Has Mumsnet changed your life? Women's glossy mag would like to know...

Hello. We've been asked by Andreina, who writes for a well-known women's glossy, to put up the following media request.

Do feel free to wax lyrical about the wonders of Mumsnet...

"Hi, I am putting together an article for a women's glossy magazine about how more and more women are choosing to share their lives online ? whether it?s venting their frustrations, confessing something they can?t even tell their friends, or just showing a side to themselves which they feel they can?t show in their everyday lives.

"I'd really like to talk to Mumsnet users about how sharing their lives with online friends has made a difference to their lives, about why you post, what you post, and what you get out of it.

"If you'd like to talk to me - you won't have to identify yourself if you don't want to ? or if you have any questions at all about the feature, please don't hesitate to contact me on [email protected], or call 020 8144 0244.

"Look forward to hearing from you! Andreina Cordani"

It's a breach of trust. You sign up for Mumsnet and you end up providing weekly fodder to the Daily Mail, entirely without consultation.

i think the problem is, an awful lot of people join mn because they are looking for something. They are often at a very vulnerable point in their lives and need the additional support and a sounding board for the thoughts and opinions that they cant express to their famillies. so, to see themselves quoted is (as swedes said) a huge breach of trust. its like someone eavesdropping on you then gossiping about you behind your back.
