AIBU to think a fair few NM posts are far fetched?

[Sadiee88]

I’m fairly new to NM.

Is it just me or are a considerable amount of posts almost book worthy, the scenarios are so elaborate.

A fair few posts get taken down for one reason or another, the OP just leaves the thread....

Wrong site, OP.

[hmm]@BBInSleepsCounting
not a clue what you mean.
Already there are threads where other posters are the legitimacy of the op?

Do you mean Mumsnet?

Netmums, aka NM, is a different site.

But yes, both are full of trolls and fantasists, unfortunately.

NM is another site

this is MN

far-fetched stories ?

whatever do you mean?!

@dramaAlpaca sorry oops! Yes, I was wondering if the other site was any better, have typed the wrong one. Bugger!
Never mind, they are both as bad as each other then.
Time for me to leave just seems like a lot of nonsense.... mostly.

Thanks for your humble apology - for your mistake in rudely tagging me in with twin s OP - as you slope off out of the door.

It's much better here though. I never got on with the other site tbh, too twee for me. Just take most threads with a pinch of salt, don't get over invested and you'll be fine. There's a great sense of community here if you look for it and stay away from, eg, AIBU - which, let's face it, is a bear pit.

The thing about MN is they tell you what you need to hear. On the 'other' site you are told what you want to hear. I know where I'd rather be.

And with that, I'm off to bed.

It depends what board you're on @sandiee88, most are quite useful, while some (aibu) seem to have frequent troll stories, but they get picked up relatively fast.

It really corms down to what you are looking for as to how useful the site is to you. One of my closest friends hates both and thinks they're a waste of time, whereas I have found it very helpful, especially when I've been struggling but not wanted to talk to anyone irl about it yet.

You couldn't say bugger over there.

Well.... Adios then
Go and get your deeep and meaningfuls from net mums

NM: OMG hunny babezses hubby mumma to 2 princesses ❤️❤️❤️😇💁‍♀️👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🌸🌻🌸🌺💕💞💓💖

MN: Actual dialogue.

I'm neutral most of the time because people are different.

We all live differing lives with unique experiences. So if something sounds a bit "far-fetched" then I can easily put it down to the differences among humans being dissimilar.

Does that make sense?

I'm half asleep.....

There's an area called 'flouncer's corner' you can post in if your only intention is to flounce off, OP.

Well, it was really worth joining Mn and posting your meaningful and original thoughts before you flounced, wasn’t it?

yes there's a few absolute fantasists and liars on here. Just accept everything with a pinch of salt and don't get too invested.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out then. I'm sure we all feel better that you took the trouble of signing up to tell us how shit the site is. Ta-ra!
