To think some people just come on here to argue?

[mymilisbatshit]

I swear some people just come on here to argue and make other parents feel like utter shit! Almost every post on here someone comes onto and finds a way of giving the OP some abuse.

I thought this site was to help each other and give advice. You know a support network.

I could literally write something like 'saw a cute kitty today' or 'had a banging cuppa' I bet someone would cause an argument! I wish some people would just get a grip! Bet it makes them feel really big hiding behind a keyboard!

Yes a lot do.

Care 😡

In fairness to you op I haven't seen your other threads but I'm going to AS and if I fiind anything I'll have a bone to pick with you.

What does AS mean? Sorry I'm not too great with abbreviations.

What's a 'banging cuppa' misses point of thread

I just came to read the comments 👀

I'm sure someone will be along with a genuine irritation at your OP....

Piglet, usually a cup of tea made with pg tips, full fat milk and 3 sugars.

Milk before water aswell

Even better If it's at someone else's house, they made it and you eat all their biscuits.

Totally... it's like mean girls on here. Same people all the time.

Yanbu op. I remember posting once about my dds school being unable to spell her name correctly.
A couple of people on the thread wouldn't give up stating how trivial it was etc etc and pointing out one auto-correct fail in my post. That person was happy to contribute on numerous occasions though.

AIBU is entertainment, not support... isn't it?

Shit, was I supposed to be supportive and not just throwing in my twopence worth to kill time while I wait for DS to poo?

I think I know what you mean op, it feels there is often negativity for the sake of it! For example there was a thread where someone had finally narrowed their baby name choices to two names which they loved and asked mn's to help choose... it was a happy wee thread, and people were posting comments like 'they are both horrendous.' Seriously?! perhaps that wasn't the thread for you! Why comment at all?

I think it is because people who disagree are more likely to respond. if you agree and there are several comments to that point there isnt much one can say

YANBU. No matter how obviously lighthearted the thread, you're sure to get some idiot coming on accusing the OP of over-dramatising or something equally ridiculous.

Yes, Navy. Mean Girls. You know... you go Glen Coco, Regina George, Gretchen Weiners?

Why use MN if you think it's full of mean girls?

Yes I know what you mean OP but I really didn't like the humping baby and kissing toddlers on the lips threads. They made me feel sick

I don't think anyone said it was 'full' of mean girls, did they?

There are many, many wonderful posters who don't try to turn everything into a bunfight.

That's totally fair enough but surely if you don't like them you wouldn't read them or comment on them.

Yes exactly! It tends to be the same people who are 'mean' ... I feel sad for them.
