We only recently got a PC (yes, I know that I'm about 10 yrs behind the rest of the world) and it's opened up a whole new world to me. I only found Mumsnet by accident when I was searching for something else and I can't believe that there has been this little 'community' existing for sometime which I knew nothing about! Some of you seem to know each other really well. Now I find myself strangely drawn and logging on at all times of the day and night. What is the attraction? I have a few theories:- 1. You feel a bit daring talking to strangers but equally know that you are safe as everyone is in the same boat (ie. sitting at home/work harrassed covered in nappy rash cream/ baby vomit etc. 2. As it's anonymous you can talk about and admit to things that you perhaps wouldn't to friends and family 3. You know that somewhere out there you'll find a friendly ear and someone else who has shared your experience, and 4. We all basically like a good gossip and this is just another way of doing it !!! What do you more experienced Mumsnetters think?
