A couple come to mind. I made a post about how this it's a very suburban white American thing to insist every kid should have their own bedroom when that's not anything close to normal historically. This was inspired by a friend of mine who is buying a house that has two more bedrooms than people (and they're not having any more kids). Not to mention I'm old enough that I have friends who have multiple kids and everyone thinks it's just beyond the pale to force kids to share a bedroom, even if the parents can't really afford more rooms. I stand by my position, but you all seemed to really not like this one.
I also said the Falklands should go back to Argentina, because fuck Nonce Island and the whole idea of overseas colonies. It's also a military weakness for Argentina that the UK (and so by extension the US/NATO) has an island off it's a coast. OTOH, Argentina is also a settler colonial nation so it's not like they have a "right" to it either. And yeah, about 2,000 people live there now and presumably they would have to either become Argentinian or move back to the UK. So it's admittedly a mixed bag.
So what are your least popular takes? This is all in good fun so I'll remove any comments that try and make this a struggle session.
Yes, I mean, having your own room has a lot of benefits, it's certainly "better". I guess my opinion is shaped by my immediate social circle where people are shamed and viewed as being "bad" parents if they are not able to provide that for kids.
That makes sense. I definitely don't think it makes someone a bad parent if they can't afford to provide each child with their own room. I just think if it's possible, it's a good option.
I agree.
I would never say that you're a bad parent if you can't provide a room for every kid. It's a bad economic system, that doesn't allow every parent to provide their children with a standard of living considered normal and good.
