Dying on those hills with you. Though I don't think botox initially makes people look older, after time/migration it does, though. Think it makes many people look much worse, however, but each to their own.

My other hills I will be gladly dying on;

  • Changing gender is impossible and thinking you can do so is lunacy
  • Nobody actually likes matcha, it's just one big inside joke to make everyone else think they're losing their minds
  • Alcohol should not be served at kids parties under any circumstances (after a recent incident)

Mine is that anyone who thinks the moon landings were faked is someone who lacks critical thinking skills

Dogs should be kept on leads in open public spaces whenever possible.

social media should never have been invented

helpfulperson · 13/10/2026 14:26

Those who think sex is underated aren't doing it with the right person.

All cyclists should have lights and the police need to start cracking down when they break the rules of the road. Lights, speed, crossings, cycling on pavements.

Anti semitism - it's discriminatory.

Woke - all woke.

There is no such thing as a good billionaire

Scotland and Wales as holiday destinations are vastly underrated by English people. I'm in England.

WhatDoRacoonsSay · 13/10/2026 14:29

Two sexes, zero genders, infinite personalities.

IronEverything · 13/10/2026 14:29

Gentle parenting is shit.

Chewing gum is for the lowest of the low.

The moon landing was real! Ya daftie.

Starving yourself won’t make your face anymore attractive.
The younger generations aren’t as selfish or entitled as the older generations.

Autism should be categorised differently.

The the difference between those who have kids, hold down a good job, run a house, have a partner and no one would know they had asd compared to those that won’t be independent is so vast that it seems utterly meaningless to use the same name. It’s not always due to LD either. Like saying apples pears are the same and they’re clearly absolutely not.

Dogs should not be allowed anywhere serving food

Notgrowing · 13/10/2026 14:34

Having babies past 40 is just mental to do.
Moon landings were faked.
Dogs should not be allowed in cafés.
Parents need to parent without a screen.
Women are not always right.
Skinny jabs will cause problems in the end.
Lake District and the white cliffs of Dover are over rated.
Men that shave their armpits are wankers.
Some old people are bloody annoying.
And many many more.

You believe the moon landing was fake?
Sorry I can't read any more because you sound like a conspiracy theorist

the80sweregreat · 13/10/2026 14:36

Agree that the white cliffs are nothing special and I was disappointed with ‘ the needles ‘ too ( Isle of Wight)

Notgrowing · 13/10/2026 14:36

SEN not all of you have it, its not an excuse so you can be a dick.

the80sweregreat · 13/10/2026 14:39

I’m old and I annoy myself ! So agree with this , but we can learn a lot of wisdom from them too.
The ageism on mumsnet is rife though , we are not to blame for terrible governments, high taxes not being distributed properly or high house prices! Although I do understand why people are fed up with all the above!

pulpJarvis · 13/10/2026 14:41

Why are people so convinced the moon landings were fake? I mean really?

You daft loon.

ExtraHotDoubleShot · 13/10/2026 14:42

Ok, you asked.

  1. There are more and more people with non verbal autism every year and I think eventually they’ll find the environmental cause
  2. Allowing your child to become overweight is neglect
  3. There are far too many people in the UK, we are one of the most nature depleted countries in the world and anyone who thinks we can ‘cram more people in’ while pretending they care about the environment is actually insane

And a slightly less controversial one: those big Stanley cup things are gross and I hate seeing peoples (usually fillered) lips slurping away on them.

Dogs should be kept on leads in open public spaces whenever possible.

And not allowed inside public eating areas ( cafes , restaurants etc )
