IME anyway.

nickelbarapasaurus · 10/07/2012 16:33

if you have to ask, then it's worse than you thought.

LentillyFart · 10/07/2012 16:33

nothing is wrong with it, in some ways it is superior to mumsnet

Ok. Against my better judgement..............let's hear it then?

Nuff said.

HecateHarshPants · 10/07/2012 16:34

Nothing's wrong with them.

nothing at all.

It's just a different style.

Viviennemary · 10/07/2012 16:35

This thread made me smile. That's an achievement anyway. Grin

LadyBeagleEyes · 10/07/2012 16:37

Personally it's not for me.
But different strokes for different folks, really.
They don't like MN much either.

MamaMaiasaura · 10/07/2012 16:37

Cos they're cunting dull with no fucking bum sex or wank sock threads... And they'd never allow shitty cotton buds.

Cheriefroufrou · 10/07/2012 16:38

the OP is always right and should ignore all RL people who say otherwise (including all HCPs, teachers, concerned friends, social workers..)

Don't ask a qustion if you want an answer, only ask to be told how in the right you are and you know best cause you're the mummy

ThePathanKhansWitch · 10/07/2012 16:39

I lack the ability to not be distracted by the tickers.

Bit harsh Cupsof.

sassy34264 · 10/07/2012 16:39

I tried reading a couple of threads once on netmums and very quickly lost the will to live.

YouOldSlag · 10/07/2012 16:39

*Other than being a euphemism-ridden, pink and sparkly ticker festooned, non-swearing, over-moderated, hun'n'bubz filled pastel monstrosity with a baby names section that will have you sniggering till next tuesday?

Nothing at all.*

I'm with Penis.

Pascha · 10/07/2012 16:40

The people on Mumsnet are all wankers too of course.

There's nothing wrong with Netmums, there's a fairly large crossover I suspect. It just caters for a different cross-section of people.

sassy34264 · 10/07/2012 16:41

why didnt my four stars in a line work- for fuck off?

is mumsnet trying so hard to be anti netmums that we're not even allowed stars? Hmm

OP posts:
YouOldSlag · 10/07/2012 16:42

I can't stand the way you're trying to read at thread on netmums and all the tickers are animated and winking at you and smiling and the little emoticons keep pulling faces. It put me right off.

corlan · 10/07/2012 16:42

You know the kind of woman who's not very bright but has a strongly held opinion on every bleeding subject and has to go on about it loudly and at length - well that's Netmums.

Actually, hang on a minute, maybe that's Mumsnet as well.

Anyhoo, you can swear on Mumsnet and that's what makes us cool!

IMeMine · 10/07/2012 16:43

I also love that mumsnet is full of strong, intelligent women (and men!) with opinions and all that jazz. Also can have me wetting myself laughing one moment and crying genuine tears the next. The support that is often offered on here restores my faith in hunman nature.

Er, human, obviously

Cheriefroufrou · 10/07/2012 16:45

I like that on MN people disagree with you and tell you you are being UR before you trot off and make a tit out of yourself in RL

Pascha · 10/07/2012 16:45

The stars thing is just a quirk of formatting because they are used in another function here (to bold something). You can do 3 stars which gives < >, or 5 stars which gives < * > but for some reason 4 stars gives < * >

Hmm, must remember to use that...

CupsofTeaAndHandfulsOfCake · 10/07/2012 16:46

Oh yes. Wankers are everywhere not just on Netmums but what's great about Mumsnet is we can say wankers as much as we want.
On Netmums you can't.
Swearing makes us cool.
