Apologies if there already is one but I haven't found it. Quite a few acronyms I know/can figure out but there are some ones that no matter how long I think, I just can't figure out what they stand for. AIBU (I know that one!) to think a glossary would be helpful? (Feel free to just say what they all mean for me)

Just in case you really aren't aware, though I have my doubts, this is Mumsnet NOT Netmums! N'er the twain shall meet and all that. We don't exactly get on...

SanitaryOwl · 21/10/2014 13:39

THIS IS NOT NETMUMS. Don't me a muppet, lovely ;)

fairgame · 21/10/2014 13:39

Cornish since you seem a little lost, i will kindly point out that you are on MUMSNET!
Netmums is the down the corridor first on the left, follow the glitter and rainbows hun xx

Cornishmaia, this site is mumsnet and your original question mentioned netmums, which is a different website.

Hence all the cryptic replies.

Enjoy.

cornishmaia · 21/10/2014 13:40

Which words?
Mumsnet

talk>am i being unreasonable

Or something that i am not seeing even though it is in plain view (i do that a lot). Am on mobile if it is only visible on desk top. Sorry not good with websites.

My cackling made my baby grin so thanks for that. Thanks

ArtDecoGirly · 21/10/2014 13:41

Uh-oh... do not mention the N word. And especially don't get the two mixed up!! This is no NM!

HattyMonkey · 21/10/2014 13:42

Have a look at the name of the site and have a look at your op again. then play spot the difference.

LiviaDruscillaAugusta · 21/10/2014 13:43

OP - you seem to have us confused with netmums! Grin

ScreamingSmegs · 21/10/2014 13:43

This is Mumsnet.

Netmums is a different site.

From what I've read, they don't like us. Which is a shame, but oh well.

cornishmaia · 21/10/2014 13:43

Sorry! Spelt it wrong way round. I didnt realise there was another ( vastly inferior?) site with such a similar name. Sorry!
Also i dont have a sister.

ArtDecoGirly · 21/10/2014 13:44

Sprink It wasn't just the OP... also Sorry for asking but I am fairly new to netmums and am not great at getting around websites

Mmm ... Possibility of Micheal being extraced ...

ghostyslovesheep · 21/10/2014 13:45

Oh Hun did you get lost :( iiiii for u babe xxxx

Net mums is a totally different site op full of tickers and Luvz xxxx

CinnabarRed · 21/10/2014 13:45

Vastly inferior.

The sister comment is because someone has started a thread on NM talking about being new to MN. Same mistake in reverse.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 21/10/2014 13:46

OP you called us netmums twice in your first two posts, possibly without realising.

There is a really big difference and people on this site will take offence at being confused with netmums. Netmums don't like Mumsnetters much either Smile

"We're not the people's front of Judea we're the Judean's people's front - splitters!!!!"

I always think of this when a netmuns/mumsnet thread pops up Grin

UsedtobeFeckless · 21/10/2014 13:47

Oh ffs ( For Fuck's Sake ) extracted - even!

That's what I was thinking, it all seems very forced and deliberate...

Weelass83 · 21/10/2014 13:49

Don't worry cornish, you'll get used to it eventually! And welcome - that was a fantastic way of introducing yourself to Mumsnet Grin

I'm slowly getting used to all the lingo, but one thing I've recently come across which has confused me is things like: 31/4 when describing (I think) perhaps a premature baby? Can anyone enlighten me please? Smile x

cornishmaia · 21/10/2014 13:51

Have reported my post and asked them to correct the site name ( and glossary). Obviously the other site is inferior as i have never heard of it. ( niiiice mumsnetters, caaalm mumsnetters)

Weelass 31+4 means 31 weeks and 4 days gestation. My babies were born at 38+6 and 37+0 for example.

UsedtobeFeckless · 21/10/2014 13:54

Grin Total windup Hi Cornish...

Pippidoeswhatshewants · 21/10/2014 13:54

Grin I love you, OP!
