why is mumsnet so unfriendly and shit compared to netmums

[hellogals]

Ive changed my name as im peeved off. I asked for a genuine bit of advice about dd2 school, and i got abuse. Everyone is so unfriendly and jump down ur throat. Its very clicky in here and they all stick togethet. At least on netmums u get a fair hearing and gd advice, its crap here.

People come on here for an ego trip and im sick of it. Have a bit if respect and decency for peoples feelings!!! Grrrrr wish it was properly monitored

I'm appalled that someone can defend a poster using the word retard. It really must be a shit site if that's the standard of moderation.

Oh and I'll tell you what real bullying is. I can give you live action bullying.

I am say on the fucking floor posting this whilst HullyFuckingGullyPuppy takes up an ENTIRE 3 seater sofa

I haven't read the whole thread but I do agree with the OP, particularly in recent years. Sometimes people will just be nasty on a thread where you're asking for advice for no reason at all and I've been on the receiving end of that so sympathise. But the nasty people are not everyone, the site is just bigger than it used to be with more trolls perhaps

OTOH mumsnet is much more cerebral than netmums, and that is why I've stuck with it for 10 years even though netmums is friendlier and I do post there too sometimes.

Pmsl at Zombies going Graaaaaaaaains

I don't understand either. There's been talk of posters being mean people being clickey although I explained about this, it's the thumbs you know some pisstaking talk about spelling and text speak, I was told to get a grip what does it all meeeaaannnn?????

Prune yoghurt?

Oh good grief.

Why?

We had a nice Irish stew and mashed swede with carrot, t'were luvverly.

I must go to bed - swimming in the morning and it's fecking badge week so I can't bunk off - bloody kids - pool side at 9am ...on a SATURDAY ffs - nite all lodz of luv and hugz an tikaz and glitta

I looked at Nemums once after seeing it mentioned on here. Had never heard of it beforehand.

Lots of text speak (fine if that is your thing) and pink. Not much in the way of intelligent discussion never mind amusing wit. I decided to stay put.

Uh oh Olivia did the face.

I think that's our cue to get our arses to bed

How can a Puppy be that big?!

reeling take it off! Mine came off the minute I walked in and always does

Ha! I see your HullyFuckingGullyPuppy taking up the whole sofa, and raise you a neurotic EvilWolefHound who has thrown up all over the sofa whilst lying on it. And then threw up in her bed. Then on the office floor, and finally on the kitchen floor.

I would swap all of that for one snuggly wuggly puppy on a sofa.

What does any of it mean?

I can't believe any self respecting person over the age of 12 uses the word "mean"

Mumsnet comes first alphabetically therefore it is better says someone who spent years coming last because my surname began with a letter at the end of the alphabet

I don't know what you mean, ilovesooty!

I must go to bed too, the problems of living in a houseshare and your desk chair being the end of your bed DP is unimpressed by my sitting on it whilst he's trying to doze :( Don't get the thread deleted, interested to hear about how zombies survive on graaaaiiins

I click by the knees these days :( and quiched back in the day as a bjullying bjitch it was fabby nowi just want some oink glitter and to see the original made up thread. I dislike the sparkly side.

The view from my cushion on the floor

Maybe Olivia was trying to get rid of all the newcomers, after the penis beaker saga. So they could save the servers

I am kidding btw, before I get banned too

Oink glitter, Superman?

Aw well Perception, I've only been here 2/3 years but I don't see that much bullying really... just honesty.

I tried Netmums and couldn't focus after 5 minutes. Dreadful place.

I tried Bounty and it was just utterly shit tbh and full of people worrying about their 4 year old struggling with War and Peace.

I am a member of another, much smaller and more intimate parenting forum and have been there for 9 years or something daft like that.

But I do like it here.
