.to wonder if the vast majority of parents on this web site are perfect?

[amck5700]

Not been here too long, but it seems that almost everyone here is a perfect parent who look down on the mere mortals who come on here for help and support - maybe i have just been unlucky in the threads I have picked to look at or comment on, but surely not everyone here has an ass so tight it squeaks when they walk??!!

b% that are about the abundance of Tesco availability North of the border!

look at our opening times FFS

how does that work pag if people just bitch and then change their name?

Actually wish i'd chosen something a bit more interesting to be honest, but out of principle i wont change it now.

Major slow X-posting.

Slow and deprived dahn sarf

What else is open 24hrs Tapir??

sorry yeah - there are other 24 hour supermarkets on a sunday here - that just happens to be one of them.

Fuck. Is it time for a large yet?

All this perfection makes a gal thirsty.....

Well I would but our Tesco shut ages ago ao we're stuck with tapwater. And Gruel.

we have pubs that are open for 23 hours if that is any use? they shut for an hour to clean.

It isn't the initial vibe of the place unless you take a few threads - usually in aibu - and form a view based on that.

I think when I first arrived I took a good look around at lots of threads before I formed a view.
If you go on aibu and decide that represents mn it is the same as watching endless reruns of Jeremy Kyle and deciding that tv is thick and hostile.

And tbh, if I turn up anywhere - a pub, a club, a party - and think it is awful I leave. I don't stand in the middle of the room telling everyone they are dull and badly dressed.

Lecturing others when you know nothing about 95% of the site is bad manners.

Ach just the usual, bars, gyms, all the supermarkets....we're spoiled!

OP - yanbu.

A lot of posters on here do have a stick up their arse, and when they became parents, they handed their sense of humours in for retirement when they left the labour ward. If you are less than totally selfless, and do become a slave to all things chaste and pious, then you might well be flamed. I've never come across so much marching-in-form-along-the-straight-and-narrow in my life!!

However, it must be said that not everyone here is like that. Some of us a lot more laid back.

It takes all sorts, and you may disregard the opinions of whoever you like. Don't let it bother you.

Who is the 'almost everyone' of whom you speak? Most posts I find/look at are from people so far from perfect and not ashamed to to admit it.

Massive x-post.

But they don't. I have been here 8 years and never changed my name.

You need to stop thinking about mn as some big group you are looking at from the outside. You are as much a member as I am. If mn is filled with rude fuckers then that is you as much as me.

Nowt like getting blootered at sparrow fart and hitting the shops!

Yes a large is at me.

The best bits on MN are often on threads in faraway places where people tell you how to fix your boiler or handle a difficult transaction. And there's always mental stuff on Chat about eels.

pag, have you been in baby names??!!

but then it is clearly not just me if there are one of these types of posts regularly

I've namechanged once - because I needed relationship advice about dh and I. Nothing to do with bitchiness or bunfighting.

If I ever need more advice about dh, or my dcs, or the cowbag that raised me, then I'll namechange back to it. Otherwise, no.

Noooooo
Don't go in baby names

lol - it's too late.......this place is kinda weird but I'll stick around for a bit and see what happens.

It isn't just you.
But honestly? It remains rude uninformed and hectoring.

Just because lots of you feel it is fine to criticise a site having just turned up doesn't mean it is a valid opinion.
It just means you are prepared to make a snap judgement and be rude about it.

That isn't a good thing. IMO.

I ROFL in baby name threads....I have posted my all too honest opinion (but in my defence always perfect) too many times! Some of the names are truly hideous....

pag - you are becoming like a dog with a bone - i apologised about 2 pages ago.

This is a great thread.

Not only have I discovered I'm perfect...

I also have two 24 hour supermarkets within a few miles of me.

p.s. When I first joined MN I thought it was lovely and kind and supportive.

Took me a while to discover AIBU

I am not a dog with a bone.
I thought this was an evolving conversation.

I shall go then.
