To think that sending a link to the thread never ends well

[Someoriginalfeatures]

So many times I’ve seen people suggest the OP should send the link to the person it concerns, or indeed the person themselves says they are gong to share it.

Can this ever end well? I for one would be incensed if sent a link about me on mumsnet - and I don’t consider myself one of the very unreasonable people who are the subject of some threads!!

I think sometimes it could be a good thing to see what other think of something you have done, but then, I do think we have to remember there are 3 sides to every story. The person telling it, the other person involved, and the truth.

Sometimes more than 3.

Yeah I can't imagine I'd ever say "well Mumsnet says..."

There is some crazy advice handed out on here - and people suggesting sending a link to the thread is usually up there with the stupidest advice

I like doing it to my husband to show him what a colossal arse he has been. Usually works, too.

I've discussed a few with my Husband - especially when they concern something he's guilty of!! (Noisy eating for example) I of course am an angel and would never be the subject of any threads......

I think some people have a very insulated opinion of how mn is seen by outsiders..

Theres no twitter account highlighting fully rounded, well argued posts from mn

I recognised my family in a thread my MIL put on Gransnet. I was and still am baffled as to why she didn’t come to us first, given our good relationship, and the advice given to her was batshit crazy. She did in fact talk to us in the end and it was fine (and I love her!) but I think a) people should think carefully about posting and b) no one should know you’ve done it as it is a weird feeling. Yes, I realise the irony of posting about my MIL posting about us.
