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!?”

I’m sorry that’s happened to you.

OTOH, I don’t require sexual monogamy from my husband, and he still doesn’t mess around with others when I’m available… Some men are quite content with just their OHs

That’s perfectly fine, but not everyone has the confidence to ask, and not everyone will notice someone in need. Someone who is looking at their phone can ignore what is around them. Some passengers even put their bags on the seat next to them when people are standing.

Yes, you have been. I have been cheated on twice, in my first two relationships. I then realised that I was going for the same type of man and chose a different type next time.

Yeah the bag on the seat thing winds me up. I happily ask them to move it.

There is some research out there that say you are statistically more likely to have further relationships with cheaters if you have previously had relationships with cheaters.

To break the cycle you have to do some work to prevent being attracted to or attractive to cheating people. Or to stop behaviours that might enable them.

I found this out after 1 cheated and another asked for a non-monogamous relationship had some therapy to make sure I had a reasonable chance of spotting the issue so I could say thanks but no thanks

That's very interesting. I think, to be on the safe side, I'll remain single and live a boring life with my dogs

The definition of 'hard work' is 'a great deal of effort or endurance'. Raising a child certainly requires this if you are doing it properly. From ferrying a child around to various clubs most nights of the week to hosting playdates and helping with homework. Not to mention the additional chores they create and need for packed lunches etc. Add on top of this the emotional support they need navigating the world and difficult social situations. It can be unbelievably hard witnessing your child go through difficult times which almost all children do.

I understand what you're saying about you not finding it necessarily unpleasantly difficult but this isn't the same as it not being hard work. For example, I own a business I enjoy running and find elements of it not particularly difficult because they suit my skillset. It absolutely does though objectively require hard work.

Both are alive😀

Its not hilarious. You shouldn't feel ashamed either. You should feel ashamed if you don't maintain the property or keep charging more and more unnecessarily

So maybe we should change things to help people instead of saying "life is shit. Let's kill you instead".

Think for a second. Use your brain.

Urghhh. What shit. We have a really good landlord. Its his asset, we respect that. Its our home he respects that.

I think it’s fine to do your makeup and paint your nails on the train.

Paint your nails? That’s just obnoxious.

Obviously that would be ideal. In an ideal world no one would be neglected or abused or live in poverty. I would love that. What are you going to do that brings that about? I am also going to assume your argument is based on some religious nonsense

tumours are also human, alive, and have their own unique DNA. Are we morally obligated to leave them to grow in people’s bodies?

Personally I think the distinction should lie at consciousness: whether an individual can think, feel, perceive, form memories, respond to stimuli, etc. We’re fairly able to discern at what stage of fetal development those things occur in the nervous system.

If you terminate the “life” (I prefer the term “aliveness” but that’s not grammatically correct) of a fetus before it’s even aware of its own existence, it’s not like it can be sad about it.

No, it isn't. It is pragmatic and what's more, a lot of brave Gazans are coming out and saying it.

No, it isn't. It's vulgar and mucky.

I despise the whole Mumsnet anti trans posts. Hate filled bigots all of them.

I've been festering on this for a while and it's irritated me so much that I've had to reply.
So why do I get, hot flushes, poor sleep, brain fog, anxiety, food intolerances, overwhelming rage, dry eyes and crawling itchy skin? Nothing what so ever to do with diet and exercise.
In fact my overwhelming rage is even more overwhelming since I read that post.

Absolutely ❤️❤️❤️

The word bigot has lost all meaning.

As has being a "hater"

It makes the speaker sound like a silly child.

I quite like watching it personally. I'm crap at makeup myself.

I don't need to think about it. I’m happy for women to have autonomy over their own bodies and for fewer unwanted children to be born.

Nothing is going to change regarding the care system or children living in homes where they are neglected or abused. As I said, you’re living in cloud cuckoo land if you think it will. You are, of course, welcome to suggest how you’d solve those issues though…

AI is pernicious society-destroying shit and if you use it to do your colours or redesign your pantry space you are a fool.

A tape worm and parasite are alive too, it doesn't make them human. If a woman doesn't want those in her body, she can remove them from her person. Same with a blastocyst or embryo that has no skeleton, no brainstem, no nerve receptors or sentience.
