'Is it OK to take my kids out of school for a holiday? holidays are more educational than a week in school anyway'

But i always get sucked in., And my Blood Pressure rises alarmingly!

For me it's the fussy eating ones where some people suggest that fussy eating is purely a manifestation of indulgent parenting and that quote 'no child has ever starved themselves to death'.

I steer well clear of any thread that's likely to get even the slightest bit contentious these days. Breast v bottle and SAHM v WOHM always used to have me hyperventilating, turning green and throwing things at the monitor, so I don't even click on them now.

I can't stop myself clicking on fat-bashing threads though. And they always get my dander up.

I actively avoid relationship problem threads because my 'tell him to piss off and get some self-esteem' advice probably wouldn't go down to well.

Can't resist poo threads!

Its the ' I saw a women in Sainsburys giving her child UNPAID for banana chips and NOT talking to them constantly in educational type way' which get me gander up.

I have been mildly successful in staying away lately.

any thread which seems to imply that faith schools are somehow more unfair than any of the other distortions in the education system...
