I first posted on MN several years ago (under a different name) to ask other mums what they thought of a difficult relationship situation I was in. I literally had nowhere else to turn. The replies I had were many and varied but the negativity I received over a pretty reasonable subject was unbelievable. It put me off to be honest. I'm not some do-goody prat and I like to spout off at the best of times, but sometimes reading the highlighted posts on here makes me think of how when we are all in shops and our trolley or basket bumps someone else's and we all fall over ourselves to say 'oops sorry' , but then when in our cars protected by the metal and distance we shout and swear and let rip at the slightest thing!!
Are there any kind Mumsnetters out there who can restore my faith in MN that we are here to support each other and not be evil or nasty? Constructive/helpful comments or constructive criticism is different to just being mean. BTW I'm not a fluffy wetty, I just hate pointless negativity!
