NETMUMS

[TishTosh21]

Anyone else heard of/been on that site? wondered how it differed to this one and which one is more popular. Of course this one is so much better!

[ronshar]

I am a simple lass and I find the site just too busy. There is stuff every where.
At least here you know you are an idiot if by post 10 someone has had a go at you!

[differentID]

it's vomit-inducing soemtimes.

[HecatesTwopenceworth]

Yes. But I bet behind the scenes there is loads of bitching going on

[crockydoodle]

Back already. Aren't they awfully polite over there.

[crockydoodle]

I've never been on netmums so i'm off for a look

[ChocOrange05]

Netmums is good for finding local things to do; toddler groups, softplay etc but thats all I've looked at. Its a bit more local than MN so it has its uses but as a chat forum I have never used it and don't think I will as long as MN exists. HTH

[comewhinewithme]

But I do like the recipe section.

[comewhinewithme]

Well I just went for a nosy and had a look at the topical/news section and there is a mssive lecture post about what you can and can't discuss so basically netmums does not like you to have an opinion.

i go on netmums on my local for sale stuff i dont post much,i like mn the best

[hullygully]

I LOVE Netmums, they are so much more open to unusual sexual practices. Not just boring old Fri night bumsex.

[happyharry]

I do both. Although I use netmums more for work. Lots of info on things in area. Not so much for chat.

[HecatesTwopenceworth]

netmums is not as blunt as mumsnet.

It's not for me because I can't help feeling that lots of hugs and huns and never saying what you really think (cos any hint of argument gets deleted!) makes for a very fake atmosphere. I much prefer people to say what they think, even if it's not what you want to hear! So I stick to mumsnet.

That said, I am sure there are as many great people on NM as there are on MN and it's not a critism of them as people or anything.

[ClubPenguin]

Ooh can they actually see you back??

[junglist1]

It's OK apart from when you get angry their pictures are there staring at you making it worse. And you can't tell them to fuck off or anything. I don't mind the huns too much

[DuelingFanjo]

I posted on there for some advice I didn't want to post on here for real life reasons and got one reply with some hugs and a hun ... I have never posted again.

[GypsyMoth]

aam a MNer through and through....but still don't know what 'boak' means???

[scroobiuspirate]

pmsl @ 'too bright'

[squeaver]

Ah thanks besom

[Besom]

Wasn't it that someone's dh posted and called us a 'nest of vipers'?

[Katisha]

Netmums words : awww hi hun, hugs, lol, hubby

Mumsnet words : boak, fanjo, twunt, nice ham.

[MerlinsBeard]

Netmums makes my eyes hurt with sparkles and the fluff gets in my eyes.

Here you know someone will tell you the truth in words that contain no sugar

[QueenOfFuckingEverything]

I was on Netmums about a hundred years ago.

I left in a huff after I got into a big barney on a thread asserting that Jean Charles DeMenezes 'brought it on himself' by overstaying his visa .

[squeaver]

GetOrf - I thought that was where "nest of vipers" came from. Although, that sounds a little too literate for them...
