Right, I spend too much time on here and it's always the same old stuff, so this is my definitive list. If you'll all just agree to agree with me, then we can just shut down AIBU.

BF/FF BF is a little better for your kid, but some can't manage it. Do what you like. And I won't judge you for it.
Parking Disabled more important than Parent and Toddler. It won't kill you to walk the length of the car park if you are able-bodied
Greggs/Fruitshoots/McDonalds Won't kill your kid if in moderation.
4 wheel drives Whatever
Children at weddings Close family and breast feeding babies should be there. Others should be according to B&G wishes.

Bridezillas Yes to all of them.

Christmas family arrangements Just alternate between different family members one year and the next.

The Mardy one has spoken. I can go and do some work now.
Gavel.

only disagrees with coraltoes, therefore Mardy's 100% agreement record stands

coraltoes · 14/10/2011 12:55

Caramel. That is a cliche card. One more and you're the bench chopping oranges.

caramelwaffle · 14/10/2011 12:58

Hmm Oranges you say?

Think of my nail varnish for the love of god

coraltoes · 14/10/2011 13:01

I clearly have no idea what sports people do on said benches. Orange chopping sounded wholesome.

If you hate your MIL just tell her to fuck off and let your DH visit her with the kids.

Not quite seasonal but soon will be:

School concerts and small children in audience making a noise

Oh and have we had eating goods in a supermarket before paying yet?

Have we covered dogs yet???

The shit from pets is the responsibility of the pet owners, although there will inevitably be times when, unfortunately, you have to deal with it anyway because some pet owners are lazy selfish cunts.

People who decide to have dogs must, grudgingly, be allowed to take them out and about, but no-one who doesn't like dogs or is afraid of them should have to have them slobbering jumping and barking all over them.

It is not the job of dog owners to take it upon themselves to 'educate' people who don't like dogs by forcing them to deal with their dogs.

Cleaners! Esp for SAHM. Helping themselves to teabags?

Can anyone think of anything OP might feel strongly about? :)

BalloonSlayer · 14/10/2011 14:14

Your child's teacher went into her profession because she loves teaching and children. She has seen all types of children in her 20 years of work. She almost certainly doesn't hate your child. She almost certainly does want him/her to be successful and happy. If she says your child is disruptive, don't proclaim that she is useless and can't do her job to the entire playground, facebook and mumsnet. Your child is almost certainly a pain in the arse and the school needs your help.

ElaineReese · 14/10/2011 14:16

If a shop's pissed you off, it's not the fault of the person who served you.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 14/10/2011 14:19

If you are forever being tutted at in the street by complete strangers, it's because your (NT! NT! NT! before anyone says anything) DCs are actually really badly behaved.

Or you're paranoid.

Abcinthia · 14/10/2011 14:22

Has anyone mentioned child reins yet?

GrimmaTheNome · 14/10/2011 14:24

School admission:
faith schools are unfair
leafy catchments are unfair
private schools are unfair
selective schools are unfair

We know, now do the best you can to balance the needs of your kid with the needs of society at large.

Hassled · 14/10/2011 14:25

But but bit - you are WRONG about the alternate Christmas thing. I am the reasonable one here, promise. I refuse to leave home and if family want to see us they have to travel to a city with notoriously poor transport links that isn't on the way to anywhere else. It works a treat and is the Only Way.

Moominsarescary · 14/10/2011 14:25

How about my neighbour wants me to clean my cat shit off her garden but I don't think my cat is the offender?

Fifis25StottieCakes · 14/10/2011 14:26

Do you know Greggs are making frozen sausage rolls to bake at home

I love a greggs sausage roll me

aldiwhore · 14/10/2011 14:27

So I really shouldn't have opened the tub of pringles mid shop? Tut!

(Oranges and nail varnish = bad combination, invest in some gloves... or is that U???)

Can I keep my mane... for many reasons... they're breath punctuation... gasp

kickassangel · 14/10/2011 14:30

if we're going to be able to vote - apart from yes/no/meh, can we have a 'grow the fuck up' or 'come back when you've solved world peace' type response?

suburbandream · 14/10/2011 14:31

Don't forget public transport/folding buggies/children taking up an adults seat

Abcinthia · 14/10/2011 14:35

Vegetarians not serving meat to meat eaters.
