To start another unpopular opinions thread...

... as the last one is full

a woman who doesn’t work can’t realistically talk to her daughters about working
They Lack the direct experience & ability to give grounded advice

People who do circuit training in the gym are narcissistic wankers.

I'm confused. This is just mixing up strength and high-intensity cardio things, I go to a class entirely devoted to circuit training several times a week.

Is it OK to do strength or cardio, but not both in alternating intervals?

I mean really loud shouty groups of people doing circuits in the actual gym, not in a class.

How hard is it to outline choices to your children?!

Yes they can sketch details,google etc, give a basic outline
But the actual lived experience of working no a housewife can’t discuss it realistically
In absence of recent work experience any advice is anecdote and recall

And the vast majority of SAHMs will have worked before having children too.

But the actual lived experience of working

I think you’re way over-reaching as to how tricky the concept is.

And advice will be “anecdotal” anyway if the mum is, say, a lawyer and the daughter wants to be a tree surgeon.

There are plenty of valid arguments against being a SAHM but I’ve always found that one a bit weak.

Worked before,past tense.historical experience.not contemporary lived experience

3+ kids as being socially unacceptable

Oh my word!

Think for yourself and let others enjoy the privilege to do the same.

Neither being a SAHP nor being a WOHP is rocket science. Nor does being either make a person morally superior.

How many women exist that couldn't possibly talk to their DC about work?

How relevant is any 'work' talk specifically given the fact that DC dont (and shouldn't) automatically follow their parents work route?

All a parent can do is support with choices and outline options. You don't have to be in the same career or even in work to be able to do that perfectly well.

Wow, I didn’t realise how disadvantaged I’d been by having a mother who didn’t work. I’ll give myself a big pat on the back for managing to get a job and be quite good at it, despite being handicapped by my dear mum’s lack of contemporary lived experience. Yay me!

Smother. I’m honestly fascinated by other folks unpopular opinions. This is an anonymous forum where people can share their thoughts that they won’t always be able to in real life. If the thread bothers you: why are you reading and commenting? Also, I didn’t start the other thread. But i did enjoy it

You're not your kids friends, you're their parents.

A slap on the hand or bum won't cause irreparable psychological harm to your child.

Babies can sleep in a different room to you before 6 months.

No is only a complete sentence when it comes to sexual consent. It's just plain rude for an invite response.

Definitely a non-argument of sahp v wohp!

Oh also, it's not a right to have children if you can't afford them.

Yay what?have you read the strap line.i know it’s an unpopular mn view
But I sincerely don’t anyone will be crushed reading my posts
Nor will I weep into my typhoo about opinions I read here
So yea yay!

Finally, I meant your not you're.

Oops - actually no I didn't. Correct you're used!

get me a gin

Romax. I find quite a lot fat hating on Mumsnet. I genuinely don’t think the commenters are concerned about the obese persons health. I think they do it to make themselves feel superior.

Now, close family, friends and medical staff suggesting weight loss is not a problem. The GP should advise weight loss.

People who describe themselves as having a "kink", and then get all vague over what it is. I'm middle aged, nothing is a kink, it's just sex.

Its enjoying opening a potential hornets nests though @mammylamb

I'm quite aware of my choices thank you

I apologise for attributing the other thread to you; I hadn't read it, but you continued it, and as it didn't start with your own, naturally it would follow that you already did that.

I like moaningwifeandmumof2 on instragram . I think she's hilarious . No harm done . If you don't like her you don't have to follow her or see her posts
