If your friend told you that she....

[posieparker]

believed in marriage and had a three year old, but then claimed to be expecting her first, stirred up anger talking about breastfeeding, thought that children in her dh's previous relationship should be abandoned would you want to shout troll. And would anyone expect people to be so stupid that they can't tell every topic they like to discuss is controversial and poorly disguised research????

Sorry am I unreasonable to shout troll???

take it you mean wash with care?

I think someone's already done this

Oh bugger, not the sleuth I thought I was and yes.

Anyway, yanbu,pp
It's all a bit dodgy
There is another one on here that made me go

I have just eaten a jammi dodger! Who is the other one?

Is it just me? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/parenting/893049-I-am-the-most-stupid-mother-on-this-planet

not sure about that one mrs! the op does seem to be thriving on the attention given about the original incident

mrsr, I had doubts about that one too for reasons i can't quite pin down ...

It's just the tone sometimes isn't it?

I think the thing with the children of different ages (if we are referring to the MNer that I think we are), is that the MNer already has a 3 year old DD from a previous relationship and is currently expecting her second child, which will be her first child with her new husband, IYKWIM. Think this is where the confusion has arisen.

IMHO it is very easy to make judgements about other people's lives when you sit in what is effectively an ivory tower, by having the comfort of a husband who is fortunate enough to earn a very healthy salary and you also earn good money. I don't think money is the answer to everything, but it certainly helps to eliviate some of the everyday stresses that a few of us have, which in turn can affect the way we parent our children.

I also got the impression that the poster is very much using the boards to provoke discussion for research purposes. I am also very sceptical as I sometimes get the impression that there is another MNer who seems to support everything that the poster posts and a negative part of me wonders if this second poster has been planted to fuel the fire. i.e. a researcher and her RL friend or something.

I am rubbish at explaining myself and have absolutely no proof of any of the above, just my 2 pennys worth.

Already been discussed but

she said she had a three year old and was expecting her first with current partner and she wanted her partner to abandon his expartners children, who were not his biological ones as he was keeping ex and her kids 100% and still getting huge grief from ex. In the end, he offered her rent of £1 per month to stay in HIS house and made a trust fund to keep the children (not his) in private education until they were 18. To which the ex responded by pulling them out of existing school and is now refusing all contact anyway

I think if people are going to shout troll, they should at least get their facts right. I think WWC may be an odd person and the BF was certainly offensive but she has had her posts re written in this troll hunt by the troll hunters

The smug, self centred-ness of the poster does get to me though. She seems oblivious to how much offence she causes some people and ploughs on with her point. Maybe she just prefers to rise above it all or something, but it makes uneasy reading.

Not a troll hunter, just noticed the high level of controversial activity by one, previously unknown, poster.

I rarely shout troll even if I think it.

Of course you are not, posie.
As I said I think that DWP did this yesterdy

I asked for advice on a really touchy thing the other week and had to namechange as people know me but I ME was accused of trolling too .....sad really this troll thing it detracts from what to me at that point was a very hard time.

bit off really
