For things that are agreed as gospel on MN

I'll start: I like dressing my kids in matching outfits and I really enjoy a Butlins holiday

I also don't think Nevaeh is that bad

I don't see the problem with "Evening Invitations" to weddings.

HBStowe · 22/04/2019 19:06

It’s ok to want a nice, big wedding. You aren’t a shallow, attention seeking brat because you want more than ten minutes in a registry office with two strangers off the street as witnesses.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 22/04/2019 19:07

Oh and, slightly off topic, how do you pronounce Nevaeh? I keep seeing it written down but have never met one. Is it like Nevvay?

user1474894224 · 22/04/2019 19:07

Just saying, 'No' Without giving a reason is not enough. (It is not a complete sentence.).

stopitandtidyupp · 22/04/2019 19:07

I sometimes eat my dinner in bed.

I also wash my hair everyday.

AlwaysFuckingTired94 · 22/04/2019 19:07

I think referring to your vulva as your vagina is fine

I don't think politicians are overpaid.

stopitandtidyupp · 22/04/2019 19:09

I think referring to your vulva as your vagina is fine

Most definitely!

It’s perfectly ok to ask for honeymoon donations / whatever you want AND send this in your wedding invites. Never been to a wedding when this hasn’t happened, but on Mumsnet it is a major faux pas!

MrsSteve · 22/04/2019 19:09

I think the gender debate on here always gets ridiculous.

MrsBobDylan · 22/04/2019 19:09

The view that unless you get a rescue dog, you shouldn't own a dog at all is sanctimonious bollocks.

Bookridden · 22/04/2019 19:09

It's fine to use child and parent spaces if you have a child with you. Obviously avoid spaces for disabled people, but it's not wrong or strange to want a large space close to the store.

FlyingElbows · 22/04/2019 19:09

Ne vay ah.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/04/2019 19:10

I like giving money as a wedding present when requested.

I like Victoria Beckham.

I think my 18 year old is a teenager, not a fully grown adult who should have moved out, Live his life, without any help, opinion or input from me.

MrsSteve · 22/04/2019 19:11

Step Mothers are allowed to make decisions about discipline in their own home and aren’t all evil bitches.

ifigoup · 22/04/2019 19:11

Trans women are women.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/04/2019 19:11

Oh yes user. No is not a complete sentence. Only on mn. Other than that, it’s exceptionally rude.

confusedandemployed · 22/04/2019 19:11

Sleeping / self settling are essential and hugely undervalued life skills.

I would never do online shopping because I think going to the supermarket is enjoyable.

Cherrysoup · 22/04/2019 19:12

I think it’s ridiculous to tell posters they’re grabby because they’re upset at the lack of presents from their DP/dh on their birthday or at Christmas. I’d be well pissed off to receive nothing.

NameChangeNugget · 22/04/2019 19:12

If you don’t fly off the handle, create a major international incident and lose your shit at DH for glancing at a woman, you are not a “cool wife”, you are normal

vampirethriller · 22/04/2019 19:12

I like Benidorm.
Game of Thrones and Friends are overrated. Friends just isn't funny.
I like animal print Grin

nauseous5000 · 22/04/2019 19:12

I pronounce it Nev-ay-ah, but dint know one so pls correct me.

My unpopular opinion (personal reasons obvs) is that just cos a dad continues to see his kids, he's still not a good dad if he direct pay for said kid.

Also that CSA/CMS are not good and can't help most people

HBStowe · 22/04/2019 19:13

@ifigoup hear hear 👏🏻

VictoriaBun · 22/04/2019 19:13

It's fine that your friend wants to ' borrow your husband ' for a few jobs around her house and you later find a text from her telling him she really had fun whilst he was around there.

MrsSteve · 22/04/2019 19:13

This is not my step kids home - their home is where they live.
