They think we are boring & sedate

Should we just leave them in peace before they start infiltrating us?

Thing is, it seems that it's often the over-fifties on the thread who poke fun. Then go on about how 'young' they are. That quote about protesting too much springs to mind. Funny!

Ok, fess up! Which of you I is Morecatsthankids?

I guess it's a good place for the kids to let off steam! I wonder what I would have said in my 30s, if I could be sure my mother wasn't reading it.

I'm fairly sure that if my DD does post on Mumsnet (I know she reads it) she wouldn't have posted on that thread since I don't fit the profile

I would have loved Mumsnet when my children were little. Very useful in many areas.

Humph! As I may have said before, just because we don't ask questions about willy dunking.....................

notyetpastit is definitely one of us!

Not only do they think we are boring some of them think we actually don't exist! Perhaps we are invisible after all as per another thread.
As an aside: I have to say I don't like some of the choices of names. Very behind- the-bike sheds

Digestive biscuit dunking is more in our line!

Ana not me!

DD is a member of what is now Real Mothers, but used to be Bad Mothers' Club. I have a look now and then, and find it much more down to earth than MN.

Ana - you've 'outed' me

Well done, lucyinthesky! A blow for us all...

I would guess that the shagging thread is just an example of a generation that thinks it invented sex whereas we know that we did.

so we did, absent so we did!

Ana don't know whether I have time or inclination to post on Mumsnet regularly though, Would rather be boring on Gransnet Must get back to my knitting, baking, gardening, reading etc etc

Philip Larkin said sex was invented in 1963, oh yes, you are right Absent we did invent it.

And Larkin put it in writing, so we can prove it!

But we are the mums and dads of mumsnetters, and what else did Larkin say?
It's all our fault!

Well, I was shocked (blush) . Too many naughty rude words for me!

But it is said that I'm too serious sometimes.

Whoops, well, where are the square brackets on an IPad?

Press 123 then#+= buttons

That's the buttons labelled 123 not the numbers

Duh! Thank you Galen, never seen that before. .

You know something – I don't care what they think about us.

Nor me absent

Me neither!
