to think mumsnet is full of middle class" bores"

[talulasmum]

admittedly, ive only been a member for a few months, but i have come to this conclusion. take today for instance. the main topic of conversation on this section is; parents of 5 year olds worried about which senior school to go to? on that thread is the biggest bore & snob you will ever have the misfortune to meet. this popular thread is closely followed by mums worried about whats in their kids packed lunch? mums get a life! im off for a fag.

It actually took me a few seconds to get it.

I think I need seom fresh air!

Can I just say, I didnt do the chav test. I feel I am above all of that poppycock.

just to update the 2 of you that have at least laughed along with me, rather than at me. this afternoon i was finally broken (one fuck off too many!) made the mistake of admitting this. was told;

firstly; im on the edge of sanity to be upset by words on a screen. i can only assume that cyber bullying hasnt reached the dinning rooms of notting hill. if i only learn one thing from munsnet its this; if i can be upset by " words on a screen" what the hell does cyber bullying do to kids?

secondly; im not really entitled to be upset, and should go and read the miscarriage/ bereavement section, to see what "upset" really means. ive had 2 miscarriages so i know bloody well what being really upset means. but does that mean that if you havent suffered in this way you should be permanently happy?

and lastly; now this one really took me by surprise; im as bonkers as someone auditioning for XFACTOR.

bonkers; me; NO WAAAAY

Not unreasonable to think it.

Highly unreasonable to say so publicly though, and then get annoyed that people respond negatively.

There are masses and masses and masses of chat sites out there in internetland, which are not frequented by the educated middle classes. (Or bores, if you will.) Surely you could find one which suits you?

I'm sorry to hear of your miscarriages talulasmum

Wish I lived in Notting Hill

talulasmum if you want to quote me do it properly, ffs, I was one of the few people that was nice to you today, but now you can stick it up yer arse.
And what I said was not in anyway related to you getting upset over being told to fuck off.
you said
3) i probably need more help and advice than you lot put together.
at which point I told you to ask for help rather than just slag us all off.

meowmix then said........
But to come along and effectively imply we're all silly airheads with no worries of our own is not the way to gain sympathy. Many of the parents on here have faced truly horrific and difficult times that you know nothing about as yet.

At which point I told you... ^maybe if you posted about what problems you're facing people would give you some insight into what they are/have been through, then you'd realise that even 'middle class' folk have worries.
Maybe you should go on the bereavement/miscarriage/conception threads and read some truly heartaching stories written by a middleclass hand.^

Where have I told you you can't be upset??
and

HOW
THE
FUCK
AM
I
TO
KNOW
YOUVE
MISCARRIED???

Don't you bloody dare compare what you "went through" to kids being bullied via the internet. First of all, you are an adult and made the choice to come to MN and continue to post. Second, you are an adult and (I am guessing) are more mature and better equiped to deal with uncomfortable situations. You are also more than capable of turning the computer off if it gets too much. And you are in no fear of a fellow MNer coming to your home and harming you in anyway.

Many kids out there are bullied every day, but not on MN. Sorry, but you are taking a very serious issue and trivialising for your own gain.

Get over yourself!!

BTW, Notting Hill is so last millennium. Keep up will you!
And as far as your MC...Have you though that maybe other on MN have suffered from the same??

Why, oh why am I rising to this???

bump and TM - welcome to MN
