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

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.

Sadiee88 · 29/01/2020 05:02

[hmm]@BBInSleepsCounting
not a clue what you mean. Hmm
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.

NiteWotcha · 29/01/2020 05:04

NM is another site

this is MN

far-fetched stories ?

whatever do you mean?! Wink

Sadiee88 · 29/01/2020 05:06

@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 Grin just seems like a lot of nonsense.... mostly.

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

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.

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 29/01/2020 05:16

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.

maras2 · 29/01/2020 05:31

You couldn't say bugger over there. Smile

FagAsh · 29/01/2020 06:20

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

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

MN: Actual dialogue.

SlothHouse · 29/01/2020 06:34

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?

SlothHouse · 29/01/2020 06:35

I'm half asleep.....

BecauseReasons · 29/01/2020 06:36

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

Sleeveen · 29/01/2020 06:37

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

ThatThereWoman · 29/01/2020 06:44

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.

BaolFan · 29/01/2020 07:11

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!
