Some drugs are good fun

Woahisme · 03/01/2021 01:00

Agree, drugs should be legalised. The whole sodding lot of them.

I dislike cats.

Howmanysleepsnow · 03/01/2021 01:05

I like fireworks and Thornton’s. I hate the smell of zoflora. I voted Tory.

High ranking universities generally need high grades to get in, so though they may not be objectively 'better', employers know that their graduates are more likely to be more intelligent than those of low ranking universities, and degrees from all institutions are not equal.

Most Mumsnetters are middle class liberal lefties.

Lots of men do not want to share parenting 50/50 and it’s unrealistic that they will do so once the novelty of the new baby wears off. Historically men haven’t done it and those that do are in the minority. Look at their fathers and grandfather’s involvement with their children and get an idea of what your husband will be like.

McDonalds is a nice treat.

Young children shouldn’t have to vacate their seats for anybody. Nearby able-bodied adults should get up instead.

I don’t like dogs.

I think it’s fine for stepmums to refuse to do things like pick up their stepchildren from school or take their stepchildren to hobbies. It’s also fine to refuse to look after them during school holidays and it’s also fine to refuse to provide for them financially from their own pocket.
Also they owe the mum nothing.

People on low incomes are allowed a smartphone!!

Feeling anxious doesn’t give you a free pass to be rude to people.

Boys aren’t predators. Why are you so threatened by a young boy being in the changing rooms? Says more about you than anyone else!

Game of Thrones is shite

Barton10 · 03/01/2021 01:17

Mothers Breastfeeding toddlers gives me the ick and should not be done in public . It is done for mum not the child’s benefit.

CloseSchoolsProtecttheNHS · 03/01/2021 01:22

Mums usually love their kids more than dads do.

Willbob · 03/01/2021 01:22

Sunflower lanyards are attention seeking.

There is severe autism and mild autism, they are different and should be diagnosed differently.

Autism is a disability not a super power.

Some disabilities are easier to cope with than others. Not all disabilities/ sen are equal in their impact.

Cyclists shouldn't be allowed on the road especially in packs.

My son is allowed to wear and like swishy sequin shirts.... in public too.

Some sahm are better educated and more capable than people in work.

Some women do have children as they aren't very well educated and have few life choices.

Prams/ buggys should be folded on buses and wheelchairs should get priority over them.

Dogs should be on leads in public including parks. Cats are evil.

You can be an occasional user of cannabis or cocaine and still be a good parent.

Most posters who claim that their ‘surprise pregnancy’ three months into a relationship was as a result of a ‘contraception failure ’ are not being completely truthful.

Men , like women, cannot be divided into binary groups of good or bad. There are many shades of grey and not every negative act by a man is intentionally abusive or an attempt to manipulate.

@CloseSchoolsProtecttheNHS

Captain Tom didn't raise the money, the public did. What he did was cute but it was the press and social media picking up the story and the outpouring of support that created the amazing monetary outcome. He's not 'an amazing fundraiser' he just did a nice thing and got extremely lucky.
This. And the knighthood was overkill.
Cattenberg · 03/01/2021 01:36

Almost everyone is a mixture of good and bad. Most people act like twats at times. Most lovely people have a dark side when you really get to know them. We can’t just divide everyone into “good people” and “bad people” and go NC with all the “bad people”.

I believe that for children under the age of two or three, an empathetic childminder is better than a nursery. It’s good for young children to have a consistent caregiver.

Anthropogenic climate change is real, and most people are in complete denial.

The NHS is criminally short-staffed and works many of its employees into the ground. If most doctors and nurses decided to finish their shifts on time, the whole system would collapse.

Weddings are usually dull with shite food, fussy arrangements with Inane speeches
The Bride looks like a boiled sweetie in white cellophane,and no I don’t want to see your first dance
Guests are thinking can’t believe I’m using annual leave for this

Poorlykitten · 03/01/2021 01:40

Dogs should only be owned by people who know what they are doing which is about 2%of current dog owners.
I like fireworks (I have a dog)
Private schools should be abolished

cigsoffofthefloor · 03/01/2021 01:41

Private schools should be abolished

hi why do you think this? just curious because i don't really know

HmmSureJan · 03/01/2021 01:48

I don't believe in critical race theory.

I love dogs better than most people.

If a child seems to be far too old to be having tantrums and behaving as badly as they are and it's a regular occurrence there's very likely some kind of additional needs involved and they're not just naughty and spoilt.

Gin is disgusting.

sneakysnoopysniper · 03/01/2021 01:54

Women will never be free or equal while one half of humanity bears in pain and degradation the children of all humanity.

Regretsy · 03/01/2021 01:57

The phrase ‘get your ducks in a row’ makes me cringe.
goes to figure out how to name change

Mally2020 · 03/01/2021 02:00

I think katie hopkins is funny

Mally2020 · 03/01/2021 02:02

that I hate the abbreviations most of you use on here, they are often outdated and cringey

Poorlykitten · 03/01/2021 02:03

Oh and I think all schools should close, as of now.
Schools are not in existence to provide free childcare.
