To introduce mumsnetty hugs?

[cakeymccakington]

So, I know traditionally hugs are not a MN "thing"
I still see a lot of people offering "unmumsnetty" hugs to posters who need them.

Well I think we should just embrace our loveliness and just have mumsnetty hugs!
Because we can show our affection without turning into huns from netmums.

Who's with me???

HUGS FOR EVERYONE

Still drunk dear?

It's a much sadder world without a hug, for me anyway..so I'm in

I'm in

Ye gods, you'll be wanting to call everyone hun and have a sparkling line of shit under every post next

No no I draw the line at tickers. Do they still even exist??

HUGS for all you scrooges

((((((((Madd Hugs))))))) for All

There are some proper moody fuckers on mumsnet. It's probably best if I refuse all hugs.

I'm not hugging anyone on a head lice thread!

I find the hugging a bit cringe if I’m honest.

So I think yabu.

I cringe at virtual hugs given to strangers.

Yep one still a tad drunk here, the odd hug here and there doesn’t go amiss but agree non on head lice threads.

I struggle with giving and receiving hugs irl frankly.

So long as you don't call me hun while doing it. Boak.

I'm trying to remember the last time I gave someone a hug, apart from parents and various partners, I think it was probably 1965 so not about to start hugging on here

TheMaddHugger 's been giving out mumsnetty hugs for ageeeeeees.

No thanks

I find the hugging a bit cringe if I’m honest

So do I. And the word 'unmumsnetty' makes me want to stab something.

Fwiw I don't do much hugging irl but there's nothing wrong with a virtual hug for someone in need. I always find it silly and cringey when I read 'unmumsnetty' before hug on here, especially when someone is in a real crisis and hurting You are just trying to be a decent human being and offer some comfort, surely.

A hug now and then won't turn you into a nethun.

Just let's not start dishing them out like sweets, okay.

I hate people I don't know touching me.
And you can feck off with your internet hugs too.
Yuck.

I don't think anyone wants to hug you Nubbled so you can calm down 😂

Aww, Nubbled calm down Hun and come on over here. #hug#hun#babe#feeling blessed#irritatingNubbledyet?
