What’s the most controversial opinion you hold?

[NC28]

Do you want to share any opinions you have that are (or may be) seen as controversial?

Mine are probably around the severity of criminal punishment the courts should be giving out for certain crimes and what kids should do in the event of physical violence from peers. Both subjects can be quite provoking for others.

What are yours?

I also agree with this one!

No judgement or hate just genuinely curious.. did his friends/school peers know and did he suffer because of this? I'm curious if he will remember feeding to such a late age and how that could impact him.

@dynamiccactus my four month old has a tooth!

I just think that once they are eating solids, breastfeeding is sort of redundant. Though I appreciate some babies may take a bit longer.
I think after 1 year is definitely the absolute cut off.

Mares generally start kicking their foals off them once they get fed up of them and they are able to eat.
Though I’m not suggesting we start kicking babies 🤣

On the breastfeeding and WHO guidelines I don't know if I support WHO guidelines. I suspect they are more than a bit sexist and aimed at making sure women are the primary care-givers to benefit men.

This but definitely not just women, men too. Anyone who has kids with more than one partner. Personally I believe it to always be on the spectrum of shit for the first partners child/children.
Possibly more so men actually as they tend not to be the primary caregivers and so just skip off to make a new shiny family elsewhere and leave the og kids for dust.

The WHO's recommandation of 2 years is for children in developing countries.

Animals do not belong to people. Removing them from their families causes them harm, which is why they spend time crying for them, only stopping when they give up hope and instead attach themselves to the human who has made them suffer in this way because 'I want a pet'

Ethnic differences are real

My ds was about 4 months old when I stopped. though he didn't have any teeth until later. But I was useless at making enough milk from the word go so finally gave up at that point.

All kids should attend a local school that they can walk to

Humans can’t change sex - literal violence since 2014.

Too many humans are happy to stick with the societal status quo even though it’s hurting loads of people. It’s all a bit “I’m alright Jack” at the moment and it’s shit.

my opinion and i won’t change it, you don’t have to have kids with every man

Dickhead adults who ride their bikes on pavements should have their bikes taken away or at least fined. Boo fucking hoo you numptie that you feel too nervous to rude on the road.

Interesting…why?

Yes animals are removed from their mother far too soon. It must be cruel for the mothers too when their babies are suddenly taken away.

I agree with you.

That's just a fact. The world's gone nuts when that's seen as controversial.

I have a much bigger problem with cars on pavements.

How to people stay on benefits now though? I thought that with job coaches, interviews and sanctions it’s not possible to sit on the dole these days.

That Fox's Golden Crunch Creams are a complete food source.

That’s fair enough, I meant along the lines of chosen movement for a job/lifestyle choice etc. You’re right with your example there.

The swathes of economic illegal migrants needs to be stopped. Starmer should admit cancelling the Rwanda flights was a giant mistake.

Also we should stop paying the french to stop the boats when they clearly aren't going to because they don't want them either.

Agree re prisons above. I don't think it's particularly controversial, it's common sense.

Oh, and for weeks a year, no travel, no cars, factories, everything stops. The earth can breathe.

And turn the fucking Internet off.

A while ago, on a similar thread, I posted my controversial opinion, and my post was promptly deleted by admin. So, I guess I'll stay quiet. It's the "mum" part of Mumsnet.😶

Personally I judge women more however I don’t vocalise this and this is just me admitting it for the purpose of this thread irl I keep it to myself.
