Whenever i google a question, quite often the first thing to come up is a mumsnet thread. I have fallen down rabbit holes of reading the most active threads, and quite frankly I would not like to use it to ask for any advice. Certain sections of the boards are an absolute cesspit, full of hate and judgement. If you have an opinion, expect it to be shot down on one thread, and then on another thread you will be right and the star of the show (for the same opinion).

It is also, unfortunately, well known for pushing transphobic views which are extremely damaging.

I read some of it and just have to laugh because it’s so, so ridiculous. Maybe it’s because it’s full of middle class people and that’s absolutely not the demographic I fall into.

Though to be fair, if you do find it useful, there are other sections than just parenting. You don’t have to have kids to be on there, but just prepare yourself.
