That not being able to have a second child is not the same as not being able to have any children.

That "having a family" doesn't necessarily equate to having kids.

Being obese or anorexic is not something that should be promoted on the front of a magazine.

That every child HAS to have their own room or your a terrible parent and shouldn't have had the kids in the first place. Even step children that only visit every 2nd weekend should have their own room.

God forbid children share bedrooms Hmm

Some men are quite nice really.

PanamaPattie · 07/08/2021 10:24

How often do you wash your bedding?

It's rude to ask visitors to remove their shoes.

Someone uses the term “hubby” and then 76% of the posts are “yabvu to use hubby”

One started with the OP mentioning a helium balloon - the first post was frothing at the mouth about how you should never buy a helium balloon as there's a world-shortage of helium and we'll all die.
