I would say

Pineapple on pizza is decent

Overweight people are accountable for their health

Special needs aside, parenting is only as difficult and consuming as you want to make it. I’ve yet to meet an adult who wasn’t toilet trained and only ate chicken nuggets. Honestly - by the time they’re 32 nobody will know or care whether they were breastfed or formula fed, had a WOHM or SAHM, were weaned on organic finger food, had regular attendance at baby sing-song classes, or were allowed lots of screen time. How we all eventually turn out is mostly nothing to do with the minutiae of parenting. Just do your best, don’t be actively abusive or neglectful, and your kid will turn out just fine. Stop judging others for what you perceive as shortcomings, and be a bit easier on yourself for your own.

That no one should be assaulted while working, and that includes police officers.

Also, hummus is overrated.

I know loads of guys who are circumcised and none of them feels traumatised about it.

I don't particularly mind people setting off fireworks as long as its before about 10pm. And I do have a pet.

Surrey is a wonderful county

That low carb is not the answer.

That parents should automatically be willing to accommodate their 16+ kids having sex under their roof.

That any adult whose parent has a key to their house is in an unhealthy and co-dependent relationship with said parent.

*Say clarify, I DISAGREE with those views, not agree with them.

That women are fundamentally better off in most ways not being in marriages or relationships with men.

I breastfed way past 1

@NCAficionado

I own a loo brush for every single loo AND a period bin next to them.

Same!

I don't understand the Mumsnet horror of owning a toilet brush

That I have no tolerance for noisy neighbours, at new year or any other time of year.

I think it’s totally fine for a bride and groom to request cash rather than gifts. And also I have no problem at all with only being invited to the evening bit of the reception. That’s the best bit anyway.

Sleep training is better than an exhausted non functioning parent

I actually think I need to hear this sometimes. Thank you

Shower gel does get you clean

Private schools are better than state ones.

Cats are horrible.

Leopard print scarfs are out of date

It's not OK to use family for childcare. You might make yourself feel better by pretending that your family is all lovely and caring and sharing. It's not. Its just cheeky fuckery

That you should sleep train if you want to.

That not everyone is obsessed with, or even thinks about class. I've only ever come across this on MN.

Disclaimer: not the abuse/neglect bit ot the judging bit. But the rest of it.

Oh, and that all the “studies” saying sleep training damages your kid are utter bollocks.
