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

• red wine is vile
• jeremy corbyn is probably our best option (unless people actually voted green)
• ff because you can't be bothered is selfish
• using your partners phone/computer is fine

"electric cars are bad for the earth, diesel is better, so what if it kills a few people."

Does more than kill a few people. Someone's eyes need opening.

Wedding dresses always look ridiculous. Women wearing them (even when very slim) look like pork sausages vacuum packed into a condom.

If cat owners want their cats to roam outside they should escape proof their own garden to keep them within their perimeter.

Having an indoor cat is sellllffffffish. They are outdoor animals and it’s like putting them in prison.

People who don't like pets are on the sociopathic spectrum.

Burglary is an under rated crime.

When caught they should be put in a cage and the home owner be able to give them electric shocks similar to this by way of punishment -

Black leather is cool but motorcycling leathers should be in a range of bright/neon colours so that they are more visible.

I'm not a fan of dogs or cats.

I don't like drinking to get hammered, hen night enforced jollity type events. I'd rather have an early night.

Children don't belong in pubs. You can't do the same things when you're a parent, just accept it.

Women who think the 'have to' change their names upon marriage are thick.

'Women who think the 'have to' change their names upon marriage are thick.'

Or, they just choose to do so.

I do not care whether women change their surname to their partners when they get married or keep their own but the ones that keep their own but think they are superior to those that do change their names, are silly, smug twats.

Cats that aren't allowed outside aren't happy and never will be. They basically live in a very big prison.

Screens are bad for everyone, adults and children alike. Children should be kept away from screens as long as possible. Parents who go on about educational screen time are just kidding themselves.

No one looks better as they age (unless they used to be fat and then lost a lot of weight). Youth in itself is beauty.

If a couple both want to continue working full time in professional high powered careers, they maybe should confront the notion that they can't have it all and just choose work over having children. Sending your kids to boarding school because you don't have time to raise them is awful!

Soola , we are superior!
People can choose whatever name they like to use...those that think they 'have to' are thick.

@roisinagusniamh I misunderstood you.

I agree with this but a lot of times people are completely assholes to childfree people

People who talk about formula being poison should find something important to worry about.

You cannot do anything you want if you try hard enough.

There's no excuse for being obese, and if you are I judge you and I say this as someone who could lose half a stone.

If your kids are overweight it's child abuse.

There's no excuse not to work once your kids start school unless you can stay home without claiming any benefits.

Teachers, nurses and police deserve no more respect than any other profession. You chose your career knowing the salaries/hours/annual leave. I work within the NHS and it baffles me that NHS/Police etc get discounts in shops and restaurants, what makes them so special to get such a thing.

Unruly and ill mannered children are the products of shit parents. If you have no back bone to discipline you have no right to produce children.

I judge you if you don't iron clothes. You look a mess.

Oh and if you put your child in full time nursery you shouldn't have had one until you could be bothered raising it yourself.

We should double teacher's pay and sack more of the crap ones - I know there's a few that can maybe be saved with training and support but we all know teachers who are really crap and should just move on and do something else.

Men should pay on dates and be prepared to be a breadwinner if they want a family

I'm on a roll...

People that get paracetamol/ibuprofen/calpol/vitamins on prescription are selfish. The only exception is OAPs.

Vegans are without fail the most boring people on earth.

I like Amanda Holden.

Social media is the worst thing to ever be invented.

We should be charged for a GP appointment. It's a simple fact that the UK doesn't have enough GP's. More than half of GP appointments could have been dealt with by a trip to the chemist, a phone call with a GP or a nurse appointment.
