To think a lot of MN threads are quite frankly neurotic at best and f*cking Batshit at worst?!

Oh no, now there's two pics, but you get my drift. Grin

Locks catflap, sits back and opens a packet of Dreamies...

Crispaficionado · 26/01/2020 18:33

seriously though, isn't mumsnet the place you come to air trivial disagreements? The Christmas ones always get me down, some day my kids will go onto mumsnet to groan about presents/having to visit me/anything at all...

NaviSprite · 26/01/2020 18:36

Well it’s a public forum so of course the subjects will vary massively and we can’t all focus on the big issues all of the time otherwise we’d be talking in circles (or posting in them anyway) and getting nowhere/driving ourselves mad!

Besides who decides what’s a big issue and what isn’t when it comes to personal situations? What you might consider a minor issue could be the shit hitting the fan to somebody else.

But there are some really bizarre threads and batshittery I’ll give you that Smile

I suspect there are a lot of bored mums, posting about things that don't actually bother then much. And a few neurotic types.

OldEvilOwl · 26/01/2020 18:40

YABU this is not just a forum for serious first world problems

NoSauce · 26/01/2020 18:47

Yes most of the MIL and SIL ones are total bollocks or exaggerated at least.

Sparklingbrook · 26/01/2020 18:49

Parking threads are the worst. Who cares? And no I don't need to see a diagram.

SimonJT · 26/01/2020 18:50

Yes, but when I read them I feel incredibly normal!

Alsohuman · 26/01/2020 18:52

Absolutely the parking ones. Life’s too bloody short.

ALongHardWinter · 26/01/2020 18:56

Threads that censor swear words irritate the shit out of me.

Sparkling Sweary Thomas has made my weekend!

MintySpud · 26/01/2020 18:57

Yp, ttally agr*. Slly fuckers.

thistimelastweek · 26/01/2020 18:57

The Venn diagram of MN would definitely show up for parking/C.F. neighbours.

MintySpud · 26/01/2020 18:58

Sweary Thomas restored my faith on humanity. Almost.

Firstawake · 26/01/2020 18:59

If you don't like what you read, it's not the place for you.
Go and fix the world.

Sparklingbrook · 26/01/2020 19:00

Sweary Thomas is very useful for all sorts of occasions. Grin

Some make me tut and roll my eyes - but I just click on another thread instead and don’t get too bothered! Grin

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 26/01/2020 19:05

No shit. I come here every day regardless Blush

BecauseReasons · 26/01/2020 19:05

What, like this one?

Brilliant response. Grin

Lifeonmars77 · 26/01/2020 20:54

Sorry, FUCKING batshit. Only used the * to avoid any offence. The truth is, I don't fucking, cunting care about my language to be honest! Pardon my not being completely open the first time.

I get this is a chat forum. I get that people can openly chat about any trivial shit they wish. But some of it? Really? What a pile of snivelling bullshit. And that is my own, trivial, chatty opinion... which I'm entitled to just like everyone else Grin

That's not to say I don't find some of it Entertaining, which is why I'm still here... incase any of you were wondering why I haven't fucked off if it bothers me so much (it doesn't... I have much bigger concerns) so will be staying. Ta x
