HELP- how to post blogs on Mumsnet?

[twinsandtantrums]

Hi, I've set up my blog a couple of months ago and have recently joined the Mumsnet Bloggers Network. I will hastily point out that I am a blogging novice. I have absolutely no idea how to actually post a blog here, on the Mumsnet Bloggers Network. All that is showing is my blog name (twinsandtantrums.com/) in black and my twitter handle- but no posts, even though I have written several blog posts since joining this network. I have literally spent hours trying to figure this out!! I have emailed mumsnet bloggers and they haven't replied. I know I am probably being thick, but it is really beginning to frustrate me.
So...how do I link my blog posts so that they appear as posts on Mumsnet Network??
Any help would be soooo appreciated!

Hi there

I'm a vlogger and have apparently been signed up to the vloggers network but I don't know how to find it or how to post on it, so I'm going to follow your post and hope this sheds some light. Good luck on your blogging journey! I'll be having a read.

Desperately Seeking Advice

I am being made to feel that I am nasty and jealous of the relationship my boyfriend of 5 yrs has with his 21 yr old daughter.

I have looked really hard at myself and why we argue about this and have come to the conclusion that as a couple we do not have enough quality time together so he only has to mention he is organising a small outing with his daughter and I see red and get upset, feel threatened etc. Plus if we do go out he keeps on at me about trying this restaurant, visiting that place etc, all places his daughter keeps telling him to go to, and when we find some where nice of our own he has to then later involve his daughter. I know this all sounds so stupid and does it really matter, but I would just like us to have something special to us to make 'us feel worthwhile or am I living in a dreamworld.

He doesn't get on ( or try to) with my children so that also makes me resent his daughter as I see how nice he can be to his own children.

I have tried to talk to him and explain my feelings, which he says he understands but then its starts all over again.

I feel I am demanding too much from this relationship and the grass wouldn't be greener elsewhere but I would also quite like to breath a sigh of relief if I was ever able to move out and be on my own with my children.
I live in his house, have set up a business on his land so moving means finding a job as well, which I'm not concerned about it just makes it a lot harder than just packing a suitcase for the time being .

Hi,
Can anyone help or give advice

I left the childrens dad , set up on my own with 3 children.
I receive UC and help with the rent
I work when the children are at their dads
I have a new partner and we are expecting next month. We do not live together.
My employer has said I don’t get SMP due to low earnings And I will need to claim maternity allowance. Because of the benefit cap I will receive it but then it will taken off my UC as it’s classed as unearned income .

Previous to covid I would have earnt more than enough to cover SMP . I was furloughed and now because of the effect on the catering industry due to covid I have reduced hours also causing me to earn less.
Does anyone know if I can appeal this? who I can speak to ? Or what I can do

Many thanks

Hi first time posting would love some advice group of 8 friends from school now 55plus. We meet informally on who can make it basis weekly. We are a great supportive bunch. One friend hosts a New Year’s Eve party incorporating other friends, her grown up children etc also on a who can make it basis. This year I have not made as many weekly meetings as for 7 months was carer to my terminally I’ll Mother who passed a few months back. A few weeks ago when friend X who hosts the NY parties was away another friend asked a member of the group if she was going to friend X Ny party, which she replied she was not and it transpired majority of the group had other stuff arranged, so obviously I’m my absence an invitation had been issued. . Last week we had a betwixt Xmas meal and when all talking about NY friend X said she was not doing anything, foe NY - behold tonight all over FB 2 friends are at friend X’s house at a fancy dress party. This I could move on from albeit feeling a bit sad for obviously being excluded but what really pisses me off is the fact that I have a holiday villa in Spain which some more than others from the group have been desperate to visit with me and have pushed to visit and I’ve arranged a week long visit for us all next summer, obviously they have paid their air fares but I am feeling a bit used and not sure how to respond, whilst I do not want to fall out to the extent of walking away from 40+ years of friendship I’m wondering how genuine it all is and I’m hurt and kind of want them to know this.
