What are your unpopular opinions

[HoneyIgrewthekids]

Was discussing this with DD and her friends and thought it would make a great mumsnet thread.

Here are mine,
I cant stand Eastenders
I find Love Island boring
I dont like Ed Sheeran

If you are going to send your children to boarding school or hire a full time live in au pair to raise them then don't have them.

Ok here goes: we are all “sheeple”. We follow the mainstream, next, wanted “thing”: whether clothes, eyebrows, nails, social media fads/dares, celebrities, politics, cultures on sexuality and gender, environment nonsense, western crap coming from the media and we all believe it and don’t want to believe anything else. We have all been sucked in and we can’t see it yip that’s my opinion but most people don’t care and just want the next latest thing / fad / opinion

That it’s a myth that tights are more comfortable than wearing stockings with a good quality suspender belt.

You can't change your sex.

People place too much faith in their emotions. It's best to let your head have the final say on any important matter.

"Toughen up" is a perfectly good piece of advice in some situations.

@FijateBien Agree 100%

Choosing not to even try to BF is 100% selfish.

No such thing as Transgender woman. You're a man in a dress.

The education system is absolutely fucked, needs a total overhaul and is responsible for destroying many children.

Love him or hate him, a Trump is a business man rather than a diplomatic politician. America and American businesses has benefited from having a business man in the hot seat

He inherited 150million from Daddy 😂 we could all be successful business people with that.

Some parents are just better at doing bedtime than others. It’s not that one person has a more difficult child than another. Reality is that all children are different so they need different approaches, not for their parents to use their differentness as an excuse for shitty bedtime behaviour and lack of control.

Some people are just better at parenting and discipline than others.

Lip fillers are fucking fabulous and I'm actually able to wear lipstick & have a top lip when I smile instead of it disappearing in to thin air after having them

Football and all sports in fact are absolute shite

Lewis Hamilton is a drip and needs to sort his hair out ASAP

Wine is vile, so is Prosecco

Hair bands with pretty bows DO look really cute on babies as do pram shoes

Tattoos are gross and ruin one's body (including the shit ones I have from when I was in my late teens & thought it was 'cool') - I'm looking at you lower back tribal tramp stamp!

Bottle is best

Grey is a fabulous colour and it's absolutely fine to have 90% of your house painted in different shades of it!

If your current ideology, philosophy or new way of doing something fits in a meme it's probably ill-thought out shite..... 'health at every size', 'if you eat animals you can't love animals', 'bacon though'.

Charities waste the money they are donated by a naive public.

If you give your dog away when you have DC, especially if you don't teach your children how to treat dogs, then you should be fined, and never allowed dogs ever again. Or any pet.

People who have got on in life have done so because they have married well or been given huge help, financially or with child care, from their parents, usually both.

Most people who work in office jobs don't work anywhere as hard as they say they do. Most of its busy work. Pay should reflect this.

If you don't work, do your shopping in work hours eg Monday to Friday 9-5. The roads and shops are quieter. People who work don't have as much time as you.
The shops would be so much more pleasant on weekends. FWIW I don't work Mondays, that's when I shop

If you have a penis you can't compete as a woman. You are biologically stronger and it's unfair of not cheating.

Try to BF. If it doesn't work, fine. Denying at the very least colostrum is selfish.

Home educating can be setting your child at a lifelong disadvantage if you don't actually educate them to an equivalent standard

ITV is shit
Reality tv is shit
Soaps are shit
Mainstream entertainment shows are patronising and shit
Daily mail should be banned
Steve Wright should be sacked as he's shit

BearRabbit, bottle is not best for baby, it may be for you ...it's your opinion but you're wrong!

This is a great thread and so far is not 'not going to end well'

Not vaccinating children is child abuse

If Eleanor Rigby died in a church and was buried along with her name but nobody came, HOW DOES PAUL MCCARTNEY KNOW? Unless Father McKenzie wiped his hands on his shirt as he walked from the grave and then frolicked along to Paul's pub to gossip unkindly about a recently dead parishioner. Very poor form.

Tomatoes are the food of the devil. In fact, I'm sure the Bible means tomato and not apple tempted Adam and Eve.

Christmas is depressing.

@Baguetteaboutit
That middle class academics with their head up their ass who dismiss class in favour of talking endlessly about tribes should be the first against the wall come the revolution

I want to be friends with you IMMEDIATELY please

When the global climate finally goes irreversibly pear-shaped, climate change deniers should be forcibly rehomed to the parts of the planet most severely affected.

Pixie crops/hair cuts look awful on every woman.

I dislike:
Reality TV
Soaps
Tattoos particularly on women
Unnatural hair colour on women
Pandora jewellery
Parents who smoke around their children
Parents who swear around their children
ASDA
Sleeveless maxi dresses on large women
Brown nosed colleagues

Selfies should be banned
Football is really tedious, women’s football is even worse.
‘Lionesses’ is a really shit nickname
University tuition fees are a good thing

Marriage is an outdated, weird concept. Why would I contractually attach myself to another person? Living and being with a person in full free will rather than within the contract of a marriage suggests to me a greater commitment. I can’t find the words to express myself properly, I just don’t get the concept of marriage.

Most dog owners are irresponsible but all will tell you they're not.

There are only 2 genders

Recreational drugs can be positively life changing for some people, and we should be given the chance to find out if we're one of them.

'Free will' only makes sense as a religious belief.

Democracy only seems to function when it's a lie being told by the powerful to deceive the stupid - actual democracy is just mob rule and tends to ruin the country that practices it. I'd rather have Prince Charles become the direct ruler of the country than any democratic politician I'm currently aware of - he may be a bit out of touch, but he genuinely seems to care about the environment and long term benefit of the country.

I think that climate change will force our governments to become brutal tyrannies and that if we don't start preparing and accepting we won't be able to preserve any of the values we currently enjoy.
