Does this look a ridiculous baby sling or is MM cack handed?

This just looks really uncomfortable for MM and her son? Does she have it on right? I had one of those babybjorns and it seemed a lot of less strappy and one sided than this contraption?

FFS yet another excuse for a Meghan bashing thread. How are these threads allowed to stand , constantly pulling someone apart, it's fucking hideous.

Roussette · 22/01/2020 13:13

I wish I knew Nik I wish I knew

PortiaCastis · 22/01/2020 13:19

Some people on this thread need to be on a steep learning curve learning how to be a decent human being because there's not a lot of evidence of humanity or decency on here

NiktheGreek · 22/01/2020 13:19

@Roussette I've reported this thread to MNHQ and asked why they allow these threads to stand, I'm not holding my breath for an answer though. They seem quite happy for someone to be constantly ripped apart.

I've found myself going onto threads to defend a woman I have never met (and her baby unfortunately) I've been called a SCOLD for my trouble, (caps aren't mine).

There is an unwillingness by these posters to admit that they are tearing this woman apart for sport. I've been on this site since 2007 and I've never seen anything like this being allowed to stand.

VeganCow · 22/01/2020 13:50

Serious question - why is everyone obsessed with her and Harry? I don't get it. Am not even slightly interested

Roussette · 22/01/2020 13:52

Nik I've reported too. More than once. Didn't get anywhere.

Encyclo Ditto. And I've been here I think it's 16 years now. I too have never seen threads like this to stay up. It's OK if you're Victoria Beckham or Katie Price though. They're zapped

Roussette · 22/01/2020 13:53

p.s. what is a SCOLD?

Encyclo · 22/01/2020 13:58

I believe a SCOLD is a person who comes on the thread to point out their cruelty and/or hypocrisy 🤷‍♀️

ShirleyPhallus · 22/01/2020 15:04

I’ve reported also. Gross thread.

Equanimitas · 22/01/2020 15:31

And that turned out to be a long and happy marriage

By all accounts Wallis Simpson didn't really want to marry Edward VIII, she was more or less bounced into it as she didn't really feel she could back out once he decided to give up the throne.

As he abdicated in order to marry her, the two situations aren't really comparable anyway.

NiktheGreek · 22/01/2020 16:38

There you go , reply from MNHQ. So because people are interested in someone it means they can rip them to shreds. Shocking.

Aren't there laws against hate online?

Roussette · 22/01/2020 17:30

I had the same more or less Nik. So it's up to us to stop vitriol and victimising a woman with a baby.

Parker231 · 22/01/2020 17:40

No issues with differences of opinion and discussions but it’s wrong when the individual being criticised doesn’t have the opportunity to put forward the truth. Instead we have posters with no idea of the facts or even reality, creating hate posts.

ThebishopofBanterbury · 22/01/2020 18:31

Some of the people on this thread ought to be ashamed of themselves. Take a long hard look at yourself and your posts and ask why you think it's ok to criticize a woman for such a minor pathetic reason.

wowfudge · 22/01/2020 18:47

Completely agree that some posters have said the most disgusting things and yet MNHQ have allowed their posts to stand. Some people have just made things up and spouted them as if they are fact. A bit of empathy would go a long way for some. Is it any wonder Meghan and Harry don't want to be in the UK full time?

Topseyt · 22/01/2020 18:48

I don't see the problem with it. Leave the poor woman alone.

If you have ever tried carrying a baby (even in a sling or backpack carrier) then you would get that things may not remain perfect or absolutely straight all of the time.

How many more of these threads do we actually need? I'm surprised too that they are allowed to stand with all of the vitriol towards a new mum. Surely that makes MN no better than the gutter press and the paparazzi!

Topseyt · 22/01/2020 18:51

I meant carrying the baby in sling/backpack while simultaneously walking two dogs. Should have proof read better.

Things can definitely go crooked there. I know. I have done it.

NiktheGreek · 22/01/2020 19:11

@Topseyt you're absolutely right, it is getting like the gutter press here.

MarshaBradyo · 22/01/2020 19:14

Her baby was probably slipping and her other hand was taken up with dog leads. Happens.

Not sure what cack handed is meant to mean in all this

Aridane · 22/01/2020 19:40

If I'd called the paps I'd make sure my baby sling was fitted correct. She's just awful.

No, you're awful

Geoffreythecat · 22/01/2020 19:48

The threads that have been allowed to stand are apalling. I got the same c & p response from MN when I reported one particularly nasty post. I responded, but never received a further reply. The threads are much worse than the recent Brexit/Tory arguments. This time it's personal, vindictive and based almost entirely on lies and wild guesses dressed up as facts and fake concern for Harry. The only reason I can think MN are allowing them to stand is that it drives additional traffic to the site, so obsessive and prolific are the posters, and that could impact on future advertising revenue.

MN has always been great for the broad church of views. The posters on the Meghan threads seen like an alien species to me though, and I'm starting to think it isn't company I want to keep.

theendoftheendoftheend · 22/01/2020 22:42

To be fair these threads seem to be pretty even sided, maybe that's partly why they are allowed to stand.

I'm not a fan or otherwise of Meghan, I do think the pictures are weird and said as much up thread, ill fitted sling, having to support baby and 2 dogs in the other hand, just why??? I also think she has pursued a life in the media so she isn't exactly clueless/unsuspecting, she's a successful, accomplished, grown adult with experience (admittedly to a lesser extent) of the media. With a supportive husband and friends in similar positions. I don't know, I think she'll be ok. If anyone's wobbling it's H.

Geoffreythecat · 22/01/2020 22:55

Even handed? I don't think so. They're on about thread 10 or 11 I think, and if you look back, they definitely werent even handed. In any case, is not up to reasonable posters to have to counter some of the bile that has been posted, MN should have moderated properly. Some/most of those threads are unhinged.
