To ask for the most shocking threads you've seen

[FiddlesticksAndCustard]

Just that really, I love reading classics but thought I'd see if anyone remembered any others that we particularly funny/shocking/ full of CFs etc...

Yes, there was one where a little girl supposedly killed a family pet cat.
I think (thankfully) it was a troll.
The dettol cat this week was also upsetting.

Does anyone remember the thread - with a follow on thread, I think - about the OP who lived in a village, was having rubbish dumped at night, and the parish council, dog walkers, a night time prowler, a neighbour, OP's dog and an ineffectual pc or pso were all in the mix? Or am I confusing two separate OPs? I seem to remember that she disappeared when things got more worrying? Was there any update or outcome? I can't remember it being said that was a troll thread.

Years ago now but a current heroin addict and single mother who posted sounding completely lost. I contacted hq but there was nothing they could do.

Yes the cat Dettol one this week.
I remember one where a man would drop his DD off for an appointment each Saturday and he was using their toilet to do the stinkiest shit each week. Grim.

God just thought of this one based on other memories does anyone remember the obviously quite well to do woman with the two sons and she was posting because one of her sons was wonderful but the other in her words is a "lazy fat thief" - I think it got pulled but she really couldn't grasp that her hatred for him was part of the problem

the crying at art one remains a classic

Does anyone remember the thread where the breastfeeding OP was being made to live on things like tinned carrots by her 'D'H?

It was very sly abusive behaviour but it really stuck with me. I still look at tinned carrots to this day and wonder if she ever broke free

The reason it stuck with me is because she kept saying 'I'm actually quite hungry' and then realised she was starving

BBInGinDrinking

Yes I remember that as I worked out where it was, not that I said so, but I think several other people did too. I think OP got it pulled as she felt it was too identifying. No idea what happened though.

There used to be posts every now and again from a woman in a same sex relationship and her partner was very controlling about what they ate, they were like vegan plus plus. Only eating fruit that had fallen off the plant or something. It sounded like a horrible miserable existence, because it was all about control and not food.

Kerry definitely wasn't that one. This poster had a DH and he was vegetarian, but mainly vegan although made 'special allowances' for just him to eat certain products containing dairy

Sorry I wasn’t trying to imply it was the same person.

For me the most shocking was a thread by someone called something like nobblybobbly , a young mum to be who was admitted to hospital when her waters broke early.

She was posting for ages but halfway through was called out as a troll, everyone jumped on board and her threads were deleted.

A few months down the line her story was broadcast on one born every minute with the very sad conclusion that her darling son had died.

All her online support had been pulled out from underneath her when she needed it the most.

Mumsnet at its worst.

HalfBlood Yep, Mumsnet are for some reason extremely suspicious if anyone mentions teenage pregnancy or being a 'younger mum'

Oh Halfblood that is awful. Poor woman.

Thread about the thread, and people were still calling troll. Unbelievable.

There was a hilarious one years and years ago which started off quite seriously about Ghandi and how he wasn't all that when it came to women's rights. Someone (I want to say Reality?) came on just amazed and made a comment about how ridiculous it was to pick apart his attitudes which were typical of the time when he'd done so much for peace in India nonviolently and somehow inserted the sarcastic phrase "Yeah, that bastard Ghandi" and it kept coming up all over the site for ages and never failed to make me laugh.

There's a live one right now where OP is really very cross at George Ezra for swearing in one line of a song, because her toddlers like his music...

HalfBlood This thread ...

Oh that’s so lovely! All choked up 😢

Penis beaker , thats how i found mumsnet

Same here. Haven't found the way out yet....

I get real!y pissed off with the being blue lighted to hospital in an emergency ambulance posters, not such fucking emergencies that they can post poor me poor me on here.
Also got really upset at the drug addicted baby and it's foster mother who died thread. The one about the bird being spray painted was very funny

Two I recall very well

A lady who was getting abused by partner and after advice from mn planned her escape abroad to her parents. She kept updates throughout and came home while he was at work, her mate had her car and was going to sell it and send her the money and she made it to her parents. I was hooked praying she would get away and not get caught. Hope she is living a better life now.

Another one I remember was someone who was a hoarder that had got out of control and two mn women actually went to her house and helped clear and get rid of stuff. Very kind.

Enjoying this thread as it reminds me of some of the threads I've read over the years

Several threads where the OP confesses to doing something unspeakable in the face of their child being stubborn, with the usual predictable replies; most of them telling the OP what a terrible person she is, unfit to be a parent, needs professional help, and woe betide anyone who dares show sympathy. One such thread was in 2014, by somebody who calmly tipped a child's supper over her head. Lots of replies concerned the word "calmly". It was the first such thread I read on MN; I later discovered that others like it are all very similar. To find that one, search for "gravy the lot" (with the quotes).

I remember the dinner tipping one. I could relate as I’ve often felt like doing something similar but never acted upon it.
