Just that, really.

I can imagine the sweet smiling mums cooing at drop off then storming home to swear and shout on here...

Because they know their lust for Peter Andre will never amount to more than a beautiful daydream. Even now the stark realisation that I will never join Mr Andre in wondrous sexual congress can hit me like a hammer. And I sound like a wounded animal as I cry out in pain.

Then I bring that pain to MN and yell at people about parking spaces.

So many thread titles with the word Livid, Furious, Incandescent - must be bloody exhausting to get angry over daft little things.

Yeah, I suppose it would be if it was always the same person. But it's not, is it?

I might be angry a tiny percentage of the time and happy or just OK the rest of the time - but the angry moment is probably what I'd post about.

How do you know all the angry people are mums? Some are dads. Some aren't parents at all.

Few people here have much tolerance for goadyfuckery, mind.

I blame daft generalisations.

I'm a Mum, and I don't have the energy for anger, but sometimes I can absolutely empathise with a FFS type post about something relatively minor. It's just about posting in the moment I think....and I really don't think that it is most Mums on here.

LovelyBath · 28/01/2016 12:51

Seriously, though, do you think being a mum is sometimes about having to be nice and lovely all the time, and due to that it makes mums have an inner anger...perhaps. I am actually interested.

Flowers for you hiho Grin

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 28/01/2016 12:54

See, I genuinely don't know if you are interested, or just being a goady fucker.

Jw35 · 28/01/2016 12:55

I don't get this. I'm not angry and rarely post anything angry. I think you're generalising too much. I also don't think you will find a definitive answer to this question! Everyone's different.

VagueIdeas · 28/01/2016 12:55

Considering you're talking about "mums" as some sort of homogenous alien race, I take it you're not a mother? Or even a woman?

Maybe they don't drink enough NightNurse.

PurpleDaisies · 28/01/2016 12:56

How do you which posters are mums op? There isn't a special colour coding system as far as I know.

Hihohoho1 · 28/01/2016 12:57

Thank you Sunny

Sad sad loss. Wink

WorraLiberty · 28/01/2016 12:57

If you mean are you being unreasonable to wonder why some people seem so angry on here, then YANBU to wonder.

But I think given how many Mumsnet members there are, it's still only a small percentage.

listsandbudgets · 28/01/2016 12:58

I'm not angry but I've had enough of this behaviour... now go and tidy your bedroom and then stay up there until you're ready to apologise.... get out of my sight

Presumably OP knows which posters are Mums because they are the angry ones?

I find the septuagenarian male posters too pedantic about grammar, but wouldn't necessarily start an OP about it.

OP I don't think Mums needs to be nice and lovely all the time. we just are Grin

If you do my tax return, make me a lemsip and take over my social media admin I promise to cheer the fuck up Smile

And no I fucking don't (were you socialised in Disneyland or something?) Next question.

Yes, I think I'm a bit like that. People pleaser on the outside, ball of pent up rage on the inside. It comes out once a month...

This thread is reminding me of that annoying 'Mums, you're doing great' ad.

'Mums, you're extremely pissed off'.
