aibu to think mn should be for mums and not dads.

[2hot2cook]

id like to think that when i come on here for a quick chat im talking to other women. ive noticed some men on here and thats actually putting me off. some of the topics we talk about are very intimate. i cant understand why men would want to come on this website, maybe the name should be changed to parentnet. aibu.

I have to add one more thing!! I am offended that OP says DH should be fixing car and she should be chatting and men on here arent manly!

My DH is about as macho as they come but he loves to chat!! He talks to many women on the internet (behave you lot!!) on various hobby type things and he does ALL the food shopping and I fix the car!!!!

Ok the 2 rums I've had are taking hold so will bow out now ....til after tea anyway and if I can beat DH onto the pc will be back!!

See you all on another thread.

Oh now I have to add something else!!!!

I adore football!

And motorbikes and fast cars and driving like a wild thing (without DD3 in car) but as I look down at my rather hefty cleavage I can tell you I am most definitely a woman!!

Hi there, 2hot. To answer your op..imo - YABU. It's a parenting forum. I think there should be more men on here. It's too full of women. After you've been on here a while you syncronise. This place is PMS hell.

Seriously, I don't want to push fathers aside.

Stop talking to her nannynick, she doesn't like it

CHILDLESS MAN !!!!!

Er, EXCUSE ME, did I not draw a under this thread! God, you'd think I wasn't in charge or something!

nob off Of course, sorry.

The thread thats on at the mo about the husband who is concerned about his wife struggling to bf made me well up not only coz I sympathize as I remember going through that but I was moved by his concern and obvious love for her and her wellbeing. I cant c anything wrong with that he needed advice and where better to come than aload of mums who have been there

punches smiles sweetly at Colditz

it's good to get a mans perspective on things, and i'm sure they have learned ALOT interacting on here... maybe better husbands/fathers/partners as a result..

What's mumsnet got - 10,000 posters including men. Someone comes on and yells - I've just joined and I don't like men, change your forum to fit me

And expects people to do it? F'kin hell.

I like chatting to men.

All other posters could be men pretending to be women - how the hell do you know? Anything you post on the internet is public and could be read by anyone, anywhere. SO don't post things you're uncomfortable with men or anyone else reading.

You're entitled to your views, but they are outdated. As a result you have to expect alot, in this case, all, will disagree with them.

I'm f'kin glad my dp doesn't seperate things into 'mens' and 'womens' work. I be pissed if he did.

ahem, since men were involved/instrumental/boffing us laydees to get us up the nelly duff, mebbe they are entitled to a wee word too

o unless like me the fairies brought the baby - no boffing involved

I found my ds in the cabbage patch so ner, no man involved

i fell pregnant whooooooooops on byres road - next thing a baby

OK, I know this should be dead now - but 2hot, the OP here should really convince you as to why men should be "allowed" on here.

Bloody hell, woman, it's not rocket science; if you don't like it, bugger off somewhere where the posters are more to your liking.

It's ever so simple - you take us as we come, and if you don't like what you find then it's not the site for you.

yab well U.

fgs. its a computer. its not like you have to stand up naked and talk to everyone while they are writing down your name and address and a short comment on your pubes. get over it.

Actually, some of us do keep basic files on MNersand their proclivities...

Norty norty snaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oi snaf-wahey there sis the pictures of me, the baby oil, the sporran, the big scotsman....have you seen them?

what is in your card index missy

I'll simply say this: Don't Ever Cross Me.

Your posts are terribly rude 2hot as most of the men on mn were here before you. You can't expect the whole ethos of the site to change just because you want it to. Mn is something you do voluntarily and you can chose to go elsewhere if you don't like it. That said there is NO WHERE on the internet that will be solely occupied by women.

do you have max clifford on speed dial. zoom lens on the ivy, network of cab drivers "o never believe who i had in me cab other day........."

I dont think there are that many men that would stick around for a conversation about brazilian waxing. Whilst DH v much enjoys the look, he cannot deal at all with the procedure! wuss.

Not read all the posts on here so apologise if I am repeating things too much. Men are parents too, they also need advice. In the early days with my ds when I felt so knackered and before I found mn I didnt feel like searching the net. It was my dh that went on the forums for advice eg when we had a problem with bf. I also know a very good dad who stays at home while his wife works because her salary is main income.What is he supposed to do for advice wait until she gets in so she can log onto mn.

Its 2008 men are very much involved in parenting and are just as able to offer advice as women in a lot of areas. If Men were excluded we could miss out on a lot of knowledge.

ps pcsmum - waxing ouch I just cant do it, especially brazilian ouch ouch. I would too run a mile, I too am a total pain wuss. How I gave birth I'll never know. OH no maybe that means I shouldnt post on mn.

Sorry if that sounds a bit sarcastic just think the good thing about mn is the diversity and openness of the people that post.
