Am I being unreasonable to be put off by the amount of swearing on Mumsnet?

OP posts:
andsoimback · 04/04/2016 13:14

Fuck no.

NeedACleverNN · 04/04/2016 13:14

Yep

You are very un-fucking-reasonable

ilovesooty · 04/04/2016 13:14

Off you fuck then. Grin

MyKingdomForBrie · 04/04/2016 13:15

Not if it bothers you. There's a lot less on Netmums I think.

andsoimback · 04/04/2016 13:15

They're all a bunch of cunts here.

BadDoGooder · 04/04/2016 13:16

Ooooh goody.....

andsoimback · 04/04/2016 13:17

If you don't like it you're in the wrong place.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 04/04/2016 13:18

Of course your not being unfuckingreasonable.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 04/04/2016 13:22

Two identical threads in as many weeks op? Might I suggest you have a bit too much time on your hands and you should find a hobby?

I think swearing is a good way to pass time.

catsinthecraddle · 04/04/2016 13:23

no. YANBU

It's boring, it's a lazy way to express yourself, and it doesn't add anything. Some posters obviously believe swearing make them look clever, they just come across as childish.

Just try to ignore it, and feel sorry for the kids who are being raised by parents who can't stop swearing. I hear a lot of them in front of some schools or in Asda, what can you do.

WhereYouLeftIt · 04/04/2016 13:23

We're adults. We swear. That's not going to change. Deal with it, or if you can't, go elsewhere.

BathshebaDarkstone · 04/04/2016 13:23

ODFOD, before somebody else says it! Grin

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2016 13:25

MN not the site for you perhaps.

AdrenalineFudge · 04/04/2016 13:26

For fucks sake. Not this fucking shit again. Yanbu - it is decidedly unbecoming behaviour of ladies.

janethegirl2 · 04/04/2016 13:28

No one has to swear. You can use the technically correct vocabulary if you must Grin

janethegirl2 · 04/04/2016 13:28

Sanguinary copulator!

PaulAnkaTheDog · 04/04/2016 13:29

You're joking, right craddle?! I swear like a trooper on here but not around my child. So your point is fucked.

ilovesooty · 04/04/2016 13:29

I see you didn't bother returning to the thread you started a few weeks ago.

Twitterqueen · 04/04/2016 13:31

Calm down dear... All the words are in the OED so they must be OK. Try making up your own, or even better - bring back some old swear words, like the below.

Zootikins! you must be bored
Well, potzblitz, I could have sworn I bought noodles."
Your dog's dying? Waesucks

catsinthecraddle · 04/04/2016 13:31

PaulAnkaTheDog

why bother then, if you have enough vocabulary? I am not joking at all, my youngest ones and I had to witness a charming mother using the F word at least 5 times in the same sentence whilst speaking to her 9 or 10 year old in the supermarket this morning. Charming.

Twitterqueen · 04/04/2016 13:31

Oh for fucks sake - link fail. Shit, bugger, dammit

Sunnybitch · 04/04/2016 13:33

Yes you ABU!

If you don't like grown adults swearing then maybe you should pop off to netmums Hmm

You can get banned just for saying ARSE over there

MammaTJ · 04/04/2016 13:33

Yet you are still here!

Strange that!
