To roll my eyes at people giving their irrelevant opinions on Mumsnet

It's a public forum, an entertainment. People can write what they like until they break the forum rules.

You sound very old OP.

well, if that is your response, i would suggest the problem is with you, rather than with anyone else

I can't bare them OP. My advise is to take a deep breathe so you don't loose your shit. But you should of brought some imiodum if you was going to eat oysters.

OP, YANBU. It particularly annoys me when someone posts something like that, and another poster ends up having a lengthy and bitter argument with them about it, completely ignoring what the thread is actually about. Eg:

OP: Looking for some advice here. My 12-year-old had a really bad day at school, he is having a few issues with a couple of bullies in his year and he also lost his place on the football team so he was in a really bad mood. He was eating his after school snack just now and his little sister was winding him up and calling him names. He completely lost it called her a cunt and threw his slice of cake at her. Obviously this isn't OK and we've sent him to his room and taken away his phone but the chocolate icing has made a mark on the wall and DH thinks DS should have to pay for it to be cleaned. I said that's too harsh, especially as DD was also at fault. DH has now started divorce proceedings and set fire to our shed in anger and to make matters worse, I've just found out I'm pregnant with quadruplets. Thinking of ending it all at this point, Please help.

Reply1: Off topic but chocolate cake is a really bad after school snack. Try something like hummus and veggie sticks instead of ultra-processed crap full of sugar

Reply2: Chocolate cake is perfectly fine in moderation, I make a really lovely one that's all organic. No kid wants to eat veggie sticks

Reply1: It's not fine, you are literally poisoning your child if you feed them refined sugar, there is research to prove this. It's only because people stuff their kids full of crap from birth that they don't like vegetables, my child prefers celery to a Twix

Reply2: My child ALSO likes celery but he also enjoys a treat and I don't think there's anything wrong with an occasional slice of homemade cake, you're batshit if you think it's poison

Reply1: I would actually say that feeding children sugar is a safeguarding issue

It’s all very well you trying to police people’s postings and opinions, but I’m surprised you have the headspace to do this given the coral reef bleaching crisis. Time to get your priorities straight.

But what if it's about sandals?

After reading this thread, I've just read the one from a woman in the US who wants to leave her loser husband while she has an 8 week old.
Idiots are now questioning whether she really had her pubes shaved for a c-section, as its not what happened to them in the UK. Even though other US posters are saying they had it done, and it's not the fucking reason the OP posted!!

Have you not considered that the chef at the restaurant has ADHD/mental health issues? And I nearly died in a seafood restuarant becasue I'm allergic to shellfish, your post should have a trigger warning.

But seriously, just move house and get a different job.

They can, but it does need to be relevant.

No point whining on about privilege or problems in Gaza, when someone wants an opinion on some shoes.

people can post what they want
