Mumsnet Reviews 592

I'm in my 17th year of Mumsnetting - it's part of my daily life. I don't wear Boden, however. The hive mind has helped me through some very difficult times and some trivial issues, has honed my... See more

I’ve been a member of Mumsnet for many years and, overall, I find it a great site. I’ve learnt so much during my time from other posters and have often found the discussions insightful and supportive... See more

The hive mind of Mumsnet is generally informative, supportive and funny. It’s a busy site so obviously sometimes people give some really nasty responses to posters genuinely looking for advice. I repo... See more

Full of useful advice, good laughs, supportive posters and one of the few places in the last decade where you could discuss women's rights without getting banned or piled on. There are little niggl... See more

Mumsnet remains the first place I go for online advice about everything from fridge freezers to insomnia cures to coaching tips to skincare. I am so grateful for the wisdom I have been able to access... See more

I love Mumsnet. It's a privilege to be able to call on a huge pool of wonderful women from across the world, and get advice on all sorts of topics. I've laughed and cried with MN over the years, and h... See more

paywall. all these sites followed a pattern. turn to 'bottom-bin' ads a few years back, lose revenue, erect a cookie paywall to circumvent privacy. TV isn't targeted, yet gives companies 4x ROI. why ?... See more

Someone posted a nasty post that sneered at the people writing on a thread that was intended as a bit of a giggle. The thread was a 'what's the worst thing your teen kid has done?' and this humo... See more

The lack of moderation has emboldened the racist posters in a way that is really hard to stomach. A recent post about seeing someone say"They're like rats, it might help if we stop giving them everyth... See more

Men, be aware! This forum is primarily for women, and men need to respect that. Don't go complaining if your reception isn't always friendly, but if you go on it with an attitude that you're there... See more

A large site, plenty of chat to join in with. The women on there are intelligent and feisty, caring and kind and there's nowhere better to discuss everything from current affairs to nappy cream. It's... See more

Mumsnet is an excellent site and is the most fantastic support for Mums at all stages of parenting. It is great that so many different views are aired and there is space for dissenting voices. After... See more

I have been on Mumsnet for over 10 years. Came for the nappies, stayed for the conversation which is way above most "social media" spaces. From Professionals to Stay at home mums, from Council esta... See more

I’ve been a member on Mumsnet for many years; since my children were toddlers (they are now all grown up). I came for the parenting advice and stayed for the witty, warm, fierce women I found th... See more

I usually just read Mumsnet and don't get involved with drama. Today I reported someone for the first time.The poster was just being snotty to a first time mum and I thought it unkind. Not a huge dea... See more

Really difficult to balance freedom of speech and yet keep MN a safe space in which people can discuss contentious issues. Often the most banal subject can become heated because of a few OP/PPs who do... See more

Here is yet another example of an account being disabled without any prior notice or explanation. It is certainly uneven moderating IMO and does the site no favours It seems that some members don'... See more

Absolutely horrendous experience and will never, ever use again. I had put up a post for the very first time regarding my sons speech delay, and wow... everyone is a doctor and has the ability to di... See more

Had my profile banned and seems like a bullying cesspit for people with real problems. Not everyone is articulate but the pile on and bullying is disgusting and then account is removed. Who removes... See more

Can’t read a thread says I need to disable my adblocker. If you are going to force this then you must not benefit from good SEO with Google. I am googling to get advice on something I need t... See more

I joined Mumsnet while pregnant with my second child; I was in a bad state mentally and wanted some support from other mums. I was so wrong, comments from other “mums” made me cry for days. People hid... See more

My traumatised daughter wanted guidance but received nasty attitude, she tried to delete her post but was told that ‘since others had taken time to reply, it’s not fair on them to delete’. Wow!.. orga... See more

Made the mistake of posting a thread in the wrong area and my goodness the floodgates opened! It seems a place for highly opinionated people & bullies to get their easy fix! Definitely not supportive... See more

In response to the reply of my review, so basically you are calling me the bully? I wished I had screenshot the whole lot, a little tip to all if you are being piled on by bullies to your general que... See more

I too have witnessed very questionable behaviour and moderation today. In my opinion, this is not a rare occurrence. In fact I have been on the receiving end of it myself. It may be t... See more

I love Mumsnet; it is a great source of information on a huge range of topics, and I joined because I am in the process of becoming a foster carer. But I find I am delving into it many times... See more

Mumsnet has been a ballast for so many Mums who seek a place to have conversation on tricky topics. I don't always post, but I value the conversations that happen, even when I don't agree. We need m... See more

I posted as I was feeling very low. Having lost my Mum, Dad and Sister it hits you sometimes unexpectedly. The kindness towards me from strangers was something I'll never forget. Thank you and to Mum... See more

There are some mean and spiteful people on Mumsnet, who seem to delight in having a go at posters who are experiencing problems, rather than offering helpful advice. I'm quite sure that the helpful... See more

Fantastic site, has provided useful advice for years which has been enormously helpful to me, as well as many hours of reading and engaging in threads both light-hearted and serious. An invaluable sou... See more

What a community. A place I feel I can safely write and be authentic amongst users who support one another. So much helpful advice and content I trust. Those complaining seem to be users banned or... See more

I have always found Mumsnet to be a valuable source of information, advice and support for all aspects of parenting. It is an open minded site, and inclusive of views and opinions no matter who agrees... See more

I am a long-time user and occasionally need to report a post. MumsnetHQ doesn't always agree with me, but I feel like they always take reports seriously and address them quickly. Good job, MNHQ

Mumsnet (or Angry Birds as my husband calls it) has been part of my life since being pregnant with my first baby, who’s now 12. I don’t know what I’d have done without it to turn to when I was a... See more

Well, that's me never using mumsnet ever again. You can't use the site unless you sell your data to them, how despicable and slimy. I hope people do not support them, I think it's disgraceful.... See more

I have been on Mumsnet roughly five years and love the wide subject matter. I now consider myself a Mumsnetter and I'm a male and learnt so much from the female perspective.
