To ask for an opinion you wouldn't say out loud for fear of judgement? (Inoffensive and light hearted please)

Weather men and women should be sexy.

I don't care if youre a meteorological prodigy

It means it’s terribly po-faced to point out the flaw in every argument when the whole point is we know the arguments aren’t logical.

Dogs should not be allowed inside publc spaces (unless they are assistance dogs). I will always decline your request to bring your dog with you to my house or any social event we are attending. Also, dogs are not your babies.

Yes! Speed bumps are there to slow you right down for safety reasons. We were considering having some in our private road (around our blocks of flats) to make it safer for kids, but people voted against it saying “they damage your car”. Only if you don’t slow down you numpties! That’s the point!

Also guilty, and also have a washing machine ( and a regularly washed dog)

People who have any form of cosmetic procedure never look younger, they just look like they've had surgery.

Here’s one: people who write virtuously "I think people have every right to be trans if they want. Not my business." when actually very few would object to people being trans if they want, if the trans people didn’t insist on making it everyone else's business by demanding that everyone else use the language the trans person wants them to and demanding admission to spaces, awards, opportunities etc. reserved (for good reasons) for a single sex.

Yes, you can wear - or not wear - whatever you like, but that won’t alter the fact that some outfits are going to make you look irredeemably tarty/common as muck/chavvy/attention-seeking/slovenly/slatternly (pyjamas in public).

Anyone who posts about their partner's 'hobby', without revealling what it is 'because it might be outing' deserves a lifetime ban from mumsnet.

Actually that probably isn't unpopular.

Yep. Tall people need to sit at the back of the theatre.

Contrary to earlier posters, I think there is much more undiganosed / unrecognised ND about and in years to come so called NT will be the minority.

They’d have to swap the labels then…

That lip pumping just looks so obvious and silly. In my head I laugh when I see it on grown women. I wouldn’t dream of saying it out loud. They always looked better before. Just why.

People not taking responsibility for their dogs poor behaviour. Not walking the dog adequately or attempting any kind of training where they have to put in some effort and consistency. Then making lighthearted ‘get a dog they said’ comments. The dog isn’t the issue, it’s you.

...and healthy, I bet. Rather a dog on the bed than a sterile home.

Driving a car turns otherwise normal, sensible people into entitled taunts.

That’s because they don’t want to knack their suspension.

Comparing your dog to my baby in that it’s just the same to look after and that they can grow up together, like they are cousins. Just no. Expecting Easter/Christmas/Birthday/Valentines treats for said dog.

And aswell

Personalised number plates are awful. I can just about let off the 21 year old lad in the office but anyone else no.

😄

Funnily enough, yes I guess it does. Although lots of the sporting teams are more and more family friendly now for training and travelling which is fab to read.
I know it’s more of a “Me”’issue and believe me I am trying to work on it. But yeah I guess I am very much ingrained in the Mums should put their children first and spend as much time as possible with them, and make sacrifices such as not being high powered business women or full time brain surgeons if that takes them away from parenting for too long. I strongly feel children are being robbed of good attachment basis with the push for full time working for both parents or indeed the necessity due to cost of living and housing etc. I believe this is impacting on MH issues as so much of our childhood experiences is linked to our mental health and wellbeing and the beliefs we hold about ourselves. So whilst you see a focus on hobbies being important to MH preservation, I see mums being present for their children in the early years and beyond as a focus. But I am sure there are many shades of grey in this.

I promise, noone is going to guess who you are if you just tell us what the hobby is 😄

I don't like Colin the Caterpillar cake.

I was genuinely grateful that so many groups of people made an effort to celebrate my birthday last year, but I can't deny I was disappointed it was Colin who showed up at every event.

Well that doesn’t make sense then does it. If it’s “typical” then that’s the norm. So if more people fit into the ND categories then the fact is that the definitions are wrong and the spectrum has been widened too much to fit the diagnosis and be meaningful any more if everyone meets some criteria in it.

Agreed. And the same applies to adults.
