to post and not be picked on!!

[mustsleep]

i recently put a post on the products page asking for pushchair advice

admittedly i have had a few although i sell them before i buy a new one (prob 2nd hand) and am not hurting anyone

i wanted advice on which to get for a new born as dd is 2 now and have just found out i am expecting and the pushchair we have for her is not suitable from birth

have had no replies appart from two people calling me odd and complaining that i havent saved one from my other kids ( i did not think we would be havong a third)

aibu to be a little offended i prob am it will be my hormones but i it was a simple questions if you are not interested dont read it but don;t be rude and name call!!

No, yanbu. People are currently in a backlash against the 'buggy addicts' who do populate the for sale boards (Ok, I have 14 pushchairs, also mostly second hand) but it isn't fair for people to have a go at you for asking a perfectly reasonable question. I will now go and answer your question on the other thread if I can find it

{hug}

thanks, ws in a good mood before i read those posts!!

YANBU, some people need to learn the meaning of the word tact. Don't worry about it.

hmmm just read the thread and while i do see where you're coming from and ive seen it happen sometimes, i dont think they said anything nasty or that could be construed as "picking on" or maybe im immune to it now.

What Lissie said.

I would just let it go over your head and ignore them. I got called "odd" last week, and also noticed she called someone else odd so I had a bit of a giggle about it.

i normally would just ignore it i think i'm a little over sensitive at the moment and just thought that they were so rude as they knew i would be looking at the thread again

who's been all nasty then?

Flightattendent with 14 pushchairs! Wow. They'd take up a bit of room wouldn't they? I don't know, never occurred to me to get a new one unless the one I had broke but then I'd rather buy myself new shoes than a new buggy tbh

I think shrug it off mustsleep if you can

Oh SSSSSSandy. You have as many sss's a I have LLL's!

I just like the mechanical aspect. Not into fluffy lime green anything but when something has a reversible handle and adjustable suspension, it really appeals to me just to buy it really cheap (because it is unheard of and unfashionable so goes on ebay for £30) and sit around fiddling about with the levers etc.

Call it a carryover from my motorbiking years

Not all of them are in one piece, you understand!

You sound a bit like my dad!

Can't believe I missed all your L's. Sorry, I honestly didn't see them!

oh I didn't mean it like that about the L's, I only have 3 cos I flounced too many times and it won't let me have my original name back!! so I have to keep adding an L every time...

So, FL, if a Mumsnetter needs a pushchair repair, then you'd be the one to contact! You should start a pushchair repair business

stop feeling sorry for yourself and tell them to fuck off the rude bastards

Lol Turtle, well if you would be up for gears on your buggy then give me a shout!

I am always happy to review them for people. Have tried quite a few Ok about 48 at last count...
