Can't wait to see how this board develops! We are the founding members 😂

Inextremis · 07/06/2023 13:34

Delighted this has appeared - and I love it being called Mumsnot :)

lemonchiffonpie · 07/06/2023 13:34

In years to come, they will say we stood on the shoulders of giantesses...

ScottBakula · 07/06/2023 13:09

I like the name but it needs a space or capital letters.
mums not
MumsNot
Not mums
NotMums

I prefer Mum Snot though….

Awaiting some derision from parents about the name, I have to say.

KimberleyClark · 07/06/2023 13:43

why are you digging up this argument??

my opinion on the name has nothing to do with my reproductive status

christ, some people can cause a fight in an empty room

WoofWoofBeachLife · 07/06/2023 14:15

Yay I didn't know this had been a suggestion, brilliant x

REP22 · 07/06/2023 14:17

Hearty wave from me! Hankies mercifully unsullied. I can tolerate the dog's occasional sneeze-fizz but not much else. 😉x

Whatevergetsyouthroughthenight · 07/06/2023 14:51

Oh so this is a new board for slagging off parents...on a parenting website 🤣

Thunderpunt · 07/06/2023 14:56

@Peacepudding I would hope not. All of us have not been parents at some point....

Not at all. I mean, I love my parents!

lemonchiffonpie · 07/06/2023 15:00

Ooh, we've got a capital Not!

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 07/06/2023 15:07

@Indigodreaming @Peacepudding I'm child free - very happily so - and I was on the other thread arguing for this board along with others. I'm very happy tht this board exists, but I'm aware - WELL aware - that there are people on this site who a) don't want it to exist and b) will take any excuse they can find to have a go.

OK? hope that clarifies my stance for you. Not a good start to be picking holes in what was a innocuous comment.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 07/06/2023 15:16

ANYWAY...glad we have a capital N.
