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

Breastfeeding doesn’t mean a better bond with your baby.

  • than bottle feeding

Political correctedness can be a very good thing.

JacquesHammer · 23/04/2019 17:23

and probably work in education

Sorry. Not even close Smile

Of course it does.

Controlled crying isn’t abusive

Of course it is. '

Sometimes people should be able to understand that other people not thinking exactly the same way they do, or saying things exactly the way they would, or doing things exactly the way they think they ought isn't necessarily 'bad', or 'wrong', it's just 'different'. And should perhaps be respected as a perfectly valid choice to make.

I did BLW because I was lazy and had no time for all that blending.

I think Meghan Markle is a narcissistic self-absorbed gold digger

This is exactly what I meant when I said the term narcissist is overused on these boards. Some of you need to read up on it and stop throwing the term around.

Also breastfed because couldn't be bothered with the faff of sterilising
Used slings because it was easier than getting a buggy around the underground

*Breastfeeding doesn’t mean a better bond with your baby

Of course it does*

When the mother is almost suicidal because of the effect it’s having on her mental health.
My dfriend and her ds bond only started when she started using a bottle.

We've come on here to share our opinions which may be unpopular, so why do other posters feel the need to post straight after some of the entries to instantly contradict, just because they don't agree?

Ewitsahooman · 23/04/2019 17:44

Because some of the "opinions" aren't so much unpopular as they are twattish and ignorant.

badlydrawnperson · 23/04/2019 17:53

Because some of the "opinions" aren't so much unpopular as they are twattish and ignorant.

In your not at all humble opinion.

People should stop having more than 2 children, the planet can't sustain them

Humans have no more right to be here than any other species

Climate change is real and it is worse than we think

It doesn't matter how ethical your meat is, it is still a body part of a being that wanted and deserved to live

We make parenting way more complicated than it needs to be

WheelyCote · 23/04/2019 17:54

My opinion is that alot of people are so precious

Backwoodsgirl · 23/04/2019 17:57

Taxation is theft.

A license is the government stealing your rights and selling them back to you

“Breastfeeding doesn’t mean a better bond with your baby

Of course it does.”

I only got to breast feed one of my babies. I promise you I don’t love him more than any of the others.

AntiSocialLOL · 23/04/2019 17:58

School isn’t that important and not a predicator of success. Some of the most successful people I know were mediocre or rubbish at school while a lot of the swots are stuck in rubbish jobs

LazyTabloidJournalistCunts · 23/04/2019 17:59

Staying in work and keeping your financial independence is better ‘protection’ for women than being married.

No it really doesn't

Drogosnextwife · 23/04/2019 18:01

I love frozen mash

TerryWogansWilly · 23/04/2019 18:03

Of course it does
Having bf and ff I can say that is most definitely bollocks. People say it because it gives them one tiny pathetic thing to feel superior about.

Additionally it doesn't even make sense.

You're comparing a ff baby against the "perfect" breast fed baby experience. When you should compare to their specific alternative. If a woman is suffering bleeding tits and mastitis and pnd with suicidal thoughts she will not have a better bond with her breast fed bavy than with a formula fed baby. Will she?

Drogosnextwife · 23/04/2019 18:04

Being married doesn't give all women "better protection", it certainly won't protect me that's why I don't give a shit about getting married. No one else should give a shit if people are married or not either, anyone who does is a nosey fucker.

TerryWogansWilly · 23/04/2019 18:04

Frizen mash is good.

Also frozen sandwiches.

Paddy1234 · 23/04/2019 18:05

I love frozen mash as well
