Mrs Grips and I had a long discussion last night about the relative merits and otherwise of the Mothers' discussion site Mumsnet versus STW.
Anyone else a dual STW/MN household?

Apparently there are far more relationship trouble threads.. and the MNers tend to gang up against the posters' other halves...

Mrs Crack Fox found some 'useful' stuff on here about Child Care Vouchers the other day and told me it was like the Bike To Work Scheme. So I think they cover all the same topics.

Balls.
I thought you were arranging a rumble between the two.
(sigh......)

I lurk on Mumsnet when bored by both work & STW.
The Relationships threads are frighteningly addictive but make me wonder what the hell is going on in the world. So many problems, so few answers.
And lots of very explicit sex advice.Posted 1 year ago # -
They know **** all about fork travel settings, mind.

According to my Mrs, the rel ones are all quite one-sided...
I thought you were arranging a rumble between the two.
We would have no chance!

Is oral sex unfaithful? Snogging? Kissing on the mouth? On the ear?
I prefer it here.

And I have the slightest handle on the acronymns.
What on earth does "DP" stand for in their world?

Its like a series of 'Take A Break' headlines.
"me and alcohol have ruined my family"
"i have never had a rich man....."
"so he thinks marriage is a waste of time but i dont?"
etc.
What on earth does "DP" stand for in their world?
In what context. Use it in a sentence

"My DP has never cheated on me and I trust him 100%"

"My DP has never cheated on me and I trust him 100%"
Oh it is not what I thought it was then....
Erm....dead partner would fit I guess. It would also explain why he hasn't cheated on her.

A dead partner over there is more common than a 3-legged cat over here. So common it has its own acronym. The mind boggles...

Phew...there was me thinking mumsnet was occupied by necrophiles .

I think hanging around with people who actually referred to someone as "my darling partner" would turn me into a proper, full-on mysogynist pretty fast.

I've been on a mailing list for mums whose births were in October 1996 since early in that year.
We used the acronym DH for 'darling husband' which over the years has been usefully transmutated into 'dickhead' for many of the former darlings!

If you want really soppy, up-own-backside, boggled-eyed girly things, go onto one of the wedding web forums. You and your wedding is as lively as any.
Some of the advise about losing weight verges on the damn right dangerous.I was given an ASBO for my comments to one bride who was trying to lose something like 50lbs in 63 days and no one had an issue with that! "He'll really want you to lose the weight, good luck Puppy-scrunchie, only one choc' bar in bed tonight with your can of Special Brew" - well, you get the picture!

Uh oh, am I in trouble now? Just waiting for this thread to get cross posted...

I just find a load of stupid women talking forever about crap utterly tedious.
Maybe I am a mysogynist after all....

I once had a thread come up in a google search and had a look.
Imagine the religious arguments we have over things like helmets, tubeless and communists spending other people's money VS top hat wearing capitalists eating babies.
There's about that level of bile and judgementalism. But about things that actually matter to people's lives - bringing up kids, getting divorces etc. Horrible place.

LizMmmm is addicted to Babycentre, which is similar. She reads it in the middle of the night whilst she's feeding the LO (little one) our DD (darling daughter) and her DH (darling husband) is snoring. I reserve STW for daylight hours.

For me, a very swift scan of Mumsnet has left this phrase embedded in my brain;
Perhaps he has no idea what he's doing and just vaguely sticks his nose into your ladygarden while going bibbble?
I feel we should all don our best pirate-troll hats and take a saunter over there....!

FWIW, my wife thinks STW is the (marginally) bike related equivalent of Mumsnet. She's not wrong.
