What’s your unpopular opinion?

[Robin198]

Weddings. I’m just not a fan. I’m delighted when friends get married but generally find the day long and boring. Yes, I’ve been to some absolutely beautiful weddings and had a lovely time but generally speaking, I’d prefer to be doing something else.

That’s my unpopular opinion!

I've name changed because I know this is going to be super controversial, but the idea of having children by different men gives me the absolute ick.

And I'm a step parent so my DH has had children with different women (me and his ex), which I also find a bit urgh on his behalf.

I never used to feel this way or give it any thought at all really. I've no idea what's different or why I've changed the way I think about it.

The care home I know of has just put the fees up to 7k a month!!

I think non-white bedding looks awful- grimy and studenty.
white towels all the way.
I love tiny babies in white- they look all crisp and clean. Pastel colours ok, brights look awful.

Interesting. I have a CFS diagnosis but I agree on the cult-like nature of the online chronic illness community. I don’t join in with it. Many wear it as a badge of honour. I also absolutely HATE the phrase “spoon theory”. I get the concept and think there is some truth in the idea of having a finite amount of energy or that overexerting oneself can bring on a crash but who decided to give it such a fucking stupid twee infantilising name?!

Being obese isn't a disease but it really is about far more than eat less and move more

I don't care about trans until you insist on using sex based spaces - sex, not gender

Weddings and sun holidays are boring

Most people dont look inwardly at their own faults enough and are generally selfish

Hardly any of these are unpopular opinions. They're just a bunch of Mumsnetters outting themselves as disablist and racist and pretending that they're edgy.

That certain vaccines are killing people worldwide but so far, its been covered up. It is my 'opinion'.

You should have to pass a stringent test to own a dog. You should have to pass a homecheck and pass a test on the breed you want.

You should have to sign up for 18 months training.

Breeding should be tightly regulated. Owning an animal is a privilege not a right. It should be expensive and hard. All non breeding animals should be neutered.

They'd be no more need for rescues.

Only needy people get married

If you have a penis and wear a dress then you are a man

Screen time for toddlers is lazy parenting

Totally agree.

Agree with all of this too.

people who say “inclusion/woke has gone too far” are just defensive because they don’t like their bigotry being called out.

White clothes on babies is the worst of all the white items! It doesn't make them look clean to me, it makes them look sad and like nobody cares about them enough to actually choose some proper colours.

I just can't get my head round white being an actual choice rather than a default if a choice has not been made.

Someone gave me one white babygrow. I dyed it a lovely emerald green.

Private schools are better than state
Nobody over a size 12 should wear a crop top

Quite!

Hilarious

Would never need to

What utter nonsense 😝😝😝😝

I'm bisexual.

Has many lesbian relationships.

The rainbow thing has been pushed so far now and this whole idea of an 'alphabet community' that I don't even tell people I'm bisexual or that 3/4 of my adult sexual relationships have been lesbian because I find the whole movement embarrassing and troublesome.

It's literally pushed me back in the closet.

Have you seen the vultures queueing up to take advantage???

All of them friends of politicians

But I'm sure you'll find a way to brand someone that's had mostly gay relationships as a homophobic bigot 😑

Wow. This is bloody awful to read. This is somewhere in the UK?

That’s just something women who married for money tell themselves to make themselves feel better

Adele is overrated and her singing voice is unpleasant.

Honestly, most of it is already privatised and outsourced ! Look at closer examples, ie Germany & Austria - lived there for decades, healthcare was taken out my gross salary as a %. It works better than here under our „free“ system.

Hear, hear.

They took advantage years ago already sadly.

I agree re having to sell your home to fund care. My grandparents worked tirelessly to have something to leave which would ensure adequate care for their disabled daughter and it was all gone on 1k a week fees. That 1k got you a tiny bedroom, uninterested carers, crap food and v little care. There was no space in any other home at the point of need. We visited several times a day every day to combat the lack of care.

We are now at the point of my Dad needing care and I'm dreading it. There is a decent home which can cater to his needs (lewy body dementia) but I don't think we can afford it. The whole system is heartbreaking.
