dear/darling child? how can you bear to talk like this?

[Andula]

I've been scouting around the site for a few weeks, looking for info on parentnig issues (soon to be stepmother) and I was wondering how do you bear to talk like this about your family members? What's wrong with you all??

Mental chaff?

It's a shorthand OP. I don't talk like that in real life!!

aw, what's up? are you really THAT offended by my silly post?

haha, I read that as 'mental chuff' - which is a pretty good way of describing this thread.

It cud b worse, we cud all spk lyk dis 's wel 's uzin da abbrvs lyk dc. Dat wud b v. Batshit crazi

lol, putting that self-righteous essay post was just ridiculous

I think you need to look up the meaning of self righteous SDTG wasn't praising herself, she was praising the site.

It is easier for Andula to be unpleasant to me, than to admit that I might have made some good points that countered her very negative OP, I suspect.

dh/dd/ds is bizarre tho
have always thought that

poor old Dull Alan is having to resort to poking it with a stick to try and get everyone wound up.

santashug :-)

I don't like the DD, DS, DH carry on much either. But use it anyway. I once showed my DS (Eck) a post and he asked what the D thing meant. When I told him he was horrified "no way Ma!"

woolly hugs? I assumed that was a joke.

God you are so offensive. Of course it's not a bloody joke!!

I'm bored of this now.

Can we talk about kittens?

Or communism?

lol @ being called pretty harsh names for disliking an acronym and being called a troll by the same people. priceless.

You should do less "assuming".

Omg penelope your nn is fab!

OP why would anyone make a joke about people's children dying!?

Do you even know what they are?

Course you do.. and now you're just being antagonistic...

Or communist kittens, Tethers? Did you know that David Baddiel has (or possible had...) a cat called Chairman Miaow?

Hugs website here. Or look at the threads in Arts and Crafts. I have knitted squares for maybe 10 blankets for mumsnettersm who have lost a child or partner, and two comfort blankets for Yorkhill, and am going to knit the little white blankets for premature stillborn babies. Why would I joke about that?

Do you think they could stage an effective coup though, born?

I'm not sure.

They could only storm the palaces of our oppressors if the bathroom window's been left open.
