I read, and I post very occasionally. Sometimes very blunt, but also refreshingly not hypocritical and not po faced. Fair bit of swearing though.

I'm on, but very much as a lurker rather than a poster. It irks me how they use IABU for everything! e.g. "AIBU to wonder if my boyfriend's ex-partner still fancies him?" or "AIBU to ask if you would rather have a curry or a roast dinner?" etc etc ad nauseum!

I read but don't post anymore and deregistered a couple of years ago. There are too many rude, aggressive posters who think nothing of hurling personal comments and catty remarks at anyone they don't agree with. Shocking to think that many of them are mothers.

No

Read but don’t post, too young for me on there!

I look in occasionally and contribute very rarely; I find it aggressive and am surprised at how rude the contributors are to each other. I'm also not keen on the amount of foul language used.

Yes. But I'm trying to stay away. It's addictive.

I do love the cutthroat attitudes on there though. But it IS horrifically transphobic so I stay away from the feminism forums to avoid getting dragged in.

I had a look a while ago but it seemed too fast for me to follow.

Yes I dont find it aggressive to be honest but I dont go on AIBU. I have learnt a lot from MN.

Nope.

By definition, all grandmothers are also mothers. I regularly contribute to Mumsnet but to be honest, there is so much aggression on there, I an very hesitant to post anything there now.
