...with a challenge he has given me - after seeing me on mumsnet for ages, he has dismissed the amount of time I spend on it, saying it is not even a successful website. Now I know I saw an article in the newspaper a while ago, stating it was now worth a LOT of money - so it IS successful I want to tell my DH. Does anyone know the article I mean/ can anyone remember it/ help me to locate it, to show my DH who knows best?!!!

Agree with Beans.

It's largely a social network snd you enjoy it. How much it's worth is irrelevant

Tell him about the power of mumsnet... How groups of strangers pull together to send stuff to women who have fled their abusive partners, or who help women through times when they're suicidal (and check up on them if they're concerned). Tell him about how thousands of women light candles (metaphorically in some cases) and raise money for for women who's partners have terminal illnesses

That is how successful mumsnet is

msjollyhat · 23/05/2008 21:27

TillyScoutsmum - thank-you! It's not the one I remember reading but the one you have found for me will help my cause!!!

Is comcercially successful the only kind of success that counts?

'Course it's successful - look how many people come on here sad and feel better for having chatted

375,000? That is incredible. What a fantastic thing to have started.

Girl power!
