What’s disliked on Mumsnet but very popular in everyday life?

[coulditbeme2323]

What's hated on MN, but insanely popular in real life?

Disney World
Starbucks, Costa, Nero etc
Center Parcs
A sensible political stance
McDonald's

What else?

Naturally.

The Royal Family

Friends
Family
Food, eating in general

Also ironic, given the title of the thread, as the Conservatives are NOT very popular in real life. Destroyed in the last GE and polling at an all-time low!

I do. 👍

Surely you can understand that a "sensible political stance" is in the eye of the beholder?

"Common sense" is such a cop out. One person's common sense is another person's extremism/stupidity/self-indulgence.

When people evoke "common sense" or a "sensible" position to win an argument it just means either that they dislike anyone who doesn't agree with them or that they can't articulate their own position properly.

I once mentioned having two glasses of wine a week and had a reply telling me I was poisoning my body and my soul .

Not by anyone I know!

Men is a great one!

Fun. In real life, most people like holidays, having friends, seeing friends, organising parties, celebrating birthdays, weddings.

A hard stance against asylum seekers.

Adequate amounts of food (if you can't make a medium-sized chicken fees a family of four for a week, you're a spendthrift).

Stanley Baxter and Danny la Rue were immensely popular.

Everyone halt! @Mangelwurzelfortea is here and knows everything and has the final word on everything!

Dummies for babies

BABY SHOWERS

Dogs

Kids at weddings

Letting anyone see your baby before they are three months old.

I don’t thing anyone that drinks alcohol is allowed to join Mumsnet?

Eating......

Also Dame Edna Everage

It's always people on the right who do this too. There are as many left-leaning people as right-leaning, but it's only the ones on the right who feel attacked for their views, despite them apparently being the 'sensible' views that everyone secretly shares. I wonder why.

Answering the door, one of life's essentials rather than one of life's pleasures. I ansewered the door 3 times yesterday and am still here to tell the tale.

1. The postman with a parcel for my birthday
2. The electrician to do some pre-booked work
3. My next door neighbour who wanted to ask me something.

Being happily married!
Speaking to each other like grown ups! Rather than getting divorced or going non contact!
Sensible parenting.

Pandora jewellery and Baylis and Harding things.

I have no axe to grind for either of these - I don't possess any Pandora stuff - because I'm pretty old and it wasn't around in my youth.

But honestly - the snobbery about Pandora on here! It's just modern, comparatively inexpensive jewellery aimed at young women. I've never understood the hate it gets on MN - it can only be down to pure snobbery.

Baylis and Harding is just...liquid soap...what's not to like? The lettering on the bottles is stylish and simple...it's fairly inexpensive, it does the job. But whenever people are given it on MN it goes straight to the chazza, or in the bin, and huge, lifelong offence is taken.
