Pregnancy

How will the abolition of mums and dads effect us and our babies?

Does anyone else mind not being recognised as the mother of their baby, if the law changes, maybe in the new year, with the marriage changes?
Will mumsnet have to rename itself as LegalParentAnet?

Do you mean the "Abolition of Mummy and Daddy(derogatory terms) Act 2012"?

No, under the same-sex marriage law, mother's will be called Legal parent A's, and fathers, Legal parent B's - didn't you realise?

Well there is a man snoring behind me, and a posh student type fucking knitting in front of me, which is making me irrationally angry.

No, I'm just a mum, and I want to be recognised as one.

What's he/she knitting? Is it a scarf, or something more involved?

Did the daily mail tell you this by any chance?

Pretty sure we're not all being abolished. Is there some sort of contingency plan? Should we gather in an air raid shelter? Who's bringing the spam and do we need zombie backpacks?

(OP, a bit of clarity at the start of the thread and perhaps a link would be good.)

I don't really care what I'm called on official documents. I'm still Mum, always will be.
