to feel let down by mumsnet

[cantbedoingwithit]

A friend has been raving about mumsnet and said that i should join as it is "like talking to friends who are supportive, friendly and who give sound advice." I have been lurking on mn and have been reading lots of threads and have been put off from starting a thread myself because i found some of the replies really quite un friendly (to say the least) and some sound quite rude. I realize that mn prides its self on being a 'no nonsense' type of forum and life isnt all flowers and fluffy clouds, and that sometimes the truth isnt always 'nice' but i was quite shocked at some of the 'un sisterly' comments.

There's never a whole topic dedicated to changing bags?

Well, vipers don't. (Live ethically, I mean.)

do vipers really live in a nest?

Although there was a bit of a luke warm heated debate on camping once about windbreaks.

Beer I got my arsed tanned in there. did get a public apology a few hours later

Yup she's still here.

Are we to conclude that people who own fish have nothing bad to say?

That is reassuring

Nooooooooooo! Let us stop at once and learn the error of our ways....

Me too Ferret,i only asked if i should get the bloody dog an outside kennel cos she was moulting so bloody much.

The fish topic is normally how to try and stop a fish dying!
So people rally round.
Particularly the aptly named poster EauRouge. Who seems to know everything you ever need to know about fish.

Reeling, just shave her.

People who own fish are the worst.

Fish are for eating not looking at.

Have you seen how much they spend on their fish tank stuff

You have to admit though, doghouse gets sticks because there has been some fucking enormous bunfights in there.

Think the bad rep of The Doghouse is an illustration of "Mud sticks"

She's moulting at the moment Ferret,it's driving me mad,clumps of hair like tumbleweed floating around everywhere.

reeling

yes. But not much nourishment in a guppy

STicks, sticks, sticks and bones

they do die a lot. Although I'm having a good run at the moment.

Will head to the Fishtank (or whatever it's called) when another is imminent

I couldn't disagree with you more OP. Posts get honest replies, when they deserve to be called a twat, they are. And, when people deserve support, they get it. I suppose if you want to be always right, then you wouldn't like it.

Thick as their own shit are fish,pretty but stoopid.

I havent visited every topic yet.
I did think, on one nutty bored day, that I would post on all of them
But I looked in on "Ford" , out of curiosity.
I couldnt decide exactly what the board was going to be about before I looked.
Yep, Ford cars!
About 6 new threads a year are started on there!
Gave up there and then on being on every board!

I own fish.

Well tbh I'm actually waiting for them to die.

Don't get me wrong i'm not mistreating them. I feed them, I care for them.

I just want rid though.

Lots of funny posts about fish since I last looked [ grin]

When I wrote the list, I didnt think it was going to be pets that was talked about

We went to an aquarium shop yesterday,it is extortionate.

Pretty but expensive.

Nice carp though,you can eat carp.
