To think Mumsnet is mainly south of the border members?

I've been on Mumsnet for about 8 years and I've seen so few posters who say they are Scottish, and none whatsoever in my area (just outside Glasgow).

I've been on the local group (which is dead). It would be great to meet someone near me as I'm bloody lonely. I tried the meet a mum on the other mums website, that's dead too.

You'd think there were no mums in the west coast of Scotland or maybe they are all part of some super amazing website / group that I've yet to hear of!

Scottish mummies, where are you???

Every time I see Mawsnet, I think of MawBroon

YossarianLives · 25/03/2015 16:11

Perth & Kinross here, though I work in Edinburgh Smile

This has nothing to do with anything but I get confused how Perth and Kinross works it's like a huge circle round dh has tried for years to explain it slowly it just doesn't make sense to me it's a huge area

Kinraddie · 25/03/2015 16:54

East Dunbartonshire too!

'Also, in Scotland 'reception' means a place where you tell a hackit faced wifey you've arrived for your appointment.'
Absolutely bloody hilarious laughed like a drain at this I am a Scottish teacher in England. The idea that you are intimately involved in every tiny detail of your offspring's education is absolutely exhausting. Is it still the case that Scottish parents trust teachers since they are educated professionals or have things changed?

BloodyDogHairs · 25/03/2015 19:09

derxa I have a ds in primary 7 and a dd in 5th year, never once have I been to see a teacher about anything other than parent's evening. I don't know any other parents that need to question anything either Grin

Really hope we get a mawsnet. Can I take some of the credit if so? LOL
