I’m 55. feel too young for gransnet but too old for mumsnet.

I kept this thread from MN because I think it gives a good balance,
"AIBU To ask how much you expect to see your adult children?" From a young mother to older parents.
Sorry couldn't do a full link.
The op is a bit hostile, but most of the other replies (9 pages) show that they have a friendly relations between the generations.

My friend was a Grandmother at 48 and she kept quiet about about it as she also found she was being judged as too old for things she still liked to do.

As to the Archers I still listen occasionally, but it seems to me there are plenty on GN who listen regularly but knitters or people like me who have knitted so many garments that I'm quite an expert, don't appear much on GN.

Bye the way knitting is being Creative and whilst knitting most of us do something else like watch TV or listen to the radio and I also think a lot when knitting, the hands moving and the brain being constantly engaged in THINK mode.

Perhaps some on Mumsnet should try it.

No, Jalimall, I did not say the 12 were lying.

GN investigated it and said it was not edited, so was it thought that GN were lying?

I think the 12 that say it was changed just remembered it wrongly. It is easy to make a mistake.

I think I must be too old even for Gransnet. DD2 and family went to a castle today and she’s just sent me a video of DGS2 jousting “like you used to do at school, Mum”. What I actually did was fencing.

for me please! And save me a bit of that . I’ve got a wine cellar, Lazigirl. It’s actually where the coal used to be kept but I’m posher now.

I'm not sure I can cope with all that knitting, retirement and Archers talk unless I've had a couple of Hang about I like the Archers

That's OK Jalima, Lazigirl's bringing the . I'll get the kettle on so there's a for anyone who's teetotal

I didn't offer in case you're all teetotal

So you are saying that 12 Gransnetters lied then, janemar?

Why cant people accept they are wrong, 12 people have one opinion, the rest of us and GNHQ have said it has not been changed. Could one of the 12 say what was to be gained by GN lying about it?

And we certainly won't remember if anything's been edited

All cakes welcome. I'll raid the cellar and bring that along too.(not the cellar, which is actually the kitchen cupboard). After a few glasses we won't know who posted what when

Ooh if you're bringing Jalima you're very welcome indeed. I think we can even waive the fee .

Oh, and welcome Lazigirl - yes, the power of suggestion is the perfect, succinct way of explaining it

Very small, I hope

I will bring

Yes, you are welcome for a small(ish) fee.

Are you forming a clique?

I said several posts ago that I thought people had been mixed up about original and subsequent posts, so you can add me to your list of dissenters Bathsheba & pp. it's a perfect example of power of suggestion.

Well if the world comes crashing down around us maggie we'll still have each other - oh and *pollyperkins of course!

I'm running with you, Bathsheba, as I completely agree! GNHQ have confirmed what we thought, that nothing's been changed, and I can't see any reason on this earth for them to lie about it.

I think bee's probably hiding somewhere with her tin hat on as well, having watched the conspiracy theory evolve.

I don't think it was changed. I thought so at first after it was mentioned but when I looked again more closely I decided the 12.44 comment about knitting and the Archers was what I'd read. Hard now to remember the OP!! Why would it be changed if the 12.44 post wasn't removed? Makes no sense!I don't think it was changed.

Exactly pollyp! Why indeed? As for anyone saying that a dozen people can't all be suffering from false memory syndrome, well I think they probably can be. Someone mentions that the OP has been edited, someone else reads that mention and thinks, Oh yes, I think maybe it has - they then post in support of the first mention. Now there are two people who believe it's been changed, and more people start to think it's true. In the end there are a dozen are so who have all convinced themselves that it must be true because, after all, surely they can't all be delusional.... (runs for cover with tin hat firmly in place)

Can I just put in a plea regarding OP’s not returning to their posts for ages!
It strikes me that life can sometimes get in the way of updating GN! it did with me the one time I started a thread! It wasn’t a fake post, and I didn’t return because I went into hospital. Others may have similar life events that prevent them checking back on their thread! So please don’t jump to the wind up opinion straight away?
I mention this as someone has already raised this as an issue.

Don't buzz off bee

Bee63 has been posting for at least 4 years - why is she suddenly wondering whether or not she's too young for us?
