Some councils do incentivise using reusable nappies.

Smotheroffive · 25/04/2019 19:20

The first plastic nappy still exist s and I think each baby will fill a barn full of nappies in its infancy.

All baby wipes still exist also. Stop using them.

The trouble is use of these things is the only way now that people seem to be able to live!

TheFastandCurious · 25/04/2019 19:27

Bloody hell, imagine working full time but having your baby in reusable nappies! Nurseries would stop taking babies and all the extra electric washing those bloody nappies wouldn’t be too clever for the environment either.

I hope the Red Sox lose the world series this year, and lose it badly.

Smotheroffive · 25/04/2019 19:42

Nice attitude Parrot! Shocking, ignorant and quite gross given the fact our DC might die in the aftermath of shit consumerism.

But that's this goady thread and its 'controversial' ignorant nastiness all over

Smotheroffive · 25/04/2019 19:43

You have your facts wrong. Btw

Jinglejanglefish · 25/04/2019 19:43

Considering these threads are often full of people saying they hate GoT and Friends, I question whether they are actually unpopular opinions.

I love both those shows btw.

4x4s and other vehicles with poor fuel efficiency should only be permitted for use by those with a specific need for them eg farmers. I'm fed up of seeing Chelsea Tractors in the Sainsbury's car park looking sparkling clean

completely agree with this. Nobody needs a car bigger than a Ford Focus (especially if they don't have more than 2 children). They may want one, that's not the same. Air pollution is a massive problem. Avoiding plastic bags because of Blue Planet is all very nice but people need to look at their cars as well.

Organic food is an unnecessary and expensive affectation

Organic carrots really do taste better.

Smotheroffive · 25/04/2019 19:47

Many posts are clearly just nasty posters who enjoy goading and having fights, yes agreed.

That's what this type of thread is open to

Mammylamb · 25/04/2019 19:48

Parrot. I personally found mat leave a piece of cake and loved every minute of it. But I don’t think I would enjoy every minute of being a sahm with a toddler.

The reason I found mat leave so easy was I had a very happy baby who slept all night: but that wasn’t anything I did right or wrong. It was luck.

Unfortunately happy baby is a hard work toddler and I would struggle being at home with him all day.

Same person, but different views on being a sahm at different parts of my life

Smother, for someone who hates these threads, you’ve been contributing a lot of great comments!

But of course, you are entitled to your opinions and I’m delighted you are sharing them Wink

Whats not to hate Mammylamb ?

MissConductUS · 25/04/2019 19:52

I guess there are no Red Sox fans on this thread.

Smotheroffive · 25/04/2019 19:52

Caveat, those that are also pointing that out

SecretWitch · 25/04/2019 19:53

MissConductUs Don’t be a hater. Would love to see Bruins win the Stanley Cup. Also nice if Sweet Tom Brady could pull out his 7th Super Bowl before retiring! 😂

Mammylamb · 25/04/2019 19:54

Oh smother. Admit it! You’re loving this! Getting to tell us all off

I would like to be able to keep my children home when they are sick even if that means they attend under 96% I also think I should be able to take them on holiday in term time if I choose to. You only live once, and it seems that most of that childhood must be spend in school. Doing constant says practice 🥺

Hawkinsfirefly99 · 25/04/2019 19:56

Breast IS best...it's science!

Fed isn't best...fed is the bare minimum. I could eat McDonald's every meal time but it doesn't mean it's good for me.

Entitled baby boomers that sit in their detached million pound homes that they purchased for 100k 30 years ago are a bunch of cunts. When they are told how lucky they are they say, 'oh but we had 15% interest rates'. Fuck off. The house cost 4.5 times your salary...

Friends the sitcom is shit

The Simpsons is shit

Tattoos are shit..why do that to your body?

Quietlife333 · 25/04/2019 19:57

“Spent” in school doing constant “sats” practice. Maybe I need some extra lessons myself there.

Mammylamb · 25/04/2019 19:57

Quiet! I completely agree.

At crucial exam times they should be at school. But a random week off really shouldn’t make a difference

Also, I do not like summer. The heat and light give me migraines. I never chased my children out into the garden for enforced fun. They have grown into healthy, beautiful adults despite having a sun shy mother.

MissConductUS · 25/04/2019 20:17

@SecretWitch it was purely tongue in cheek. DS just texted me that he has tickets to an upcoming Red Sox Mariners game at Fenway. He's now part of Red Sox Nation.

SecretWitch · 25/04/2019 20:21

MissConductUs Me too! And my opinion is most unpopular as much of the US abhores Boston teams, especially the Patriots..
