What threads do you avoid and why??

[nickytwotimes]

i try to keep out of feeding related ones (though am sometimes drawn in)- far too contraversial,
i never go near style as i have none and don't care!

ebay ones
not entirely sure what it has to do with parenting, but then again there's a gardening thread so who knows

Bores the bejeezus out of me at the best of times though

baby ones,ie pregnancy/weaning etc-I'm past that stage
feeling depressed-sorry too depressing to read
aibu-just stupid
tea or bar-don't get it

oh thank you kind people! yes, maybe I'll pop back on later and give it a try. Really should do some work now though...

Totally agree, Enid. "Who's your favourite MNetter?" just makes me cringe and takes me back to all those cjunior school popularity lists...

burek they're looking for you in teh tea shp

oooh ta! I'm running over there now... wehey!

anything to do with Housekeeping

ditto babies, weaning (past that stage, can't remember it anyway)

for sale, antenatal, postnatal, wanted, ebay stuff (have no clue about ebay at all really)

oh and navel-gazing ones (to coin enid's phrase)

threads asking for homework help ( ummm google it yourself )

None really... sometimes depression if I am low myself and can't handle other people.

Normally the bar because it moves too fast for me

I don't go into chat - don't use MSN or whatever it's called. Just not my 'thing'.
Don't go into the news bit either, unless there is a particular story in which I am interested, but wouldn't just go in for a look.
There are quite a few topic areas which are just not relevant for me right now, such as childcare.
Probably very seldom go into anything below 'Feed the World'.
Some of it is only relevant occasionally, such as travel advice - well it that's the case for me anyway - sigh!.

feeding/weaning, thanks goodness mine are past that stage

i avoid threads that are kicking off, can't be doing with internet arguements

Breast and bottle feed ones, weaning and ante/post natal, because I'm past all that. occasional I foray into Potty training if I have a mindee who is being toilet trianed. I also tend to avoid ones about Who is the best mumsnetter/favourite poster type ones. Sometimes I keep off the food ones

Never go into the depression bit, it's too depressing.

Also the bottle/breast thing, I just don't remember it ever being a big deal when I was at that stage.

any where MN starts to remind me of school.

Yes the fave mumsnetter ones are so predicatable - just an opportunity for people to suck up!
Ditto - funniest mumsnetter.
Thinking of starting a thread - which musnetter has pissed you off?
I would probably win hands down!
Hate all the smug parent ones - ' my 2 yr old can read a whole book is this normal?'
Feel like saying - no your child is a freak and so are you!!!

At the risk of sounding utterly moronic, what and where are these tea shops and bars you keep talking about?
If it's a secret society involving an excess of chocolate eclairs and wine, I want to join! Now!!

er Birdly where the feck have you been?!

everday theres a

But where? Where do I find them?! I want my choccy eclairs with the rest of you!

HERES the tea shp 0- tell them MamaG sent you and watch out for that Shosha

Anything that looks extremely contentious that I would get sucked into instead of doing something else I ought to be doing (like work, housework, spending time with my kids, pursuing a social life, etc.)

I resent that (shall I call you JabbertheHutt I am a very very very very nice person well some of the times utterly respectable dontcha know

Anything littleapin is on becuase she is a suck up

Liitlelapin, yes I used to be shosha, met you on the forces threads, and at just getting my name

Its not so much threads as certain people I try and avoid
