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

[morningpaper]

night night

Someone really should explain to the poor woman that you don't have to read all the threads on MN.

It's is perfectly acceptable to only read the bits that interest you. Reading threads which are of no personal interest, while potentially entertaining, may leave you feeling confused and resentful with an irrational urge to write rubbish in a national newspaper.

I wouldn't know where to start, Shiney...I bet she asked for it to be pulled when she got flamed.

Just as ironic as posting a "if you voted for Labour you are personally responsible for every Iraqi child who dies" thread and then going to work for the DM and writing about MN and Plastic Surgery/Beauty treatments and how much it all costs in Londinium...............

Utter crap

Justine and Carrie have such beautiful kids!

Oh, and I didn't expect any more less of the Daily Hate... they're certainly ones to talk about being vicious!

Worth noting that the writer of the article who has criticised the "patronising drivel" written by mumsnetters, recently wrote a truly deep and world altering article on "What does your pram purchase say about you?"

x-posts, ewe!

Is this her?

A-ha- this is it!!

In her defence, the "Do cats have belly buttons" list that she copied and pasted article was very informative.

Well that's my entertainment for the rest of the night sorted!

That was a very badly written piece regardless of what you think of her "opinion". Wit-less. I am quite prepared to read a piece slagging off this place and would probably chortle in recognition in parts but this was soooo dull.

Smacks of someone trying to sound "cool" by dissing something widely acknowledged as being interesting/good. Very "teen" in tone I think.

Anyone know if she writes hard-hitting, incisive articles on anything else? Or is she Judith's daughter? (and I don't mean the fishy one )

What kind of journo says "FFS sake"? One without a basic command of the English language?

Gotta be...

No, she's invented PTSITIGTV "And not forgetting one of my own: PTSITIGTV - or Pass The Sickbag I Think I'm Going To Vomit"

hmm - if it was so terrible why did she come back after so many years?? There are posts from her from 2004 and 2005!

FFS, BoF, why do I bother, eh? You beat me to it every fucking time....

ok, ok, she wrote sanctimonious shite, but one thing I do agree with. We *must get rid of that ridiculous 'BD' acronym and replace with AASWAVTBUTD' ('avin a shag with a view to being up the duff).

If I didn't know MN, that comment alone would ensure I never would.

Backlash only to be expected, 'suppose. They "promote" MN (against our will), we slag them off on thread after thread, they take the hump and disown us.
I can live with that.

Ha,ha I wonder if we could ask Boden to make us some nice canvas bags with the slogan "Don't f**k with me, I'm a Mumsnetter!"

jason durr is married to someone called kate.

That is absolutely brilliant! Thank fuck! That should discourage any DM readers from joining us! Very easy to patronise dm readers obviously, glad she noticed!
