Unpopular opinion

I'll go first.

You shouldn't have a dog or a baby (or anything else noisy) unless you live in a fully detached property.

@CCmumsnet lol! Thanks for the laugh! As I explained upthread, there IS no help for the human condition! Anyway, hope it helps someone else and I appreciate your heart is in the right place. Or at least you are PR-conscious!

Thank you. You could have said that the first time, there's really never any need for rudeness.

BTW, I am VERY pro-neutering cats, to whoever mentioned that.

I think breeding kittens (intentionally or recklessly) is highly irresponsible. And selfish, given how many are in rescues.

I merely give homes to the cats who are already here.

"Adopt, don't shop" is literally the one thing upon which Meghan Markle and I agree.

It's a question that's been asked literally thousands of times before on MN so do forgive my yawning. There are a million things to discuss in life (and on MN) except your darling precious offspring. Indeed, there's a specific board for religion and philosophy where intelligent discussion about things which are actually important take place.

Not really up to you what people discuss though. 🙄

I am sure you have made Meghan's day.

Reading this thread as I sit in my semi detached house with 2 kids and 2 dogs 😂😂

EEEK you must be a dreadful neighbour! 😆

1/ Legal in the UK (not in some other countries).
2/ is illegal !

As long as you are happy not being saved by a similar person prioritising their stick insect.

I wonder if 'Amborella Distona' has any cats - or children? And I wonder if they live in a semi-detached house, or an apartment (with cats!)

.

Stick Insect! 😂

Stick insects are the only acceptable pet for those in anything other than a detached house.

😆

Too late really once someone is pregnant. So either you ban sex before owning a detached house or you force abortions on those who do end up pregnant before owning a detached house.

I’d definitely save my stick insect over OP and her cat.

😂 You're terrible Muriel!😆

Don't forget you suggested adoption in an earlier post. That would work. Let the poor child go to a more successful family with a proper house. Maybe its new parents (ideally married too) will also be intelligent enough to work out how to successfully prevent a pregnancy (btw - it's always use TWO forms of contraception). There are no excuses for accidents these days if you are a reasonably intelligent and responsible person.

So you aren’t successful with a proper house?

😂😂😂

OP, you’re going to get ‘em going with this.

Priceless! 😂

All the OP is doing, is making everyone piss themselves laughing, they are not 'getting anyone going!' 😂

I'm a single person in a 3 bed main door flat with garden. I don't really "need" a bigger house. I'm also on track to retire at 50 so doing fine thanks.

Would be better if you could live in a detached property so you didn’t have to listen to other people’s noise though, eh?

You can tell most of you are English btw, absolutely no sense of humour!

Sadly as we have learned from this thread, a detached house wouldn't entirely solve the problem as people put their feral kids and dogs into the garden to make noise.

You could do everyone a favour and go and live in the middle of nowhere. Problem solved!
