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

All dogs stink of dog. Some owners just stop being able to smell it.

Combi feeding is massively underrated and would keep more babies getting at least some breast milk for longer if healthcare professionals are allowed to promote it.

James Corden is a massive dickhead who isn't funny and carpool karaoke is cringey and crap.

Maloof I don't know how every circumstance would fall into a 'few minute' phone call, after which I'm guessing the GP would either hang up? Or charge for the full appointment? Ignoring the fact that if I were to ring up my doctor's and ask to speak to one on the phone, I'd get a 'huh? Make an appointment to see one please I can't just put you through'.
Anyway, not wanting to get into a debate about it, was just wondering if you thought time goes quicker on the phone than in person or that we're entitled to speak to GPs just to avoid paying out, which you would prefer people to do for some reason. But not you, because you can just ring yours up for free.
Good luck to you!

@Sagradafamiliar phone calls still have to be booked. Of course you can't just ring and expect to be put straight through to a GP. It's still an appointment, just not a physical one.I don't know of any surgery that doesn't offer phone call appointments.

Bear Rabbit, you are wrong....it's best for you but not for your baby . Formula is fine but it is not best. It's a fact .

Then I don't see the difference in terms of the physical appointments being charged, and the telephone ones free malhoof. The phone call app would be more convenient to the patient so maybe they should have a fixed fee...not that I'd agree with that.

Whenever there’s a Reddit thread about celebs who are assholes in real life his name and examples always crops up

@Sagradafamiliar I wasn't suggesting the calls would be free, but certainly a lot cheaper than appointment double the time.

@Hithere12 really? I thought everyone loved him and found him hilarious. I think he gives off the vibe that he could be really arrogant and unpleasant. I have no idea how he's done so well for himself as I don't find him remotely funny, even on gavin and Stacey

I just think he's a show off.

it's best for you but not for your baby sometimes best for you is best for your baby - that's a fact too!

I'm curious what disabilities/chronic illnesses needs to be physically seen each and every time.

Someone non verbal or with a learning disability who can't tell you what is wrong. They already have poorer life expectancy and this would compound that.

-Kids shouldn't be encouraged into STEM subjects - it's sold as mixing fun potions in a lab, when in reality they'll be stuck in some wanky office staring at code & spreadsheets and discussing regulations, "strategy" and "vision" in meetings with a bunch of boring squares. Most corporate office jobs are pointless and more people should be encouraged into trades, practical jobs, creative jobs, self-employment and public services

-Glasto looks shit, I'd rather drink a cup of cold sick than camp in a field full of people high on drugs. Camping is not a holiday, it's torture.

-Recreational drugs should be legalised, people have responsibility over themselves

-People that go to the gym to lose weight yet drive 3 miles to work instead of cycling are ridiculous

-All sports are boring and shit, every last one

-Most people have no style and blindly follow whatever "trend" is being currently sold to us, even if it's hideous and doesn't suit them at all

-Everybody is judgemental, people who say "I would never judge" are lying!

And no not every time but more times simply because they have a learning disability. Therefore a tax on being disabled.

-People can't get on a high horse about reality TV being boring when they'll happily sit and watch cricket for 3 hours

Children have far too high of a status in society today.

Some people are comfortably off living on benefits.

Excluding a minority of genuine body dysmorphia cases, transgenderism in the young is a fashion trend. Teenagers used to get their ears pierced a second or third time, dye their hair, grow it long or cut it short to get attention and attempt to shock. Escalation of the same thing.

Sometimes Wholelotta, really ?
Everyone knows breast is best . If it doesn't work out, formula is fine . But don't try and say it's better because it's not.
Jeez !!

@roisinagusniamh yeah really - the good mental health of the mother is of primary importance to the infant - but that's not what this thread is about - so I'll withdraw from this debate with you, as it's derailing.

Having any type of bird as a pet should be banned unless they are allowed complete freedom.
Men generally make poor spouses.

I hate gin and wine.

I love eating meat and am not particularly bothered about ethics in that area.

Hot weather is fucking awful.

Mumsnet acronyms are shit. DH, DM, DS, DD, blah blah blah - just write properly.

I hate tatoos

Fatness should not be celebrated, despite the current vogue for obese people 'owning their bikini bodies'.

Being obese is, in the vast majority of cases, bad for you and avoidable. And the taxpayer will have to foot the bill via the NHS.

I dislike

Films
Alcoholic
Dogs
Music that is guitar based...shudder
