AIBU to think that comprehension just isn't a strong point with some people.

I've noticed this quite a lot over the time I have on MN.

Referring to a recent thread re early retirement. The poster quite clearly stated that DH wanted to retire in 14 months (when mortgage paid) and wanted her to retire at the same time. She is 10 years his junior and works part time.

OK, first answer was "So he wants you both to retire in early forties"

Second response "Can you change to part time work"

I can understand this if we were 10 pages into the thread because we don't all have time to read all responses, but come on, the first two responses?

Actually my DS was reading Dickens for fun by the time he started reception, so it is possible.

LTB. Sweetie; You have a dh problem, not a mil problem. How very dare he defend his own mother- all you did was try to go on a permanent NC by knifing her!? I mean she asked to see you every other Sunday of every other leap year! Meddling mare!

Newly single, about to go on dating scene. Should I remove my pubic hair?

That's a massive red flag OP. Get out now, while you still can.

YABU to post this in AIBU. Someone from knitting will be along soon with better advice than me though.

I haven't read the whole thread because clearly I am the only person who had the vision to suggest that you shop at Lidl even though the thread is 10 pages long, the op has already explained there is no Lidl in 50 miles and she doesn't drive.

Oh my god I just spat wine all over my keyboard and woke the baby and the dog that lives 3 streets away. This is the funniest thread I have ever read in my life ever

Yes you are very u to be asking about putting your heating on in September. Some people cannot afford central hearing. Why would you make them feel bad? Is that a stealth boast about central heating? Well? Is it?

Waffles80 · 29/09/2014 19:10

Go NC.

With your entire family.

And eveyone else you know.

Wailywailywaily · 29/09/2014 18:54

My mil kissed my baby today. Fucking controlling bitch.

I suspect she has also purchased a breast pump, for herself.
