I’ve just read the thread about someone who hasn’t named their baby after a week because they can’t agree on a name; the husband wants one and wasn’t allowed to name the other two kids they have. The number of people recommending the OP just takes the baby and registers it with the name she likes (which is ’a Scottish/Irish name’ despite her picking two Welsh names)

The thread about pizza hut’s salad bar being disgusting is a gem at the moment. My favourite bit is the OP’s reasoning that ‘one’ must take ‘ones’ children for these ‘Americanised treats’ so they don’t get bullied 🫠

There I a thread at the moment about inappropriate words of condolences. They are trying to out do each other!
i saw that. If half of it is true then its disgusting but then you have someone who then says

‘my mother died and my very inconsiderate friend dared to bring me chocolate!!!!!’

Threads about people having no money left over at the end of the month and MN is suggesting moving house?! It's incredibly costly to move house!
Not to mention how long it can take. Our house went on the market this time last year, we should be completing next week

My parents sold their house in December 2021, they didn't actually move into their new home until April 2021. It's really expensive to move house, plus there's the upheaval too and finding a place that's suitable for your family's needs.

Everyone keeps wanting me to put my little one (2yrs old) into nursery. I don't want too. I worked in them & didn'tfind the kids learnt anything ot was always play, play & play.. we do the same stuff at home that nurseries do.. plus we get to have days out and have family fun go out have as much holidays as we get get before we need to book in school holidays.
Why should I put LO in nursery too socialise LO got whole life to do that. I want to spend enough time bonding and playing before LO out grows it or us
LO plays with the neighbours kids everyday also so she socialise with them.
Why can't people leave us be.

Were you the poster who started the thread about this on mumsnet? Apologies if you’re not, but there was a thread the other day about this exact issue and most posters agreed that the child should go. As usual with mumsnet though, some people didn’t have the nicest approach.

You posted this on Mumsnet didn’t you- but didn’t like the answers much. Some were pretty brusque admittedly. You’ve only posted half the story here as well! Also- small children learn through play. Shocker. I hardly want my ten month old sitting at a desk to study quantum theory of a Monday morning thanks.

Hopefully one day we'll all be strong enough to make our own decisions without asking for validation from strangers in the internet. I understand that you have to cope with family & friends opinions, unwanted or otherwise but really giving credence to a bunch of mumsnetters is completely unnecessary stress.

NO wasn't me, some reason my account was block when I was pregnant & I only asked about hospital with covid

@BlueRose, I'm not on Mumsnet, so no idea what was posted there and whoever that was - but:
In general I'm with you, people should mind their own business, if someone wants to put their kid in a creche, fine, if others don't also fine. Some people have no choice, and even that isn't really anyone's business if they can't do anything about it either.
Unless there are concerns like money being tight and maybe gently suggesting that going back to work might be better long-term, I'm not sure why people keep pushing.

I'm in Germany and here, you can't win at all: Bringing your kid to nursery and you're a bad mum. If you do it so that you can work, maybe you shouldn't have had a kid in the first place. Not bringing them to nursery - well, you're having a death-clutch on your child, they'll end up socially inept and what about your career? What did you go to uni for? To stay at home?
