AIBU to think Mumsnetters are miserable?

[coulditbeme2323]

Mumsnetters are miserable aren't they?

Anytime anybody shows any sign they are doing well for themselves, they are pounced upon?

Ask for a luxury hotel recommendation and you are insensitive in a COL.

Ask for ideas for a new wardrobe and you hate the planet whilst at the same time support child slavery.

Ask for ideas on a holiday home and you are scum of the earth who are stopping locals buying.

These are real life examples I have seen this week.

They aren't this miserable in real life are they?

Style and beauty is vicious! I've never seen so many arguments about jeans in my life!

I suspect when and if it goes over to American ownership it will change entirely. The majority on here are from the UK. But when the change happens will be overwhelmed by those from the USA.

@coulditbeme2323 You should try one of these, it sounds right up your alley.

There was a thread a few weeks ago about a poster whose DH had sulked because they didn’t have breakfast at the premier inn. The question was about whether she was reasonable to change plans and if sulking was an acceptable response to not getting your own way.

I knew before I clicked on it that it would be three pages of posts of sneering and demonstrative superiority about premier inn breakfasts.

Not sure who they are ?
If Ice wanted a word because of their social media they wouldn’t get further than the airport.

It was tongue in cheek, I didn't really mean ICE would be waiting at Fantasy Land!

More making the point how hysterical posters get about US travel.

There are people on here that seem lovely ( majority ) but I’ve only been on this site for about a month and my word there are some really spiteful people on here. People ask for advice on things and some people just reply with horrid things. I’m not sure whether some people on here just wake up in a bad mood and feel the need to be nasty.

Agreed.

That's my problem. I get that people are suffering and can have very serious reasons for being miserable but if you can't find any joy in something like a good old breakfast buffet then there's not much hope is there?

I’ve come across some lovely people on here.

I wonder if many people feel they can’t be so cutting and direct in real life as it may affect real relationships, but it’s much easier to do so on here anonymously.

I think that is probably true.

Yes 100% agree.

we are all happy on the cat thread- because we have cats!

Quite a few times now you’ve gone on to threads about people not having much money/having a small budget and made a point of saying how miserable that would be and that you wouldn’t be able to live like that (you’ve got quite a memorable username). You’ve even done it on a thread today where someone had £600 for 3 weeks and gone on and on about how awful that would be and that OP is going to have a shit time. £180 a week is a lot to a lot of people, fair enough it’s not to you but there’s no need to go out of your way to point out to them how little they’ve got and how terrible their life must be

And for God's sake do not post a picture of any element of your home. You'll be torn to shreds. I got searched, Google reversed and insulted.
I came 25 years ago for collic advice!
I use a support thread every day and it's changed my life. There are lovely people out there and I've learnt lots.
Friday night and Sundays are when the wine is in and I usually don't post then.
