..to really take a dislike people who I only know as paragraphs on a webpage??

[thinkaboutthepepilepticdogs]

I've namechanged for this, and won't name any of the MNetters that I'm referring to (so please don't either!). BUT, do you ever find the same MNetters on threads you are commenting on - and they always disagree with what you think??

This seems to happen to me alot and I find myself really disliking them, which is ridiculous. Sat here on my computer, they aren't even real people, just paragraphs of text on the screen so how can I dislike them so much??!

Am I the only one that gets this? Or are there more of you out there that are just as irrational as me?

I dislike the 'AIBU to be upset that my parents fried my children in oil and then ate them?' responses, which usually are:

"Don't you know how LUCKY you are to even have parents?????" "Grandparents arent a RIGHT they're a LUXURY." "My parents were taken by aliens when I was 2 and I was raised by wolves so think yourself lucky, I'd die for parents that even SPAT on my children once a year" etc etc.

Or the responses to 'My EDH pays 2p a week child maintenance" usually "OH MY GOD! My EXH takes £400,000 a week FROM my children, think yourself lucky you selfish caaaawwwww." etc.

Oh and that weird woman that has weird child upbringing ideas gets on my wick too.

HTH.

Oh and anyone that disagrees with me:

1. nurseries are fine, get over it
2. earpiercing of babies/toddlers/under 12s is NOT fine. STOP IT.
3. Ditto circumcision.
4. Breastfeeding vs bottle - Can't we all just get along?
5. Mooncups - NO. JUST NO.

And DP, I'm on a roll here, men that like anal sex with women are NOT GAY.

I consider myself a normal MN'er and I don't take it up the arse.

Ain't no one kicking my back door in.

The "if you give your child a mcdonalds then ss should kick your door down and drag them away kicking and screaming as you are clearly an unfit mother/nanny/au pair/" brigade.

I don't take it up the arse

I don't think male mumsnetters are gay

I think BF/bottle is a choice but it's a pity our culture is so bottle-oriented

Earpiercing bad

Circumcision can be good

Mooncups are a great idea and a horrible reality.

Childminders don't get enough credit

Am I normal?

I think you have the wrong thread DefluffMyFanjo. The "things that should be banned from MN" thread is over there. ---->

oh that's it -- that's what this is!

it's a cathy and claire letter -- "am I normal?"

the reply is always yes

if only it had stayed that way here and not gone any further

YES YOU'RE NORMAL

we should all move swiftly on

discombobulated is a real word i think
it should certainly be moved into general use

i want to cheer up greensleeves and dp, it all went a bit oh dear there

I have no opinions on anything at all.

Apart from silly names for babies.

And text speak.

And reality TV.

All of which are A BAD THING.

And I am normal. It's all you other feckers that are weird.

I rather love my mooncup.

I've lost mine.

Can't think where I left it...

PSML

I feel Moon-cups are the work of the devil..

ooh no they are great ... if you can find them

next time you go paddling at the seaside, with your dear children and look down and see a used tampon bobbing gently in the shallows, take a long, hard look and tell me mooncups are the work of the devil....

LOL maybe my mooncup is bobbing around at the seaside...

No, I know it's not.

Where TF is it?

I have never experienced the Tampon bobbing business ...but perhaps that will spur me on ...until then Mooncups remain in Room 101 like Bumsex,Reality TV and canned cheese..

Erm, from personal experience, check out your dc's rooms....mine keeps becoming a 'spacedome' in lego world, lol.

Is this one of those 'please tell me where x is' threads then?

Through the catflap
Behind the curtains
Under the sofa cushions
In the toybox
Up the chimney

HTH

canned cheese??? Really??? oh sweet jehesus, tell me no!

Mmmmm, cheese in a can [Homer]

molly - squirty cheese in a can - to squirt on top of anything that could use some extra cheese (which is everything IMO). Very plastic. Very addictive.

Yes...it exists i tell you!
