Is mumsnet International?

[Newtothisshiz]

Is it just brits using this or people from all over?

Australian in Australia but I found mumsnet while pregnant in the UK

Hej klaphat og **Velocitractor
I'm a Dane living in Denmark. Lived in Scotland for some years and found the credit crunchers and kinda just stayed.

Irish living in Ireland. Found mumsnet when living in England but now back in Ireland with English dh so back and forth a lot to in laws

Vyingforloc thank you for the insights into your world. I think parents here (in Ireland too) have to bring kids to school due to distances and traffic it would be quite unsafe to let young children walk when the roads are so busy. I did walk with friends when I was a child from about 7 but my own kids get dropped and collected. Mum gate things I guess is just non working mums meeting up at school gates after drop off to natter and then go for coffee or something - not quite sure I work so minder drops mine to school. As for playdates I guess it has come about because kids don't all live near each other and people are more worried now about kids out and about playing on their own. When I was a child I went out to play and called for friends as you describe but I do organise playdates for my kids with friends that don't live close. I have started letting my older kid (9) call on friends local to us and if you live near a green or something you often see kids out playing together with a parent or two keeping an eye

Vying, I have visited Lesotho, Maseru, as my sister lived in Lesotho for a few years. It's fascinating reading about your life. We in the U.K could take some tips from your way of life.

Are you worried about Trump in Lesotho ? I am praying that he is impeached and jailed asap!

I'm an American living in the UK married to a Brit. The anti-American sentiment has nearly driven me off a few times but the Christmas bargain threads and cleaning threads always lure me back in!

Australian who has lived in many countries, now very settled in Melbourne and full of fear and loathing of Trump.

Bummymummy, the Americans I have met have all been lovely. Not sure I have met any trump supporters though!

Another Brit in the Netherlands - hi all!

Trump is terrifying and we won't mention the B-word

Trump is a protectionist and I doubt he will be open to expanding trade in Africa. I suspect he will also undo George Bush's HIV/Aids provisions. He is a disaster to Africa.

He is a disaster to the world.

Brit in Brazil. Very worried about Trump.

Most Danes are also worried about Trump, he clearly think our country is run by communists

German in the UK for the last 23 years

Very aghast at the whole Trumpalump thing - the whole world should be!

Portuguese. Used to live in the UK.

Oh, I may be slightly worried about Trump. Perhaps a little overinvested, even.

I am from Denmark and lives in the Middle East (dubai), its international (if it was meant for just uk it would probably be mumsnet.co.uk and not .com)

vying depending on your area, a parent/carer MUST drop a child off to school til about 10 (different rules, different areas but I'm in London). You'd probably get into trouble sending your dc off alone and especially letting them walk home by themselves. My dd is 10 and has walked the very short walk to school by herself for about a year. I pick her up (but I have 3 younger school age children to collect as well - I accompany them to and from school).

I'm 45, there were no play dates growing up in suburban Melbourne, we were free to roam. I wouldn't do this on inner London.

If there was a big mumsnet community in Lesotho, what would a typical thread in chat or AIBU look like? What would be mutual threads of interest? Hope I'm making sense!

British but lived in HK for best part of a decade. Joined MN when I found I was pregnant with DC1. I still find a lot of stuff relevant, but sometimes I go to post something and realise my perspective is totally "off" and what I'm about to say has no relevance in the UK

imip MN Lesotho would have threads such as:

1. DH has not been back home from South Africa(SA) for the past 2 yrs. What should I do - and pls no LTBs
2. I suspect my neighbour/aunt/brother is HIV positive, he lost a lot weight, what do you think?
3. My neighbour does not greet me for no reason, what did I do?
4. Where can I buy traditional Sotho cloth to take to dressmaker
5. My neighbour's trees leaves fall on my neat garden/yard, AIBU to sweep back through her fence?
6. My sister did not dish food for DS when he visited dear nephew, AIBU to think she is unkind or has a dark heart
7. Blind gossip on the King's alleged wandering eye
8. Does SA still give out HIV anti-retrovals to Lesotho nationals?
9. I suspect my friend is having an affair with DH. They both work in the same city in SA

10. Neighbour bought a new coaches after seeing my new TV. Is she competing with me? 11. I am 16 years old, both my parents died of HIV and I look after my two young siblings. The 14 year old does not want to continue with school, what should I do?

I find we don't tend to complain about big issues, because we assume that's the way life has been and you should get on with it.

NZ here but lived in the UK and am outnumbered 2 to1 by British people in my own home

That narcissistic fascist scares the shit out of me.

Vyingforloc wow your life is probably very different from all of us. Really interesting.
