To ask the most bizzare 'facts' you have read on mums net

[Ashamedandblamed]

Everyone obviously thinks what they are telling you is true but sometimes their sources or opinions are not factually correct.

What is the most ridiculous or bizzare fact/opinion you have seen ?

That not wanting your child to be autistic means that you believe people with autism don’t deserve a life

That it’s perfectly possible to throw a wedding with 100 guests on a budget of 67p.

That you shouldn't ask for professionals for support or help for your child because the professionals will 'label' your child.

That if a child doesn't understand something it is because the parents haven't tried hard enough.

That there's anything you can do to prevent your child from being autistic if you don't want them to be...

*That being a SAHM when all your children are of School age is lazy and ridiculous, no matter what the circumstances

*That you should leave your DH for things that only on munsnet are considered a huge deal

*That if you are not 100% Happy in a marriage you should leave and it will all be fine.

*That giving your child the odd McDonalds meal is bound to make them obese. Conversely, not allowing your children fizzy drinks makes you a control freak over your children’s eating/drinking

That in the UK you can have a family member "sectioned".

I've read this on here a few times and just don't engage any more. Having a loved one with a mental health crisis is awful and people really do need support, but the posters who reply with "you need to have him sectioned/phone your GP to have him sectioned" etc. are wildly incorrect and actively unhelpful to the OP with the problem, probably making them feel even more responsible/helpless: although in English law family can request a MHA assessment, detention is a decision based on assessment by an appropriately qualified professional/professionals (depending on which UK country you are in) and it's been decades since family members could sign their loved ones into hospital.
I once tried to gently correct this on a thread and was quite aggressively pounced on, despite actually working in mental health.

That all people in social housing or on benefits are worthless. That's the general vibe I get when reading threads on this topic and the responses from apparently superior people.
