It doesn't normally bother me (much) when people refer to adoption as though it was an easy option compared to giving birth. In rl, if I can be bothered, I sometimes explain what a long and annoying process it is and the sorts of issues that can come with children who need to be adopted. Sometimes I just act as though I haven't heard the comment, but on the whole I just let it pass by.
However, on the YouTube Mumsnet birth tips video someone says her top tip for giving birth is to adopt. I started a thread about it in chat where the general opinion was that I was taking it too seriously, so I put it out of my mind. Now the top tip quote is at the top of the Mumsnet Latest box (I don't know if everyone has this box, it's on the RHS of my Active Conversations). I catch sight of it regularly and it's pissing me off out of all proportion to what the poor MNetter who said it probably intended.
I should just try harder to ignore it shouldn't I?
