DH thinks I mumsnet too much

[ThanksSpanx]

How much mumsnet is too much? I'm on mat leave with 10 month old DD and am on mumsnet every day. In total I probably spend a good couple of hours mumsnetting. My DH rolls his eyes when he sees I'm on here in the evening and has asked if I'm addicted.
I've name changed this week as I worried I'd be identifiable from my posts.

I'm very amused that your response to him.saying you come on here too much is to come on here more so you can check how much other people post compared to you!

Maui I do the long walks, baby groups, lunches/coffee with friends. I could probably do more on the chores front- I do all of the shopping, washing and cooking but don't bother with much day to day tidying and we have a cleaner.

I do like my DH and we do chat but he's on his phone quite a bit too in the evening. I don't know why he has a problem with MN as he spend a fair bit of time playing pointless games on his phone.

I do miss adult conversation in between our outings with mums/babies and find a lot of the day to day baby stuff a bit boring.

I had that with a previous dp, anytime I disagreed with him or I had an opinion he'd say something like is that you or mums net talking .

I dint post my own stuff on here st the time.

I practically live on here. It has gotten to the point that I show DH threads on here and say things like, "See, all of Mumsnet thinks we should buy that house / get a rescue Staffie / say no to Igor attending the wedding."

Reader, it works .

He shouldn't be complaining if he is on his phone too!
I had loads of free time with a baby despite playing and taking him out loads, kept the flat clean etc and mumsnet was usually my free time filler! It's relaxing and doesn't take much brain power. DP laughs as I start a lot of sentences with "I read about so and so on mumsnet..." but he does the same with reddit! We cuddle and chat while we browse so it's an inclusive hobby..

I'm on here waaaaay too much. Love it. I don't even bother googling stuff, just search here instead.

But I'm due in January so I'm sure that will all change then

My DH is the same, at night he's gaming or on his phone. Horses for courses.

ThanksSpanx this is not going to go down well with all the posters who demand that their partners do at least half the housework because they don't have enough time whilst looking after the kids all day

I didn't mean that there is anything wrong with being on MN with a baby, I just wish I had been more organised to have the time to do it so much!

[chanie44]

I'm on here way too much too

[TathitiPete]

Yadnbu! LTB or at least tell him to ODFOD while you treat yourself to a spa day.

[BlueFolly]

I'm on here too much too. One of the benefits of ltb is that I don't get grief for it any more

If he's on his phone then he's no better than you so tell him to fuck off.

[Dingarees]

I'm addicted too apparently.

[ijustwannadance]

Maybe in the short time you get to spend together you could agree to keep off phones? Then just MN all day whilst he's out

[Charley50]

I'm on here too much. I'm trying to wean myself off but it's hard.

[ThanksSpanx]

I feel much better about my MN use knowing I'm not the only one. I'll tell him HBU and if he so much as dares to bring it up again, I shall LTB as suggested. Thank you all.
