It has taken me a good 1/2 hour to read through a couple of threads as I was looking for a bit of advice, and all I have noticed is -You whine about how hard being a mum is & how little time you have for yourself, yet most of you seem to spend hours here chatting about shit!

I do my mumsnetting late at night, as a rule after other stuff done.You can dip in and out between tasks.Its great

Yep,lots of chatting about shit,literally and metaphorically.Also lots of warm,funny,caring and helpful advice and debate

What were you looking for advice about,maybe we could help??

Are you new?Welcome to mumsnet,but I would try to be a tad more diplomatic with your posts

ChocolateRockingHorse · 15/04/2008 00:18

Hey, that's not on! I haven't seen a shit thread for ages! There was an excellent one once posted upon mainly by Joash - I'll see if I can find it for you and I have started a few in Special Needs because my disabled child used to smear shit quite often.. but I can't see ANY current threads featuring shit...

..except this one, oddly!!

BurpyErnie · 15/04/2008 00:19

Yep I've noticed that too from the many hours I've spent lurking when I should have been... oh out seeing the world and stuff... shit I hate the internet... will be my downfall

wrinklytum · 15/04/2008 00:20

frofro · 15/04/2008 00:48

I see, not a pointless comment then?

OP posts:
frofro · 15/04/2008 01:23

LOL. Just found a thread about being up late! One person says they had a nice nap earlier, thus meaning they can stay up til stupid o'clock on mn. OOh how I wish i had that luxury instead of a job!

OP posts:
Mamazon · 15/04/2008 01:34

so you are here purely to slag off Mners?

goodl uck to you

frofro · 15/04/2008 01:46

No, as I said, I came here for a reason and just made an observation about how much time is wasted on pointless shit.

OP posts:
Mamazon · 15/04/2008 01:58

like starting a thread about other people talkign rubbish.
i see no point to your thread so cleaslry it is also "pointless shit"

welcome to MN you obviously fit in

Oooooooooooh napping for more MN time is a fine idea!

You do realise 1/2 of mners do it from work don't you?

SmugColditz · 15/04/2008 08:11

Luckily I don't get paid by the hour, it's not piecework, it's kind of salaried, and unless I really fuck up, nobody's going to sack me.

Har har!

zippitippitoes · 15/04/2008 08:11

im quite offended by the suggestion that i am on here too much and double whammy psoting pointless shit

ffs

CantSleepWontSleep · 15/04/2008 08:12

and the other half do it whilst dc are asleep or feeding, often on their lap.

SmugColditz · 15/04/2008 08:12

yes, I'm stealing your Taxpayer's Money, Frofro.

Stealing it and spending it on very white trainers and special brew.

I sleep all day and neglect the children, then at night I take pills and daNCE UNTIL 6AM.

maidamess · 15/04/2008 08:13

I love pointless shit! It brightens up my day filled with work and domestic slavery.
