Netmums?????

[Jaffacakecake1234]

Wjats the diffrence between mumsnet and netmums??

Netmums love all things MLM and allow all sorts of MLM shite posts. I post there only to post links to sites like botwatch and timeless vie . I've only been warned once....

Mumsnet won't tolerate any MLM shite, thankfully.

I can't navigate the site, it's mostly about babies.
There's nothing gritty or entertaining, nothing funny.
It just seems bland and beige with no substance at all.
What I imagine Stepford Wives to be like.

Dear god all this gratuitous swearing.Can I just say I ($$_)(@&%(&(%&#&% LOVE it?. This is my happy place smile*

You should hear DD's godparents (both ex-mormons)

"Oh my heck, this freaking witch just took the flipping Christmas tree we wanted. I'm so peeved"

Thanks for bringing this up. I always thought they were part of the same company as the layout. A few times I've intended to go to mumsnet, but have ended up at netmums and find it's a bit difficult to navigate around

*as the layout looks similar

MrsMarigold things like "Worried sick, bf's ex has told the police he touched their daughters but she's an evil cow. Yes he admits he did flirt with her 12 year old niece but he was depressed at the time and she looks much older" etc (that's a made-up example btw but very close to real posts).

I think the "lying to your social worker" thread has gone now though

Nethuns don't like brains..

Another one banned from NM here Back in 2009 for the lowest of my netmum crimes

Anyone remember chicken nugget salad, the boy on the dog lead and that blinking Karen with her space rocket, Jag with cream leather interior and walnut dash and diamond encrusted toilet? (Karen was the resident troll. At least she was funng)

I found the whole look and feel of Nethuns irritating.

I thought you needed to have had a sense of humour bypass to post there.

Not my cup of tea. I prefer the call a spade a spade way of things here. Here we tell it like it is and love a good bun fight debate.. There they pussyfoot around.

'Let's go get your daughter' HELP they are something from Dr Who or Stepford.

I need a fucking cunting bollocks now. Much better

It's shite. When I found out I was pregnant at 19 I was terrified, NM seemed friendly and shiny so I posted there for advice about wanting to carry on with uni. Responses were either "u won't b able to hun drop out xxx" or "HOW DARE YOU GALLIVANT AT UNIVERSITY WITH MY TAX MONEY AFTER HAVING A BABY???".

I reported them. Netmums blocked me for "not using my real name" as my username (I was using my shortened name ) but did nothing about the arseholes.

I came to MN, got loads of support and reassurance, met a fantastic antenatal group who I've met in real life and now I refuse to leave

Bloody hell Ive never actaully been on netmums before i told an aquatince at the nursery gates about mumsnet as ive not long joined amd told her to give it a try (even though there a few wankers on there that like to think their in your brain and now that you want to be 'superior' jog on love.... Anyway she said shes on netmums and then we parted so thought id ask since its such a wonderful place full of witty ass people (im looking at you doyouwantabrew 😊 so please dont makeout like ive started this thread to feel superior. If thats what you do great have fun with it.. Pal

Sorry i lie i had a browse before and there alot of pictures of baby scans

It's really slow and dull. It moves nothing like the pacecof mumsnet - i really struggle to believe they have such a big membership base. They don't discuss that many issues in the news - have a look at their chat news section and the general chat sections. There are some lovely intelligent posters but tbh it's easier to stand out over there and sound more informed. On Mn you can get lost in the mad scrum of debate.

I was on it for years before I found MN. It's fairly similar but you can't voice your opinion as freely as here. You will get jumped on for not automatically agreeing with the op. I found it really frustrating.

...oh and I had to come off it when someone told me my exs wife at the time was stalking me and copy and pasting every post I ever made to "use against me if she needed"

Only ever looked at netmums when stuff has come up from a google search (even then I quickly realised they didn't seem like my tribe) but I am absolutely loving hearing about how people managed to get banned from it!!

Have had to NC as this could out me, for anyone on both. My experience of NM's is very different to the ones here. I have met some amazing people on there from all different walks of life, and I am so far not been banned completely, but one of the things I did do was I found the word cunting would get past the swear filter, I used that word for all it was worth for a good 3 weeks till I got reported for it.

and this is why I stick with MN, I get straight fucking answers and proper advice if I need it, can do the same. I have never ventured over to netmums nor have I had any want to

Mumsnet posts tend to be more legible, with better punctuation and grammar.

CUNTING BOLLOCKS you are back with us.

I just went for an investigate; I've only read it when it's come up as a google search (on pregnancy). (And never especially useful.)

My god it's tedious. I find it hard to navigate too. There's actually a lot of philosophical discussion and debate on mn. The only place I know of really, I've learnt an awful lot about life through reading posts by knowledgeable posters.

Yes, is like to reiterate this comment:

Mumsnet posts tend to be more legible, with better punctuation and grammar.

I just went for a little investigation too. Because I've also only ever used it when it comes up in searches for local info. I concur Ekphrasis. It is tedious and hard to navigate. The majority of posters seem to be lacking in personality. Or maybe lacking in self assurance or self awareness or something. Is it because big brother mother is watching over them????

It used to be a lot better but now its predominantly parenting/pregnancy. Find it hard to find a thread that actually interests me these days.

If a word accidently gets past the swear filter even if its not the whole word/asterisked out you get a warning!

Used to be lots of random threads which were hilarious, could spend lots of time there laughing out loud and joining in, now there is none.

There are a few who think that they are experts on everything and god help you if you disagree! Especially about polotics or 'benefit bashing' threads! Have seen one of them state that someone on 'benefits' was shameful to save up for a bottle of wine now and again because if they could afford wine they were obviously getting too much benefits and were living the life of riley. They had absolutely no right to do what they wanted with the benefit money 'X' had paid for out of their wages!

There are some lovely people on there who have the sense to speak up when necessary, call a spade a spade and tell you to stfu but sometimes the 'huns' dont like that Sometimes insulting posts are left up and the people calling posters out on them get pulled!

If you mention feminism or trans activists, mysoginy etc you get your arse handed on a plate, I think they are all in denial over there, have seen it more than once so I never post on one of those threads on NM just look on in disbelief.

And the textspeak! Really its a discussion forum for adults not high school!

And they are quite happy for MLM people to get round the advertising ban by posting about their 'wonderful business' and to 'pm me hun' to every vulnerable person who starts a thread about looking to earn a bit more money from home. Its bloody awful, how many get sucked in?

Used to love NM but rarely go on these days, much more adult conversation on MN and straight to the point, less moderating, plus learned a lot more on here than I ever did over there
