Can we have an unpopular opinions thread?

[AlwaysFuckingTired94]

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

Is 4.5 near adulthood?

In MN world it's close.

Frozen mash is the best thing since sliced bread.

Drogo, you're getting 4.5 confused with 11. That's when MN kids, having not been allowed as far as to the end of their garden alone until then (because safeguarding, and anything could happen, and SS would take a dim view), suddenly transform into streetwise beings expected to take three buses alone across London to secondary school.

Though to be fair you did have the good grace not to edit out the word “probably”

🙄

Whereas you edited out the emoji that made it clear it was a comedic remark. (Just to avoid accusations of hypocrisy - that’s your eye roll up there, not mine)

People who think 1.5 years can even in hyperbole be classed as “nearly adulthood” are weird smile

I was talking about people who breastfeed their children past the age of 3 HTH

I’m sorry, I must have got you confused with another poster who said breastfeeding past 1.5 years was “weird”....

I like my tattoos

Parents who still give their child a bottle of milk before bed, are told they are being ridiculous and to put it in a cup, because they shouldn't be getting bottles after the age of 1, yet breastfeeding till a child is 4 and a half years old (and probably in school) is absolutely fine. Weird!

Are they? My toddler still gets a bottle and no one has told me anything of the sort.

Is it unpopular opinions, or simply an excuse to spew bile

These threads are always just an excuse to spew bile. They make for awful reading. Makes you realise just how many thoroughly awful people there are around.

I am confused by this thread.

These threads normally go down like a fat kid on a seesaw

I actually quite like Pom Bears, but I think Boden is overpriced and not in the least bit flattering.

I was referring to the poster who said Breast feeding was superior, and they breastfed one of their kids until the were 4.5.

Rather surprised at clearly having touched such an enormous nerve here with the duration of my bf!

I bf to 3.5. DD talked to the other kids about it at school. Everyone survived

Don't worry about it, people get snippy about things they didn't do themselves.

Whereas you edited out the emoji that made it clear it was a comedic remark. (Just to avoid accusations of hypocrisy - that’s your eye roll up there, not mine)

Fair enough. I’m not sure that is an obvious sign of comedy though. On here it’s more like passive-aggressive gurning.

But as you’ve said it in unambiguous words...have a on me. And if you don’t drink booze have a .

Yes. I look after children for a living and I regularly have parents desperate to get their children off the bottle as soon as they are a year old, because it's what the health visitor has told them they should do. Or family and friends have told them their children are far too old for a bottle

And do you agree with that drogo?

I quite like Donald Trump
, there its said

It's OK, not worried , just rather intrigued!

@Drogosnextwife I breastfed one for a year and had to bottle feed the other (prem).
Has made, by 12 and 11, not a fuck of difference to development, health or education.
The only difference was I had a banging figure whilst breast feeding and could eat a ridiculous amount of food, but after bottle feeding I'm now fat.
Not bothered, I love food 😂

On here it’s more like passive-aggressive gurning

God definitely not intended at all! But thanks for cuppa!

You haven't touched any nerve of mine. I couldn't give a shiny shite how long you breastfed, but come down off the high horse about how superior it is. Only reason I commented on your post .

Children are as much a part of our society as adults and it is perfectly okay for them to be audible and noticeable in public.
