Wjats the diffrence between mumsnet and netmums??

OP posts:
TinfoilHattie · 30/03/2017 20:52

The people who are on Netmums in my experience are younger, less educated and like glitter, sparkles and "hun".

Here is more educated, more intelligent, less "you're babee you're rulez, hunny"

Dontactlikeyouknowme · 30/03/2017 20:54

MN is full of your baby/house your rules posts. Don't kid yourself it isn't.

Doyouwantabrew · 30/03/2017 20:54

jaffa Grin

On Netmuns Younique is seen as an excellent business opportunity for mums and allowed to advertise.

On MN it is multi-level marketing and the spawn of satan.

ArriettyClock1 · 30/03/2017 20:55

There used to be a marked social divide, when MN was smaller.

Now, it's much of a muchness with marginally less 'hunning' on here.

DioneTheDiabolist · 30/03/2017 20:56

MNetters tend to call Netmums Netmums or Nethuns. "The other place" is a forum here. OP, are you looking for people to slang off NMs? If so that's pretty immature. Different strokes and all that. If you really want to know what it's like, have a look yourself. It's just another parenting website, you won't be eaten or shot with a glitter gun just for looking.

Doyouwantabrew · 30/03/2017 20:57

evadne rather be a cunt than a Hun! Grin brilliant

Sounds a tad count downish.

I have been a mumsnetter for 10 years and never strayed. I think I might tonight and report back!

WhiskeySourpuss · 30/03/2017 20:57

You get banned for shit like calling people a cuntpuddle & telling people that they're a judgemental cow who needs to come down off the high horse that she shouldn't be on in the first place not that I did such things

Also you're only allowed to agree with the OP:

yes there's a line congrats babe no there fucking isn't a line except the one you drew on with a sharpie

Aww that's a lovely name who the fuck would call their kid Pikachu

I can't believe your MIL would dare offer to babysit take the break you fucking halfwit

There's an ear piercing/circumcision/vaccination thread every few weeks which always descend into chaos

But other than that it's great - my all time favourite was the evolution thread & the whack jobs that suggested the dinosaurs weren't real but aliens are Hmm

Huh, cool :D

TheFormidableMrsC · 30/03/2017 20:58

I posted on Netmums once in a desperate state (possible termination), my God the JUDGING. I mean it's not like judging here where people rudely, openly judge you and tell you you're a cunt which, frankly, I much prefer. No, this was insidious judging such as "well if you can live with yourself" or "have you considered reading the Bible" and "perhaps you should stop being so selfish and consider childless couples". That sort of thing. It was the very last thing I needed to hear at that time and I immediately closed my account and never went back. Here, if I've needed help, I've got it, no questions asked. Much better Gin

ExplodedCloud · 30/03/2017 20:59

*elQuintoConyo

I got banned for posting a picture of John Hamm's cock*

Well to be fair that's quite a big thing Grin

RebelRogue · 30/03/2017 21:00

@WhiskeySourpuss I feel your pain hun GrinGrinGrin

BlueVelvetCupcake · 30/03/2017 21:00

On net mums if you're on benefits then you obviously haven't worked hard enough in life.

MrsEvadneCake · 30/03/2017 21:01

Doyouwantabrew I got banned from there years ago and wandered over here. Best banning ever because I like being told if I need a grip and the mental health boards were the saving of me at one stage.

If you go I'll tie some rope round you and pull you back should you need rescuing Grin

Tapandgo · 30/03/2017 21:01

What's a ticker?

kierenthecommunity · 30/03/2017 21:01

and my favourite 'guess the gender from my scan pic

Not the 'flavour'? Grin

LuxuryWoman2017 · 30/03/2017 21:02

Oh and J-Cub. That is a thread I'll never forget on netmums.
One Christmas there was a thread where netmums users came over here to defend their Christmas threads. I got quite friendly with one of them in the end, lovely young woman Laura.

Babyroobs · 30/03/2017 21:04

I got a lifetime ban from Netmums for nothing in particular ! It is rubbish.

LuxuryWoman2017 · 30/03/2017 21:05

Sorry, I should have explained a poster wanted to call their future, not yet conceived baby boy J-Cub. Epic thread.

MrsEvadneCake · 30/03/2017 21:06

Tickers...along the bottom of your posts with your username. Sparky often. Marking events.

Netmums?????
OdinsLoveChild · 30/03/2017 21:06

MrsEvadneCake I got banned there too and staggered over here waves.

Tapandgo a ticker is some sparkly shit banner thing at the bottom of the page showing the ages of your yet to be conceived/unborn child/newborn child/toddler/tweenager/teenager/adult child Hmm I think they also count how many days to your holiday to Disneyworld Butlins/Pontins/LEGOLAND etc

Oh and the spelling is different over here, its a bit like being American (any other forriner) in the UK. It sort of looks the same and sort of sounds the same but its very very different

I hot banned for quote "accusing someone for using drugs and calling them a troll" . My exact comment was "don't worry this is either some pot induced nonsense or complete bs".
