It's become huge and is turning into something of a pressure group. I had a look now and again, being male and not having children I thought it might be a bit of a laugh to see what some of the topics were about when one of their members has been ranting on the news. Not going there again, it's even more full of nutters and weirdos than GD . :eek:
Don't think I'd bother with Mum's net. I hated cliques at school, I hate them at work and from what I gather it is still a world of cliques in the NCT groups and at the school gates. I'd rather go on Dad's net where they are probably talking about fishing and farts.
But it would be tempting to go on there and wind a few Queen Bees up..
They are like school kids really. There's the really serious earnest swots who take Mumsnet ever so seriously, the class clowns who mess around and have a laugh and the bitchy cliquey ones who don't seem to have much of a life and who like to bully everyone else and throw strops if anyone takes the piss out of them. It makes fascinating reading sometimes. A cross between Mean Girls and a suburban coffee morning.
i do seriously wonder how many marriages have been destroyed by vulnerable women listening to the feminist claptrap that goes on on that site
they come on asking for advice on say husband not putting dirty socks in the laundry basket and before you know it he is an abuser, a controller, a narcassist (sp), and god knows what and she must leave him immediately
and if the OP tries to defend the "abuser" they round on her and bully until she submits to their way of thinking
hilarious reading at times just for the double standards!

I don't see what any of that has to do with feminism. It's more armchair pyschology. Any woman that needs advice on telling her husband to put his clothes away is a passive-aggressive little twit. Tell him to do it and if he doesn't, don't do his f**king laundry.

My wife recently said that she had been given some advice on potty training our toddler from 'some mums on mumsnet'. The advice seemed a bit strange, so I thought I'd check the site out. Has anyone else ever used it? It seems like a huge clique of a bunch of women who feel they are at the top of the parenting club. It was full of horrible terms like OH, Bub, BB, etc. And a lot of the users seemed to worship those who had suffered a miscarriage as of they were gods. Although a lot of those who hace suffered losses seem to enjoy pronouncing thus at any opportunity. The signatures are also something else.
Yes DH (darling husband) is a bit nauseating! A thread today had a woman complaining because she didn't want to join DH on a skiing trip. SUCH problems!
I sometimes go in Lone Parents section and find most posters quite friendly, but Am I Being Unreasonable is a total bitchfest.
my sis a few years ago went of there for some birthing plan advice and she pretty much picked on and felt excluded so never went on again, dont sound like a nice bunch to me, dunno why the press gives them so much air time when all you hear is bad things bout them.

I'm sure it was no loss to your sister
I managed to give birth, breast feed, potty train, get kids to bed etc etc all before the Internet was beamed into our living rooms.

So that's what it means.... I thought it was some sort of secret code.
I've looked on the forums for information before but I have to agree that they are nausiating. All so bloody perfect.

To be fair, it doesn't look much different to this forum.
You get that sort of self-satisfied middle england speak on here, only husband is usually contracted to the equally sickly "hubby".
With the GD section consisting of polls on which countries has the hottest women / worst ale
Bizzare website.
