to ask what's soooo wrong with netmums?

[sassy34264]

noticed a lot of derogatory remarks about them.
what have they done?

[tallulahturtle]

I've never been on NM but I've just had a look and one thing that stood out is that there are an awful lot of posts where the viewing figures for the post are very high but the replies are very low. At least on here, even if people don't know what advice to give, they just offer their support rather the just lurking.

I ended up here after there was a thread about three years ago on NM slagging off AIBU.
Loads of people popped over and came back horrified about the swearing and 'bullying'. Honestly, there was much hand-wringing and bosom-hoiking.
I came over and stayed!

[scottishmummy]

two sites are different.very.so get over it
it's not obligatory to rip the piss to prove some point

[arthurfowlersallotment]

peanut I didn't see the MN one- can't imagine it went down well

[starmaker7]

there are places with worse tickers and signatures than NM's ,I have them turned off on most sites that have them

[NiniLegsInTheAir]

When my relationship first started to crumble (before I ever posted here), I went to Netmums for advice. All I got was contact from one of their counsellors offering email counselling that started at £30 per email.

No way I could afford that so I came here instead and talked to people in AIBU & Relationships. Way better, and cheaper

[peanutMD]

Arthur that's on here is it on netmums too

[EnglishGirlApproximately]

filibear I saw that! Bad mother

[arthurfowlersallotment]

I read a recent NM post where a woman complained at the treatment her daughter had in hospital during labour.

Apparently, as her daughter was married, she should have been treated better..

There is some useful stuff on there but I can't deal with the text speak and tickers.

[AlexReidsLonelyBraincell]

ArthurFowler I only read page one,

It was enough.

[nickelbarapasaurus]

i post events on the local boards.

[nickelbarapasaurus]

they don't say "baby" Sinister - they say "bubs" or "lo" or "babba"

[EmpressOfTheSevenOceans]

Blimey, Netmums do bumsex? Not impressed by the ramming comments.

[arthurfowlersallotment]

this thread is fucking horrific

[mathanxiety]

Scottishmummy, I keep on expecting you to break into haiku.

[Emmielu]

I'm so very tempted to start a thread & grill them. I shall use double spaces with my swear words & capital letters highlighting them. Only here can you get away with penis wanker shit fuck dick bitch in your username.

[peanutMD]

Fuck it do the right thing and swear :o

[BCBG]

Just went to take my first ever peek.... Dear God. I now know that according to her ticket Emma hasn't ovulated yet because she's on day seven, with probably another 8 to go...... please don't tell me that everyone needs to know that amount of detail? I want to vom. Or swear.

[peanutMD]

I'd be quicker listing what's right about it... Erm their local listings can be okay...

Other than that it's shit (and I am far more Jeremy Vile than kirsty whatser face).

Can't stand the lack of opinions, sickening supportiveness regardless of the situation, fugly pastels and twinkly tickers detailing their PFB last shit... just generally not that interesting :o
