Why have we joined up with Mumsnet.

It's part of the same organisation.

We're the poor relation.

We're just an offshoot of Mumsnet, surely?

They have government funding to set up an initiative to encourage the over 50s to use expletives in everyday sentences

Is it okay if we use our own favourite expletives? Mine is "buttocks".

Really? Granddaughter aged 5 just told me daddy uses the rude word to mummy (that sounds like duck) when he’s cross. Just pondering whether to mention to parents or not. Don’t want friction with SIL. What would you do?

Where is Mumsnet tacked on, though?
I'm not seeing it.

Has Daddy been on Mumsnet, learning new words?

No, don't mention it.

You already overstepped once.

I do enjoy the Mumsnet Swears By section. Seems appropriate to me but anyway there has been some good suggestions on it.

I know that if I were to mention anything to my daughter in relation as to how she or her husband speak she would tell me to duck off
It won’t be long before your granddaughter hears this at school.
What are you going to do the then? speak to the school?

I think Gransnet is Mumsnet without the effs.

To answer the OP, Mumsnet is the parent, we are the offshoot. We are second class citizens as the Mumsnet platform has much better features than Gransnet. No idea why these don't apply to both.

Mumsnet can be hysterical love it. It was from that site I found this one. I look at both a few times a week. Gransnet can get a bit too political at times, which tbh puts me off.
As for the expletives well I think they are OK, its everyday life now.

Low self esteem is a horrible place to be, I have been there

It is so worth looking for help and addressing it.

Sorry wrong thread

?
did i miss something.

oh, ok.

Meryl streep- of course … you are right!! Good advice - I’ll keep my mouth shut!! 5 yr old prob testing me out with her almost rude word
