What are your unpopular opinions that most mumsnetters don’t agree with?

[Rosebush1245]

Curious to know what opinions you see constantly on mumsnet that you think “Am I the only person that disagrees with that!?”

Far too much virtue signally by SOME parents of disabled children.

Having a disabled child or other disabled dependent doesn't exempt someone from being an arsehole.

People looking after disabled children are not doing the State a favour. If you bring a child into the world you should intend to look after that child regardless of need.

Mumsnet is a parallel universe!

Beggars can't be choosers.

It’s ok to order something online without being 100% confident you will be home for every one of the next 72 hours.

@NorthXNorthWest you should meet some of parents of special needs kids we have at work. They are vile! (Not all of them, obviously. I’ve met many who are absolutely amazing)

Nothing I said was unpleasant or goady - I met a perfectly reasonable and polite reply to mine with a similarly reasonable and polite response!

It’s cooncil juice here 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dogs are brilliant. 🐶❤️

Yes!! I was waiting for this response!! Cooncil jooce! 💦😂

That POC are not to blame for what every Tom, dick & Harry of the same colour does.

Yes, women are entitled to wear whatever they like, but showing a lot of fat, or wrinkly, or flabby flesh is definitely a good look, especially when you’re getting on a bit.

You can really only know your own experience. Just because my kids grew up all right and to be high achievers with my rather haphazard method of parenting doesn't mean my way of parenting was the right one. Just that it worked for MY kids.

Similarly, I love my dog. Not everyone else does. So it's my job to keep her away from other people who might not understand her need to randomly bark at molecules.

Not everyone suits a career. Sometimes 'just jobs' are enough.

Oh yes nothing goady or unpleasant about the below at all. 🙄 🤥. Glad you at least acknowledge that pp was polite to you.

I understand and respect your reluctance to debate or discuss. It must be extremely frustrating and difficult to suddenly find yourself on the opposite side of what is lawful. Honestly, I’m not sure how I would cope with such a dichotomy between my personal beliefs and such an unequivocal ruling.

A foetus. Or depending on how early the pregnancy, not even that. Am embryo.

Which could grow and potentially become a baby. Having a baby isn’t always the responsible decision and a baby shouldn’t be a punishment for having sex.

It seems that anything over 2 years is now considered wrong but my OH is 9 years older than me and we've been married over 50 years! When I was in the Sixth form in the mid 1960's very few had boyfriends of our age, they were thought to be wet, the girls were far more mature than the boys generally.

That religious belief should no way be a protected characteristic.

That’s posher, juice rather than pop. Nice.

Really? I went to state school in Spain, so no uniform. I guess when non uniform day is every single Monday to Friday in term time, they´d get a bit bored with the judgement and bitching after some time. Novelty and all that.

Absolutely! DH and I really differ on this, as he's a binger and always wants to roll straight on to the next episode/series. I tend to prefer a bit of delayed gratification, and am often quite old-school about watching things on the actual day they go out even if they're available to stream immediately. DH thinks I'm too old-fashioned for words. 😄Fortunately we're good at compromise and don't watch all that many programmes together anyway 😁

Agree it's frustrating to get a really tantalising cliff-hanger right at the end of a series though, and have to wait ages for the next one...

Corporation pop was our phrase in the NW in the 1950s and 1960s, especially when the pop man who delivered was due. Along with milk, bottles of pop were probably the earliest form of deliveroo!

I believe that if you're having to regularly put work & effort into your marriage then you haven't married the right person. Life is hard enough, so your relationship should be easy & effortless.

I am supportive of the trans people I know and believe the hatred for them is cruel. Israel is committing genocide and the west is enabling the murder of many innocent children by refusing to apply approprite sanctions

Every personality trait has to be given a name, eg being a naturally reserved or shy person is now named 'social anxiety' or something.

Was anything I said untrue or actually disrespectful? I honesty don’t think it was. I think it was honest and factual.

There was some of that at my secondary - I vividly remember being derided for supposedly 'wearing flares' at a time (1979) when that was considered desperately uncool - best part is they weren't even flares at all, they were straight, just not drainpipes as was the fashion at the time! But actually over the years it started to be considered more cool to ignore it being non-uniform day at all, and just turn up in uniform. I do wonder if that was partly because people were worried about their choices being judged.
