A moan about a thread deletion

Sorry to be a bit over-invested in what was just random chat. Chippednailvarnish's thread was fun though. I know it started off as "why are there so many first time posters posting dodgy threads", which could be seen as policing who can or cannot start a thread. But if that was beyond the pale, it should have been zapped immediately. It developed into a fun thread. Quite a few of MNHQ posts, too. It was allowed to stand all evening and all morning and then went. Yes, there were a couple of minor arguments, one got dissolved last night, before and during some of HQ's posts.

There were so many people on there. The deleting of a jocular comment was already weird, the "victim" of that joke said she got the joke, no problem, it's funny. It wasn't grand politics. What was it then? The discussion over fuck to rhyme with duck or look? Or troll-doll, troll-foal? Even this morning peace broke out over a frozen shoulder after a short argument.

It really makes me feel censored. Not because it was so important, but because it was such trivial fun and got zapped.

Someone started a thread today asking who the Mumsnetter was that did wills. The first reply was saying who it was. I helpfully linked the thread that she has in Classifieds. Then the will person came on and thanked us.

Bit then MN took the thread down to have a closer look.

Confused
Chippednailvarnish · 15/04/2016 17:28

That's ridiculous.

I'm guessing you mean Mumbles? It's not like either if you are new or have suddenly joined / name changed and keep recommending each other...

Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2016 17:31

Yes. I wonder why it was reported? Did i do wrong? The poster asking could have found the ad no problem herself I was just being helpful. I am not on commission or owt.

Lots achieved!

Dh was off work this week

We spent the day together Monday and Tuesday as a family. The kids were then babysat weds and Thursday as it was Dh's birthday. We went out for the day and did some DVD shopping. Then today we took both of the children to soft play and then to the garden centre where I got a new aeration system for the fish tank (exciting)

All in all a good week

First week back after the Holidays is always a killer for me.

I have achieved nothing this week. Teens. Angry

paxillin · 15/04/2016 19:32

If they are alive, have eaten, left their bedroom and had at least one shower this week, you have achieved, Sparklingbrook.

Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2016 19:34

Aww thanks pax in that case I have. They have both showered every day, been to school and are eating well.

paxillin · 15/04/2016 19:37

It's a bit like toddlers again only you can't physically carry them upstairs to tantrum it out Grin

Hello all

Achievements this week ? Hmmm. Well, lots going on decision-making wise but its all in my head....

Got DD out of leggings into jeans. We're on Day 1. Grin

Bought a snazzy new lawn mower but haven't cut the grass because its done nothing but rain. Angry

Not much really....

Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2016 19:39

You are not wrong. The bickering is just exhausting.

I read on here once that one mum went into her DS's room to berate him for whatever. he stood up, picked her up, walked out of his room and put her on the landing, and went back into his room.

paxillin · 15/04/2016 19:40

I did lots at work, little at home. Kids are alive. Easter eggs all eaten up now, back to normal food.

Oh god, can you imagine the helpless fury? Pocket money gone for the year and I'll use your college fund for a boob job and no more meals until Christmas!!

MrsVamos · 15/04/2016 19:44

Mine don't bicker. DS grunts if he's got the hump, DD has a wicked tongue and is very quick witted which strangely seems to diffuse tension quicker.

It the blaring music that winds me up. But I can't complain because I know its payback.

paxillin · 15/04/2016 19:45

I hate it when conversation happens only to humour me. I know he's being kind, that's the worst thing.

I'm dreading teenage years

If they are anything like my sister God help me...
Mind you I'm also dreading when ds becomes a toddler

I have a feeling he is going to be a handful.
Dd was never this....spirited

Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2016 19:46

'HE'S IN MY ROOM!!!!'

That is the signal it is all about to kick off. Usually DS2 in DS1's room being a PITA.

paxillin · 15/04/2016 19:47

God help us when the 8yo hits teenage. We're DOOMED. But there's some time of Lego Star Wars left yet Grin

We demanded a knock before enter policy, Sparks. No answer, no enter.

Which is fine till they're listening to music via headphones cos I've threatened damage if the bass isn't turned down in which case we get "WHAT DO YOU WANT".

Usually accompanied by a yell from me to be naive and polite as a gentle reminder. Wink

MrsVamos · 15/04/2016 19:53

paxillin · 15/04/2016 20:40

We have a big age gap, so luckily not two teens at a time. Unfortunately, it'll mean teenager for a looong time.

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2016 20:46

Tomorrow DS1 has football followed by work followed by a houseparty so DS2 will have to bicker with himself.

paxillin · 15/04/2016 20:50

Unless you volunteer as a bicker partner.
