Not long LittleMiss , it depends what you post. For example (and these are real examples from that I saw on there pre-august 2009) if you start a thread saying you've just hit your child, you will very quickly get posts saying 'oh you poor thing, are you ok hun?' . Likewise, if you post that you go out for a bit and leave your young kids at home for a while and somebody has reported you to social services, you will also get 'oh you poor thing, how horrible to do that. It's totally unreasonable, of course they are safe and you are the worlds bestest mum. Have a hug hun.'
However, if you should post that you like to take care of yourself, wear heels, have been cheated on, your hubby is a total prat etc then you will be berated for all eternity! Likewise, if your other half leaves you as a single parent, naturally if you are struggling it's all your fault as you should have chosen a better partner in the first place. All women are psychic you see.
They're an odd bunch over there. It's hard to describe them. At times they may come across as being all perfect earth mothers but they are not. I actually remember one ,although in fairness she did have mental health problems, who had hated it when the site went down while it was being upgraded. She very honestly admitted that during that 12 hours her kids had had their first proper cooked dinner in a very long time, because she didn't know what to do with herself during the time she couldn't be sat on netmums all day long..
