Can we talk about MNSN, and the community/support/chat etc?

This thread may not be a good idea. I am severely sleep deprived (ds has decided yet again that sleep is for the weak, and I have had about 4 hours sleep since Sunday), and had the morning from hell getting dd2 off on a school trip - change of routine, needed ot wear tracksuit not uniform, different drop off/pick up - you all know the score. If you all think it is a bad idea, please feel free to report and have it deleted.

Anyway.

Can we have a thread where we try to sort out some of the perceived isues with MNSN?

I keep seeing, on the main boards, posts saying that MNSN is not suportive. That some faces don't fit. That it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Fine. I get that not everybody is the same, and may not want the same things form this board as me, or other posters. But it isn't really said here, and so we don't reallt get right of reply.

It's a bit like talking about us behind our backs.

I know there have ben disagreements and differences over the years. I have been part of some of them, but on the whole I thought we muddled through quite well - expcially given that we are all under a reasonable amount of stress most of the time, and that we all face fairly different challenges on a daily basis.

So - what do people want form MNSN? Is there anything we (as a community) can do to welcome people who feel left out? Anythign we can do to help posters who lurk rather than post?

I am rather hoping htis might be a moving forward discussion, rather than a re-hash of any he said/she said grievances. BUt as I said earlier, maybe this is entirely misguided. Sorry if it is.

I'm feeling obstreperous tonight, but I refuse to be called truculent and would gladly argue that one.

There you all go having a happy time talking about eating icecream and getting into cars through windows......

Hope you're all very pleased with yourselves whilst some of us are struggling with home-school link books.....

coff33pot · 07/03/2013 19:40

StarlightMcKenzie · 07/03/2013 19:45

Well I'm never getting slimline tonic again. Not worth the effort.

Wondering if anything much is worth the effort tbh......

Want to chuck myself off a cliff but I don't live anywhere the fucking seaside!

coff33pot · 07/03/2013 19:48

Ah, no more arguing, just swearing, soft drinks and alcohol. My kinda pub.
Anyone got crisps?

Tootsandblanket · 07/03/2013 20:06

It sounds like a good pub. I hope there's roasted nuts.

MareeyaDolores · 07/03/2013 20:08

Star, cliffs are no good. There must be somewhere near a town hall to allow for the * you'd like to take with you.

Just avoid these basic errors

*more inclusive language

lougle · 07/03/2013 20:08

Oooh this is like the teddy bear you are allowed to hold when it's your turn to speak Grin

She is run down, I think. Which makes her tired and lethargic. I think as a result of that, the effort to sit up, co-ordinate the fine motor movements, chew and swallow just outweigh the pleasure of eating.

She eats at school and eats a bit of breakfast in the morning. It's the evening meal she really struggles with.

StarlightMcKenzie, you absolutely did not state that it was a misery thread. The title was 'Help me....' - I helped . Next time, please make it clear that you want us to stroke your brow Wink

When you move house, you should take all future potential activities into account.
