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

sits back and rubs tired eyes

have read all the posts!!!!

coz I hate people writing I havnt read all the posts but ........

as others have said some love the softly fluffy hugs hun nm approach - others the mn tough love approach - proper advice when needed and a laugh and wont get banned for saying I have a fucking cunt of a day

ive been on mn for about 7 years and yes there are threads and serious flaming at times --some needed lol-

but

mn also comes into its own when support and advice is needed

people were here 24/7 when I couldn't sleep and awake after dh died

im one of the woolly hugs blankets receivers and I was and still am so touched by the warmth and love of many virtual strangers

people who have never heard of me donating money for wool and people knitting them

spending time, money and sheer effort on something that made my life better after dh committed suicide in 2011

so op, I notice you havnt replied for ages, but basically if you don't like mn and love nm tbh go back there and don't come on here complaining, esp if you wont even link the original thread you say that everyone was bitchy and horrible on

What's rather amusing is that she's sworn in her thread title...and the thread has stayed. If she'd done that on Netmums it would have been deleted ages ago!

but knowing when you last did a poo is kind of important to us.
in Brad Pitt's word it's inevitable

So sorry to hear about your husband Blondes

The woolly hugs thing is something I often mention when people bad-mouth this place. It's a wonderful and inspiring thing to do.

Blondes

I'd rather be a stuck up trout than a Made in Chelsea type.

While I was there I've started having a nose around and have found 3 threads about us in the last few days. They're obsessed!

Pete

it's jealousy

I think it was about 5 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds, 25 milliseconds, 43 millisquilltrillseconds

Something like that...although obviously that will now be wrong...

Sorry to hear about your husband Blondes.

I now can't connect to Netmums but every other website is ok.

They know.

I was just musing about that...maybe it's all the Mumsnet traffic

thanks for

there are many other things mn has done, ive sent clothes and dog toys to a mn member as she couldn't afford stuff

another mn dh died, and then sadly so did dh2 a few years later, sure you know who I mean, don't want to name names, but everyone, myself included pulled together and contributed to that

others that have no food, I donate to a food bank to help people like her - coz I am lucky enough to generally not have money worried, as long as I am working

all those mn who have lost a child - I have always said no parent should bury a child :(

the sn boards and also for me recently the infertility have all been amazing

basically people say mn is harsh, and yes it can be, but when the chips are down and someone needs help and support, it is there

do I dare write thanks hun and blows kisses xxx

The moderation is a problem. I feel the site is quite sexist and belittles DV against men by allowing women to joke about it in a way that would NOT be allowed if it was men doing it. I raised the issue and i have now finally had a response but I'm still not that happy with it.

It does piss me off how people seem to think if you swear then you're a moron who can't express themselves eloquently.

Scarlet-I wonder if they get a lot of traffic to the threads about anal sex and blow jobs.

They seemed quite popular.

What I want to know is, why did the OP post here asking for advice about something when she prefers NMs anyway. Why didn't she just post there to start with?

I've always avoided those. There are a few weird blokes who hang around in the Wine Bar. I've had friends be propositioned by them via PM.

I've been on mumsnet for about four years now (under a different name for most of that time, changed to this one about three months ago)

Now, sometimes there are posters who are unneccessarily unkind and snippy, but they are definitely in the minority.

The help and support I've had on here has been tremendous, I've never experienced anything like it before, I certainly don't have the level of support, kindness, and generousity in RL that I get on here, it's amazing

I would never have got through if it wasn't for all you nest of vipers!

Had some real giggles too, and if I ever have any questions about anything it's "Ask mumsnet, they'll know!"

Where else could I share tales of my mad roast beef measuring mother?

A more suspicious bastard than me might think the op is simply stirring the shit between sites.

booboo

I was wondering as well.

WHAT! PA

I don't even want to write that word; is that really happening about children with s/n? and all the racist stuff? and thats all ok by NM, but not ok to swear?

thats all to fucking cock right?

yeah, and everyone on MN is a stuck up trout as well
.. who's mature

Blonds

Amazing supports here in true MN style and some not so MN also; MN known for it.

And mn is educational as well

Where else would I learn not to google dragon butter - minting - space docking .......

But my fav word - esp as sums up a friends man - is

COCKLODGER

Fuck it

Munting not minting

Sometimes edit would be nice just for 30secs after you post

I have tried to google dragon butter. All I see is a dragon carved out of butter. I don't need to know!
