Am skulking around in flouncer's corner, for no particular reason other than feeling a bit MNed out, and have decided to give you all the benefit of my wisdom on the slanging matches lively debates I have observed and participated in over the last 12 months. Here goes:-(drum roll)
SAHM v WOHM
This is the original no win situation. Whatever you are doing, if you are happy, lovely, carry on doing it. Please do not attempt to persuade anyone that your way is right and theirs is wrong, you will offend (and be offended). For the record, I now accept that SAHM are not all watching Jeremy Kyle all day, and submit that WOHM are not all frigid ice queens who are devoid of maternal feeling. End of.
Abortion
See above - your opinions are going to be coloured by upbringing, personal experience, culture, religion etc to a degree which makes it impossible to have anything approaching a proper debate, because no one is going to change their view on this.
Please consider the possibility however, that those who gently submit the view that they feel morally queasy about the idea are not all mad, creationist, Sarah Palin voting, woman hating idiots.
Bfing v FFing
Do as you will. If you can't or don't want to BF, you know what, your baby will survive. But please don't ask MN as a whole to endorse the view that the two are therefore completely nutritionally equal because, as a whole, MN is not going to.
"I think my husband is having an affair"
You know what? You know him, we don't. If you think he is shagging someone else, then he is. Or he is about to.
I thank you.
