to get upset at inappropriate thread titles

I've obviously made a huge error of judgement commenting on a thread full of hugely pregnant women and I apologise to them for that (pleading temporary insanity of disgusting icky cold)

however

I do hate seeing thread titles popping up all the time in active conversations (because they're ongoinng chats rather than jokes that fade away) that have sexual innuendo in the title .. just seems so uneccessarily childishly assinine

eg an ante natal thread entitled 'minty sperm or original' .. ach!

oh here we go again

I don't keep posting on the AN threads .. I have posted and asked for it to be deleted which it has

It seems to me that I may not be the only one who has foot in mouth disease

I have apologised and most people have accepted it - you do whatever makes you feel happy Katy

and have a happy and healthy birth

Thank you for your best wishes.
Please can this be the end of it.

Would just like to say my very final word that actually you'll find plenty of people on the AN threads that already have children. Please don't assume we are all first time mothers thinking it'll all be fluffy bunnies and cute smiles. PG we may be but not stupid.

OMG away for half term and all my fluffy egg buddies have got into a fight over sperm - if it was Brad Pitt's sperm I could understand. I haven't had any sperm since the 26 November to be exact but when it gets to 38 weeks I'll have it any anywhere anytime.

Don't worry about our fluffiness after the birth - we'll cope fine with our too posh to push elective sections, bottle feeding with added rusks, weaning at 3 months, wearing disposables and sending them off into full time childcare at 4 months I just can't wait - it will be such jolly good fun.

divastropwantstodrop · 24/02/2007 20:37

eddas-i was going to say that!i don't think 'fluffy' would describe the march threads either

3andnomore · 24/02/2007 20:44

may i just say....stooooopid idea to fight wiht a pg woman????? surely we all know that!
Honestly though, I remeber being pg and well...just going of on anything, lol...isn't that normal and part of the parcel...?
pssst...if it isn't don't tell dh, he does believe in that !

mustrunmore · 24/02/2007 20:46

I just find it bizarre that anyone could get offended over a thread title, esp if its a thread not relevant to themselves. To me, that would be like having an extreme sensitivity to everything in the world. I might not like some adverts/programmes/attitudes for example, but only in passing. Unless they affect me, or are going to really hurt someone else.
Bizarre.
Bizarre.

3andnomore · 24/02/2007 22:29

another thing...just lets consider this is mumsnet...where cirtually everything is allowed...i.e. it isn't as monitored etc...as other boards....

Katy44 · 25/02/2007 08:56

7weeks, what happened on the 26th??
Just checking as it was my DH's birthday so it's quite likely I'm the same

7weeksandcounting · 25/02/2007 12:20

Katy - had sex ROFL! Poor dh a bit deprived!

Katy44 · 25/02/2007 12:28

No I guessed that - I meant what was the excuse!

7weeksandcounting · 25/02/2007 12:51

no occasion LOL - just his lucky day!

"By oops on Fri 23-Feb-07 23:26:05 "
they'll learn

fluffy goes out tha window when you are spraying milk everywhere and baby is blarting and you are eating cold rice pudding out of the tin whilst trying to get baby to sleep by pushing parm with your foot, dressed in PJs at 2pm, not habving washed or crapped that day....

UMMMMMMMMM - now let me see. Thinking back to those wonderful days.........eating cold rice pudding out of the tin. No, sorry don't seem to remember that one?

Way to organised for that I'm afraid.

Katy44 · 25/02/2007 20:44

Can I have sweetcorn instead? Don't like rice pudding and the thought of eating it cold makes me feel ill!

Sure most of the due in April-ers will have got used to the taste by now anyway, as there are only a small minority of us that are fluffy first timers.

opinionsrus · 25/02/2007 20:54

Better get practicising Katy - cos my eating cold rice pudding out of the tin techniques are a little rusty I don't know about you.Do you think I could swap it for something else???

Cold baked beans straight out of the tin now theres an offer. And if I'm really lucky a piece of stale bread to go with it.

Katy44 · 25/02/2007 20:59

What do you mean? That's what DH cooks already when it's his turn

opinionsrus · 25/02/2007 21:01

LOL

opinionsrus · 25/02/2007 21:02

I must admit I do remember quite a few takeaways and pizza......but cold rice pudding noooooooooooooo.

divastropwantstodrop · 25/02/2007 21:18

dont know about any of you april lot but i was always up/bathed/dressed and taking the washed/dressed dcs to school by 8.45 every morning,before dd2 was even a week old

Emmymummy · 26/02/2007 09:06

I can just remeber eating soup while trying to feed dd at the same time and having to keep a muslin on her head to stop me dropping it all over her. With hindsight soup probably wasn't the best thing to eat but it was all I could find in the bare cupboards.
