this bloody 'hand holding' shit that is going on here

[manofsponge]

USED to be for really bad stuff - bereavement and stuff.
NOW its for anything and tbh I think it is a bit twee.

netmums anyone?

or this ( but only for Justine tbh)

Oh come on - you know you want to!

oops

oh fgs

the man? A REET ol perv. that is how I imagine the 'what are you wearing today ' threads to be

Awwww. Problems with your posting?

Here....have a hand hold.

runs...... screaming

Oh op, I do like you.

If I promise never to hold your hand, will you promise never to tell me what's for dinner/what you're wearing/what funny thing a child said today?

This could be the beginning of a beautiful thing with physically, emotionally and practically defined limits.

I like sometimes offering a hand to hold and/or hugs.

Do I need a spreadshit of those that don't want either offered ?

Oh blimey.

You think, BTP ?

Didn't realise it was such an offence.

I LONG for a hug I'm so lonely

But given the choice between a place where people can ask for support and physical affection, and a place where they get shouted down for asking - surely the former is better?

EmmanuelWoganberry It is possible to change your pants with one hand. I had a broken arm earlier this year and am a quick learner. It's surprising what you can do with one hand / arm. I couldn't tie shoelaces though, or peel potatoes. Lots of things I couldn't do but plenty of things that I learned to do.

And I was grateful for the hugs and kisses I received from Mumsnetters.

No ones shouting at anyone.

If your worried about bitterness and lack of support you should see the meanness to other posters on the flaming thread. It's enough to make a weasel weep.
