Mine is everywhere I see everyone has a Pandora charm bracelet on.
Whilst I own the bow necklace and earrings.. I can't see the appeal in the charms :/ yet apparently they're the best thing according to my best friend.

i can't stand subway food. i am a butty aficianado, and that shit is just shit

@StealthPolarBear
I don’t think most people genuinely do dislike their mother in law. I think most people just SAY they dislike their mother in law because that’s the socially excepted thing to do.

Pale skin does not look good! Especially in summertime clothes.

Obviously I know that a tan is unhealthy to say the least but however much I try to make myself love my ghostly white, occasionally blotchy skin, I don't. I don't like fake tan either because it usually looks fake and who can be bothered to exfoliate thoroughly and cover themselves in chemicals?

i think you should have to pay for a dog licence

Dp used to work for subway. He was appalled by the conditions and couldn't understand this one's 5* rating.
Everything is frozen.
An the sauces are incredibly watered down.

beards are vile

Bearfrills · 24/03/2018 23:20

Same here Custardo, she is not a nice person.

TakeMeToTheFresh · 24/03/2018 23:22

controlled crying is fabulous and it works.

There's a reason it works and it's not a nice one

StealthPolarBear · 24/03/2018 23:23

That's really bad then earl. Genuine dislike for a reason is one thing. Disliking someone to fit in with the crowd is shit :(*I suspect you might be right though. Mil annoys me sometimes as I'm sure I do her. But she's family, I love her and I genuinely like her. Good thing too as I've known her over half my life!

Not all tories are evil bastards.

I'm not a tory voter, but my parents are longtime party members, my dad chair of a local party group. They both hate inequality, believe in immigration, support drug legalisation and are frankly not impressed by current party direction. When I was a kid, people would often assume they must be really 'strict' parents, when they are about the most liberal parents I know. When I told people they were on the social services and education committees when I was younger, people would tell me 'Oh, so they're Labour then', as though being a Tory meant being on the puppy killing and baby slaying committees.

I think they are perhaps a bit unusual, but I think having a fixed attitude that 'Tories are all evil bigots who deserve to die' (as I often hear expressed) is unhelpful and leads to polarised politics where the worst factions aren't encouraged to get any better,

There is absolutely nothing 'abusive' about sleep training, pandering to your baby and not allowing them to learn to self settle only makes you a sleep deprived mart

Ha, my DS has slept 8 hours from Day 1 and now goes over 12 hours at 5ish months.

No sleep deprivation here and I never let him cry Grin unless I'm enjoying singing along to music in the showeror I have foundation on my hands

Custardo · 24/03/2018 23:27

cant understand anyone ( and by that i mean - everone i know) paying for sky / virgin etc. waste of money

RavenWings · 24/03/2018 23:30

Newborns are not cute.
I have no problem with abortion for any reason.
Concerts suck.
The Harry Potter books are terrible.
Pugs are horrifically ugly (and so are many show breeds in general, especially when you look at the health issues).

There should be big Perspex boxes the size of bus stops for smokers to smoke in.

No public smoking on streets.

I like McDonald's and think it's lovely tasting

Fed isn't best for baby, breast has always been and always will be best for baby's nutritional needs

I judge you (if you have kids), based on how you dress them and how well groomed they are

Pulled pork is vile stuff

French is an ugly language

Dressing gowns/house coats are uncomfortable

Dressing children as opposite genders 'just because it's just clothes' is ridiculous and everyone in real life will judge you immensely for dressing David in Daisy's florally pink sleepsuit

cloudchasing · 24/03/2018 23:39

I think that the SAHP (whether a man or a woman) should do the lion's share of the housework and get up in the night with the kids.

Custardo · 24/03/2018 23:40

yes babies are ugly and harry potter is totally shit

MsRagnell · 24/03/2018 23:41

Team sports are for under 21 s.

calzone · 24/03/2018 23:42

I agree cloudchasing.

SpringHen · 24/03/2018 23:44

I also agree Cloudchasing. If youve been up at night and look and feel like shit cause of no sleep it doesnt matter to your baby. Might matter to your boss & clients though! AND you cant nap at work eithet

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 24/03/2018 23:50

I like the Royal family and think they are very good for our country. I'm excited about the royal wedding

Tom Hardy is nothing special, in fact he looks like a cannabis dealer from a dodgy part of town.

Not all NHS workers are unsung heroes. Some HCPs are fucking awful, with no people skills, and shouldn't be allowed to medically examine a shrub let alone a human being. I work for the NHS btw.

cloudchasing · 24/03/2018 23:53

I was that WOHP a good few years ago. I worked 50 hours a week, and my stbxh played the Xbox and watched films all day while he was looking after our baby son. Id get in and he would expect me to cook dinner and tidy up! Never again.
