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

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?

Buying clothes high street brands like Newlook or Primark or dare I say it Shein. It always cracks me up on here that whenever someone asks for a suggestion for say a bikini the replies are always links to items that are £150 plus.. Never, I got a nice one in Primark for a tenner.

Age gap relationships. Everyone thinks you must marry or have relationships with someone the same age and then every same age relationship works out forever. No divorce/no splitting up.😃

As someone that is absurdly liberal myself I have actually noticed the opposite. There are a lot of very right wing posters and views on here and it’s been getting worse of late.

I think MN used to lean quite liberal but not anymore.

Ensuite bathrooms

Anything that isn't a "big salad" for dinner

Massively disagree.

Certain posters on here probably 😂

Pulling a sickie.

MN has conniptions about taking time off work for any reason other than your leg has been severed and you're bleeding out, or you have sepsis.

(But also, don't go into work if you have a cold because you might kill someone vulnerable.)

Baby, that IS a sensible political stance

Having more than half a sherry at Christmas

Answering the front door

😂

Am I reading a different forum? Everyone loves Disney, McDs and Centre Parcs on here.

Superdry clothes

Maligned on here but I see a lot of people wearing them and not just middle aged men!

Men, in general.

Drinking anything for the first 18 years of your child’s life

I was going to say the same 😅

and being happy. MN is so incredibly negative

Getting angry with - and possibly shouting at - your children. I remember a thread on here a few weeks ago with a woman who had shouted at her child and was berating herself with thoughts of how she'd ruined their relationship and let herself down.

Cockerpoos - reviled on The Doghouse for all sorts of reasons (some reasonable, some not), but wildly popular, as can be seen in every park in the country.

Having a coffee out.

Answering your door

Agree re Primark. I’ve got lovely stuff from there some is similar to Boden items. Yes, I can afford Boden!

The feminism board is an absolute shit show.

Boomers
Particularly those boomers who have inherited a nice wad from their deceased parents.
How dare those parents have worked hard and scrimped to buy a house 60 years ago which has increased in value in the ensuing years

Drag queens! I don't know anyone in real life who doesn't love a drag act

Getting tipsy on purpose
Trying to see it from someone else's perspective
Listening
Agreeing to disagree
