29

I have no idea what Button you mean. I only read on my phone, perhaps I need to be on the laptop for that.

WELL I'M NOT GOING TO BEG CHICKENS

ShirleyKnot · 09/07/2012 16:35

I gotta say, this is difficult to watch.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 09/07/2012 16:36

Meh. I'm ok with it

WavingLeaves · 09/07/2012 16:36

But why would anyone want to announce to all their FB friends and family that

a) they are a MNer and

b) are heavily engrossed in a thread about (for example) 'Does Victoria Beckham need Worming'

whether or not you are supposed to be working / parenting????

"But why would anyone want to announce to all their FB friends and family that

this is why I always wondered why we had a fb like button. If you like something from Mumsnet on your wall then everyone who is a rl proper friend on there will assume you use Mumsnet and they could come over and try and find you .. Shock Shock Shock.

Yes, and when it is all like tumbleweed on here and is all crap threads about sippy cups and nit combs we know all our supposed FRIENDS are on FB talking about us

Pinot · 09/07/2012 16:40

ShirleyKnot · 09/07/2012 16:42

I would never link to MN on my FB page.

I am way too fucking cool for that.
