I'm relatively new to this site but can honestly say that whenever I have posted a problem I only ever get lovely supportive replies. I only wish that I had found you when I was TTC and pregnant as I might actually have had more of a clue about how babies actually behave rather than what the books tell me I should be doing (I'm looking at you Gina Ford!!)

I've also followed threads where the poster is quite obviously struggling and the support they get is overwhelming.

And if people post about first world problems like babies eating Greggs and 5 months old being sexualised by console cables they are quite rightfully told to get a grip.

That is all!

YANBU - this site is wonderful in its support of others. Just look away from AIBU & you'll find so many lovely threads of support & kindness.

Sorry YouTheCat BIL bought it for us when I was pregnant - is she banned here? The amount of bloody people who told me just follow GF - DS will be sleeping within weeks - WTF!!!?

Have to say some of the threads I posted I'm a bit Blush about now but people were still nice and helpful and ignored my complete ignorance Grin

GobbolinoCat · 28/04/2014 16:57

first type of MN, :oh god we really do have to share the planet with idiots like you.

second type: thank god for common sense and humanity.

These two types interchange depending on thread subject.

AlpacaLypse · 28/04/2014 16:58

It'll be quite easy for me to do the running through Chat with bra on head bit. The one I'm wearing today has undone itself three times and I'm getting bored of sticking it back into place!

OnlyLovers · 28/04/2014 17:00

No, YANBU, we're great. Grin

AlpacaLypse · 28/04/2014 17:01

Apparently GF took out some sort of injunction against MN as so many of us were lambasting her as utterly useless being a bit critical about some of her advice. If you ever see She Who Must Not Be Named mentioned on a thread, it's quite likely a reference to her.
