I HATE MUMSNET: Why one mum thinks the parenting website is smug, patronising and vicious

[morningpaper]

night night

ok - are my eyes deceiving me or are there really grown women posting on the Daily mail site saying 'Bounty FTW'!! I am for them. Bless them!

Bounty for teh win. Have you not heard that before? People use it on ALL the other forums I use doncha know

the

Dear God are they still at it over there? Bloody hell, it was fun for a while but really, 24 hours later and they're still going strong. Bounty must be quiet as the grave tonight

What does that mean, "for the win"?

"dont see any begging... maybe if you go back to the start of the thread you will see quote i vote us lot go over there and bombard it with "we hate mumsnet Bounty FTW" type messages unquote"

more than a little childish if you ask me. Internet board wars are so 2006

I wish the DM article had been directed at Babyworld...they have it all going on there..snobbery, breast feeding obsession, Fruit Shoot and Greggs sausage roll hating, pink buggies = thick chavs.
And most of their members have tickers most appropriate to a 4 year old.
At least MN has some sensible, articulate and fiesty members.

dont have any ire for any site.it is all overstated and faux-website wars are passée

Ooh, how do you do those little accent things, scottishmummy? Very chi chi, and good for French Week on MN

french week!cant wait auld alliance an'aw that i love paris and harry new york bar

do you think, if it had been written about another parenting forum, would mumsnetters have bothered going onto the Daily Mail site to post stuff like 'mumsnet ftw'?

doh!zealous mn'etters not likely to galvanise for another site

SM, tell us how you did the accents! NOW!

yawning at dm.its almost funny.a woman scorned.

What's FTW, anyway? I guess we need more acronyms if we don't know that one!

I've posted her fuzzy hun hugs on the comments, not sure when (if) it will show up. My comments never seem to appear on any kind of meeja website .

MN is the only real parenting forum, IMO - sloppy big wet womanly pats on the back to all of you! (can you tell I've had a little wine this evening!?)

I love Harry's bar in Venice

C'mon, give us the accent treek...

my spell-check picks up accents

FTW

Goodness, what a silly acronym. Let's ignore it and hope it goes away.

Don't tell me you use spellcheck

That must be a special Irvine Welsh spellcheck...

Hehehe, I was thinking about you earlier- I used to live in Edinburgh, and was wondering- would you as a west coaster use Wains or Bairns?

Hold down Alt Gr on right of space bar and type your E

éééééé

as a weegie weans.never bairns.bairns is the broons

Genius! It delights me strangely that the Daily Tripe doesn't like us...
