To want to give up Mumsnet

despite the fact that i have had some smashing support from you guys and some real laughs at some of the treads.

Im spending far to much time on the computor, my house is a tip, i dont much care about that but im neglecting my life. There is more to life than being a mum (well a bit) what i mean by that is i am losing my identity - first and foremost are my children, i love them dearly. My DP is lovely and im neglecting him in many ways. I went out with my pre baby friends last night and i was me again. I realised, i quite like me i am actually a fun person. I just think that MN has been fueling my self pity of late and i have dwelling in a pit of worry and self hatred. So today i posted a huge rant about someone who really pissed me off, probably does mumsnet too so massive social faux pas but i think im going to call it quits for the summer.

THanks guys for all the support offered and the great conversations but i need to get out there an be more than i am just now. I dont think it is mumsnet that is the problem for me, but the bloody computor is becoming a surrogate social circle.

So, Tirrah All

Oh I pop into RL loads! ...

I get wrapped up in it for a bit and then come back on here for inspiration, camaraderie and a barrell full of laffs ..etcetera

(I tend to veer towards RL when things go a bit haywire on here , as such)

(how very rude of me not to say so in my last post ... which was all about me, ME, ME)

I'm not as bad I used to be, I can leave it for weeks at a time, but you have to be careful whenyou dip in,or you'll get sucked right back in

So completely understand what you mean lucyellensmum, goodluck!!
