God almighty. Haven't been on mumsnet for days (too busy) come on here for five mins entertainment while I drink my afternoon tea and find this load of bobbins (not just this thread, but the other one as well).

Yawn.

Oh, ffs.

Of COURSE it doesn't feel like slow death.

Sorry, SSD.

But honestly, your OP on the other one was ill-conceived and seemed specifically designed to get a rise.

Compo, what "name for myself"?! You sound like a teacher!

Bit late for that advice compo

doggiesayswoof · 15/03/2007 16:51

I'm with you hunker

Oh - hang on - ssd has APOLOGISED now so that's ok

ComeOVeneer · 15/03/2007 16:53

Sorry I don't usually get involved with this type of thread but how can you criticise someone for starting a thread then do exactly the same thing? Isn't it a bit hypocritical?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 15/03/2007 16:53

doggie....people make mistakes.

Even if that mistake is showing your true colours in public

Hunker has apologised too....

But nothing like a big row, is there?

I wasn't criticising her for starting the thread naming Xenia.

I was pointing out that saying it felt like "slow death" to only spend two hours a day with your children was a bit of a patronising below-the-belt way of putting it.

god why is everyone taking mumsnet so seriously today?!?!

Free speech free country.

Chill out and stop telling people off about what kind of threads they start - it would be so dull if we were all always nice.

ComeOVeneer · 15/03/2007 16:57

Sorry, I am just getting rather sick of this working mum, sahm stuff today.
