MoneySaving Mums

A question about : MoneySaving Mums

What's the new board for?

Have you just found out you're going to be a mum and have no idea what nappies cost?

Mum of several and don't know how to afford all the school dinners?

If you're a mum and a MoneySaver this is the place to discuss your MoneySaving issues.

For general questions not related to MoneySaving please post on the Marriage, Relationships & Families board.

Best answers:

• Erm why are mum and dads separate? Surely they both have similar issues and ideas?
• Your really taking this whole segregation thing to the extremes now. There was nothing wrong with how the board was to begin with and believe it or not there were actually expectant FATHERS who post on the pregnancy threads so your cutting those off by putting all those threads under Money Saving Mums. Just like when someone has to leave the less than 12 week pregnant thread due to miscarriage they get it reiterated that there now not going to be a mum.
  Just put it back to how it was please!!!!
• I think someone needs to have a serious sit down at MSE and decide what you are going to do with the boards!
  Every time I log on TTC is in a different place on the boards!!
  Why on earth can't everything be on marriage, relationships and families?!
  I don't understand the sub-boards at all - I don't think they are necessary.
  Can you not have a poll or something to gain peoples opinions??
  And then once a decision is made STICK to it! I'm getting dizzy trying to chase the TTC board!!
• This is getting really silly now - whats wrong with 'Money Saving Parents'??
• ............and how do you know if a poster is a mum or a dad or anyone else caring for children unless they say so..........
• Someone at MSE Towers has taken leave of their senses.
• You know what they need... One big board, they could call it, oh, Marriage, Couples and Family perhaps?
  What was wrong with 'family'? Surely it covers all the different situations where people are raising children, instead of the restrictive and divisive mums and dads.
• Money saving 'mums'? What about dads or a male same-sex couple?
  Moneysaving parents would be more inclusive.
• Hang on ... is somebody (in the background) trying to collate stats/data about forum members by assessing which forum they post in? So they can determine the 'female' usernames because they post in MS Mums, and the 'male' usernames because they post in MS Dads? So that they can use it for marketing purposes?
  Otherwise, I can see no benefit to the two separate boards. In fact, why are we being subjected to these separate boards at all? Was there any problem with the original arrangement?
• Hey guys, I'm really confused! Which is the best group to join if you want advice on money saving as a mum or dad. Seems confusing....
• Please will you get rid of these ridiculous segregated boards. In my opinion it is a ridiculous backward step. Fewer boards is the answer to making this site more user-friendly and accessible - not more!
• Still struggling to understand why there are these separate boards. The criteria for which thread goes where doesn't even seem to be being followed. For example why is the main pregnancy thread on Money Saving Mums, but the Less than 12 Weeks and the 12 - 24 Weeks Pregnant threads both on the main board??
  It's a mess.
• nomanemb bumping post count up
• Also sweety wise, she gets 20p Milky Bars. Others, like Chocolate stars, can cost 70p!
  I've told her to always get what has the price on the packet, so she knows she wont be stung at the till!
  OOps! sorry wrong thread!

• Amelia, I agree with you. I'm new here and find the whole forum confusing. Really if I want to discuss being a Mum I would return to MumsnetReally wasted my time on that website!). I don't need to discuss relationships on here either. Just Want to figure out if I can make things better for my family Parent Money saver would suit me. But I'm new what do I know!
  Just wanted to say thank Mother nature I have found this webisite> I might be able to afford to go back to part-time already on the road to saving lots of money just wanted to share my progress and success> plus figure out if my fuel bills are normal (it doesn't look like it!) and where to buy good and cheaper school shoes.
  I also don't know how to add the fancy stuff about myself in fancy colours that others have done.
