AIBU to say Mumsnet has some particularly bonkers opinions?

I have been a long time MN lurker, but the last 3 weeks have actually been posting due to a post op. The place is bonkers, and I am going to miss it now I am on the mend.

Here are a few bonkers opinions.

  1. Men can become women

  2. If you have more than £3.46 left for the week, you have loads and shouldn't ask for budgeting advice.

  3. If you are uncomfortable with husband going to a strip club or a candlelit dinner with his ex, you are a controlling old witch who doesn't trust him.

  4. Something magical happens to your children the day they turn 18, and you should charge them market rent and not help them anymore.

  5. If you want to see a country that is a long haul flight away, you are environmentally worse than a Bond Villain.

  6. Dogs should always be on their leads, even in dog walking parks.

What else?

Because I got a notification. I had not returned before the notification because of how weird the OP is.

This whole thread amounts to 'AIBU to take a few weirdos on an open anonymous forum and claim they represent a significant opinion'.

  1. Men can become women - this is hilarious, MN is mostly TERF, there are very few people on here who support this view
  2. If you have more than £3.46 left for the week, you have loads and shouldn't ask for budgeting advice. - no idea where this came from, was it one particular thread you read that made you believe this is some sort of a dominant opinion?
  3. If you are uncomfortable with husband going to a strip club or a candlelit dinner with his ex, you are a controlling old witch who doesn't trust him. - bullshit, the majority would shout LTB for a much lesser crime
  4. Something magical happens to your children the day they turn 18, and you should charge them market rent and not help them anymore. - again, is this based on a single thread?
  5. If you want to see a country that is a long haul flight away, you are environmentally worse than a Bond Villain. - most on people on here travel a lot, read Travel section - no one is saying this
  6. Dogs should always be on their leads, even in dog walking parks. - well, this is probably true because this is a sensible opinion
