I think I need to join mumsnet!

axisus · October 2014

I google for some info on physio vs osteo, and one of the top results was a discussion on mumsnet. I've heard of mumsnet mentioned before but didn't actually know what it was really like. I clicked to look at the thread and the site is down today, but so the mum's could get their daily 'fix' they posted a list of popular threads. Well, I have to admit that I got dragged into reading a few and it was all rather funny! I think I'm gonna have to join the party!

wowser it must really hurt for you to get involved with those mentalists. Are you sure you aren't overdoing the painkillers? ;-)

They use weird acronyms to refer to family members on that site. You will need this:

I was looking on mumsnet a while back - it had some useful information about schooling on there.

I think you need to take a long hard look at your life.

Worse. He confused his painkillers with some oestrogen pills..........

The big question has to be, is he being unreasonable? :P

Apparently they're having a bit of a recruitment drive.

Mumsnet women suffer everything worse than men. So you might do well to get some advice on there.

They will have walked 40km in a day (According to their fitness monitor wristband) whilst sedentarily watching Jeremy Kyle all day and driving the Range Rover about for an hour for no reason really, in peak traffic times of course.

They will have experienced back pain like no one would believe, just by bending over to pick up the shopping or possibly just waking up from their afternoon slumber. A bullet in the spine, or a herniated disc just won't compare to the pain they have to suffer.

They will have experienced the most lethargy and fatigue from overwork and physical abuse of their bodies that is ever known to mankind, even though they have never really had a job and have never done a days graft in their entire existence.

Their mental problems just don't even compare to anyone else's due to the stress they are under doing nothing all day and spending other people's money, either taxpayer's, their husbands or ex husbands.

They are probably the most extremely busy people in the world, even though they have nothing to do with their time, other than self indulge, watch Jeremy Kyle, oh and drive around in their Range Rovers in peak traffic times, again for no particular reason.

They will know all the local acupuncturists, shrinks, therapists, quacks, you name it, on the continent or at least the most expensive.

They will have visited their GP's practice more times in the week, then there are days, even though nothing is evidently wrong with them.

Their pain thresholds and endurance levels are possibly the highest known to mankind, for example, they only need to seek emergency care at A&E via ambulance, when they break a nail.

And you want to join these crazy, manic, self obsessed, greed driven, beauty obsessed narcissists?

You can try and infiltrate them, but when they find out the extent of lies and who you really are, ie. what sex you are. They will crucify you.

Sambostar · October 2014

I tell you what. Let's have a little practice on here first to prepare you, so you don't blow your cover.

oooo, my wrists are killing me typing this...

You missed out the catastrophic parking skills of said Range Rover wielding lunatics.

They can park very well. They just don't in public.....

Looked at their acronyms

WRT must have been nicked as our maths lecturers used to use it for With Respect To. I often use "wrt" when talking about an interval "wrt" a root, as some people get confused between the root of a scale, and a note from that scale which is selected to be the root of a chord that you're building.

It worries me somewhat that mumsnet apparently has so much influence. Do we really want a society that is influenced by a bunch of people who care more about nappies and baby buggies than anything else?

I've always loved mumsnet since discovering what the top google hit is if you innocently try to find their view of center parcs. Just type "center parcs mumsnet" into google and enjoy.

I could never be with a woman who won't "go to center parcs"

"Why not do some research into anal sex. You might find you like it."

WTF?? WhatTheVeryFuckingFuck? This is mumsnet! Are you quite normal?
Are you going to suggest I get into a leather outfit and take a shit on a glass coffee table next, because I might "like it".
Dear Lord in heaven

What an uptight ninny.
