why do people on here feel the need to be so dramatic?

[amb885]

not a thread about a thread, i saw on another thread someone telling the op to 'move out. now' over a minor inconvenience with her dh aibu to think people on here are unnecessarily dramatic?

Does anyone remember the thread where the OP said that she thinks someone chucked a packet of poppy seeds around her street as there were now great big red poppies everywhere but in a messy order and likened it to an unshaven bikini line?

One (very early) reply, and it was a serious one said something like "How disrespectful to our war veterans they'd be horrified to know you think so little of the poppy". 😂😂😂

It’s madness how many people say the husband is controlling/abusive/a bastard after hearing one side of an argument. It’s automatic, just leave immediately, there is no option to work at a relationship, you must go right now.

Well the second half is right, but we can only go on the side of the story we have, and have to assume it’s an accurate representation. My pet peeve on here is when a story is presented and you have multiple other posters making up these convoluted, overly-involved back stories. It’s like, he didn’t do the dishes like he promised because he’s a lazy slob, not because he’s depressed and overworked and has an ill elderly relative he’s not told you about.

@MsEllany Yes exactly. He didnt do the dishes because he doesnt have to, & because hes lazy! Not because hes having an existential crisis! Its not because his mum made him do dishes & hes traumatised. Hes a lazy fucker & you need to stop pandering to him.

Some people are dramatic in real life too but yes you are right I've never heard as much dramatic views on mumsnet . I honestly have visions of some people on mumsnet hiding under the stairs since March living off pasta , their only pleasure is going on mumsnet telling anyone how schools should stay closed and you are going to hell if you don't wear a mask .

Or alternatively, if you do wear a mask you're one of the EVIL MASK POLICE who will shout at people for not wearing one

What, over dramatic? Over dramatic?

well, I just can’t even

Everyone who just is an unpleasant person is a narcissistic psychopath.

This thread is making me giggle - since I’ve started using MN, I look at people in real life and expect them to be annoyed with me because I breathed the wrong way.

Yes, and I'm
Amazed at some of the relaxed parents I've come across. Who actually pass their babies around. And don't mind me picking their baby up for a cuddle. (I'm a paediatric nurse) And don't take them to A&E because they grazed their knee.

And if your husband acts like a dick you need to ring Womens Aid RIGHT NOW. Of course that means the women who really are getting the shit beaten out of them or being starved to death cant get through, but never mind eh?

A man who's unhappy in his marriage must be having an affair.

I am devastated by this thread, so broken by the heartlessness of so many posters that I literally feel like I can't go on. I'm crying while I type this.

@AlternativePerspective

I am livid reading this post. Livid I tell you.

Just the other day I was reading something and I couldn’t read till the end of it because I was sobbing so hard...

I absolutely detest the term “trigger warning” someone seriously suggested recently that a thread about spiders should contain a trigger warning.... And people agreed with them... I really wonder how some people manage to function in the real world when everything is “triggering” to them....

You've obviously not been in an abusive relationship or raped, or arachnophobia, otherwise you wouldn't have a laugh at people's expense who have the chance to avoid threads that would be deeply disturbing to them, because they contain the words "Trigger Warning". It isn't done for shit and giggles, it's to support real people who've been to hell and back.

Had an argument with your DH? DC's stressing you out? Book a spa weekend and don't tell anyone where or when you're going - just leave one day for your much deserved weekend away.

Of course you must be able to afford it, everyone has a few hundred or thousand pounds to spare.

Everyone else has 19 spa weekends away a year, so you must as well.

Does your DH have an unusual hobby which he does once a week for an hour which you dare not mention as it's 'outing' ?

As soon as us MNers find out that the bastard is walking or even worse, cycling, then it's time to pack his bags and show him the door

I suggest you all need to do the Freedom Programme

@Girlzroolz Am also fuming

But do you have the rage?
Do your teeth itch?
Do you have anxiety issues?

I find a fondness for drama and the use of hyperbole tends to occur in those who are somewhat lacking in intelligence. It's a form of mental stimulation for them.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it you pesky drama lamas 😜

@TrickyD
Not only are my teeth itchy, they are also anxiously raging.

I am furious on their behalf.

Found a gem: small kid ate 2/3 of a box of chocolate and OP is MORTIFIED :)

Agree with others: how do these people cope with everyday shit?

I'm so glad I found this thread. I often think I'm in a parallel universe on Mumsnet because some things are so dramatic. Particularly the not answering the door and perfectly normal things like someone using your toilet or not washing your towels every day being described as minging and gross.

2/3s of a box of chocolates would be a win in this house, I literally have to stash my treats in an empty granola box so my kids don't get them first

I too am FURIOUS because I somehow have not seen any of the threads mentioned here!!!!

This thread has me fumming (a bit like fuming) and discusted. I've logged it with 101 and they're sending someone round. I'm hoping I'll be in when they get here because I have to get to A & E as the woman next door sneezed this morning, she's a selfish bint like that so the house will have to go on the market too. Busy day.

Same here. But son found my hidden stash. Have to look for a new hiding place :)

We regularly have chocolate nights. About every 6 months there is nothing else, but chocolate for dinner. Many types of course.
Next day somehow veggies go down easier :)

I read the one about the two year old and the box of chocolates and was tempted to reply when they asked what would happen with, when mine did that he threw up over the floor, I cleaned it up, he felt grim and we just, I don't know, somehow, just fucking moved on 🙄

Now if my dog had eaten the chocs (or her dog if she has one) it would be different..
