Andula - before you totally dismiss this site, why not go and have a look at the secret Santa thank-you thread, and see how some of these uptight and humourless people have given others a bit of happiness.
Or look at the threads about the Mumsnet Woolly Hugs - see how mumsnettersm all over the country and beyond have reached out to bereaved parents and families, by knitting squares that are crocheted into blankets (by yet another humourless and uptight woman who organises and assembles the blankets for free) and sent to the families to offer a tiny modicum of comfort at a desperately sad time. Plus the Woolly Hug people are now knitting and crocheting little blankets to go to Yorkhill hospital as comfort blankets for sick children, and some are also making white blankets that are used to wrap up stillborn babies - again, to try to offer a tiny bit of comfort.
I could tell you about all the support I have had to cope with depression. Or point you at the innumerable support threads for the parents of children with special needs, or the parents of teenagers, or expectant parents, or families in financial strife.
Mumsnettersm have even helped rescue a woman and children from an abusive situation, and many, many more get support for dealing with relationship problems, abuse, divorce, bereavement, tantrums, breast feeding, formula feeding, weaning, education - the list is endless.
Or you could judge us all based on the fact that you don't like an acronym that is used purely for ease-of-typing, and got a negative reaction when you, as a new person on the site, decided to lecture us on this. This is a welcoming place, but it is not surprising you got a less-than-warm welcome when your very first act is to march in and tell us what you don't like about us.
Would you join a real life social group and immediately tell them how wrong something they are doing is? And expect a positive reaction?
