To ask if there's an ongoing wtf is wrong with MN today thread?

[ZeroFunDame]

And if there is can someone direct me to it?

The sheer volume of racism, ageism and goady trolls threatening suicide in exchange for shopping directions today is - probably an indication that I am too much here.

Well, you will go popping them out!

Why did the Farrow and Ball thread get zapped?

That is crying out for a punchline.

So some 20 month old babies can actually play I Spy?

Fuck off!

I mean mine weren't completely daft but that's fucking ridiculous!

Know I should have home schooled!

A 20 month old playing I spy? That's nothing, according to my lovely but batty MIL, DH was reciting full nursery rhymes at six months. I just smile and nod.

I think it did say in the thread it was like I spy something red or I spy something blue. It's not advanced for 20 month olds to be able to do that is it? I know one who can count to ten, and if I had not seen it with my own eyes I'd have never ever believed it!

Yes she said it was dumbed down I spy - at worst I think that poster just had an over inflated sense of her son's intellectual and behavioural abilities!

It's interesing though, people started suggesting she was a troll, apparently just because she posted something (being judgy about kids on ipads in restaurants) that went against the mumsnet consensus

Lots of threads about benefits by new or first time posters popping up.

Something odd is going on.

People were suggesting she was a troll because the thread had all the hallmarks of a troll thread.

Seen it all before.

Yes. The mumsnet consensus is trolling is crappy.

I hate threads about children's diets. People are sooooo judgy about what others feed their kids. The op very rarely gets the advice/support they're after. Instead they get lambasted because their kid doesn't eat tofu, lentils and mung beans...

No in my opinion it didn't, usually those sorts of threads are about something really obviously goady and then despite being told YABU over and over they will just come back with one line answers as to why they are NBU. In the iPad thread, a few people (myself included) agreed with the gist of what the OP was saying and the OP came back several times to explain both her original view, and how she played I spy with her 20 month old.

A few people searched her and found that she had changed a couple of details about the sex of her child and her marital status. This doesn't prove she is a t - I have been tempted to do it a couple of times without bothering to name change to avoid being identified, but I have resisted, mainly because I don't want to be accused of being a troll when I post something that someone with too much time on their hands doesn't like and they advance search my posts!

I usually ignore the benefits threads, even if they don't seem hairy, a hairy crowd usually reply and it goes tits up. Maybe a whole benefits board they can flock too is needed? A form of kettling for trolls.

but that thread WAS goady

'I am a wonderful parent aibu to judge parents who don't meet my standards because

Oh I am not being goady honest

Tbf, my second DS played I Spy at that age too. It is still a family joke that during a car journey he 'spied' something beginning with 'T'.

Half an hour later, with all guesses receiving a resounding NO!, we gave up.

'TOW' he shouted triumphantly, 'The TOW in the field'.

Yes, he did have problems with T's and C's.

At two years old he was reading, and reading properly.

He is now in his late 20's, intelligent, but by no means a genius - kids develop at different rates!

No wanted to play speculate the maddest thing ever on the mil calling up the cschool and claiming she'd gotten permission to take them out thread with me. I was quite sad.

I made myself stay off the 'chip on the shoulder' thread zero after my first toe dip. Wasn't really my place, be almost as bad as the ignoramuses...
