Their children must be mortified.

Well, he's got what he wanted, his name in the papers again. All Mr O'Connor ever does is done for self-publicity and without thought given for anyone on earth apart from himself. He really is an odious creep.

Huh. I’m a mum and I thoroughly disapprove of Coco Pops.

These chumps would spontaneously combust if they had to spend a day as a woman. I manage to roll my eyes and ignore worse than this every day.

Well, as DD’s father does not pay maintenance, I cannot see that he has much choice in her cereal choices (not CocoPops) and DS’s das does not have him overnight so no cereal involved there either.

Anecdotal survey of two, but that passes as evidence over on another thread.

The slogan may be sexist, but women still do the majority of the childcare so I cannot get too worked up about it.

God I bet they are going to start up their bullshit again. Latching onto trans activism hasn't got them to squash feminism, so enough time has passed since they SWATted MN, they hope people have forgotten, so now they can start pretending they are 'caring ordinary dads' buying cereals for their kids, rather than obsessive entitled men who don't want to pay child support or adhere to their contact restrictions.

I hope people aren't stupid they cant see they want to destroy family and child protection laws..

Not much thought went to the minimum wage worker who likely had to clear up the mess.

Have you posted this on any of the sticker threads? Wink

ErrolTheDragon · 05/09/2018 00:51

its gender stereotyping.

It is. What's their point? Confused
And I bet most Mumsnet mums don't approve of coco pops. Grin

well according to the comments on twitter its gender stereotyping.

And sexist...................i wonder how many of F4J would be willing to say the same about women being expected to wax their legs.

I agree the message is sexist, just not in the way they think it is...

IAmLurkacus · 05/09/2018 00:22

They really need to get jobs so they can pay their child support. Wankers.
