I'm a busy guy. I've got stuff to do, people to see and small animals to feed. (Metaphorical small animals, not real ones). What are some responses I can post on any thread without having to do all that crappy and time consuming reading the thread business?

Get a grip.

PrincessMaryaBolkonskaya · 29/12/2019 22:07

You sound like you need to do the freedom program. Have a look online and see if there’s one near you.

Lweji · 29/12/2019 22:09

Oh, whatever you reply, just start with "I haven't RTFT, but..."

You'll be fine. Grin

I’ll never understand why people don’t get married before having children.

IndianaMoleWoman · 29/12/2019 22:11

L-A, pronounced La-dash-a.

It’s not an urban myth, I know 4 of them under 10. It’ll probably be a top 20 name next year.

Food of the Gods!

Lweji · 29/12/2019 22:17

Pick up a spelling mistake in the OP or title and point it out.

EgremontRusset · 29/12/2019 22:17

Personally I wouldn’t have had children without being married first

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 29/12/2019 22:18

You sound lovely, OP.

Or

Grim.

(Depending on context)

“You should definitely go no contact with your mother, she sounds like a narcissist”.... said about any situation involving a falling out with a mum whether they’re a genuinely nice lady who inadvertently brought the OP Coco Mademoiselle for their birthday when they prefer Chanel No. 5 or Rose West.

Miljea · 29/12/2019 22:28

You sound vile (a word you never see in RL); and....

Maypole dancing?

PotteryLottery · 29/12/2019 22:35

Get a grip, OP.

Muminabun · 29/12/2019 22:37

I’m sat here in tears reading your post op.

LastNameMarple · 29/12/2019 22:41

He sounds like a narcissist.

Bringonspring · 29/12/2019 22:44

Brilliant thread

FairyLightsAreMyCrack · 29/12/2019 22:54

Just spat out my tea laughing

Oh it's no trouble I just chuck/throw/lob/rocket propel some food in the oven

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 29/12/2019 23:18

Have you tried counselling?

Could you retrain as a childminder?

Could you get a cleaner?

Could you retrain as a phone sex chat worker?

Have you tried shopping at Aldi instead? I am drooling at the thought of their salted caramel brioche mince pies washed down with own brand toffee and herring gin.

Could you retrain as a health visitor?

You sound like a snob.

Ever thought of becoming a teacher?

That name really doesn't pass the high court judge test.

Have you considered retraining as an undertaker?

Doubleraspberry · 29/12/2019 23:26

You sound controlling, OP.

Sorry to derail the thread but if I ate that much oxygen all at once I’d have to lie down; this is why we have an obesity crisis. Hmm

Mumsnet has changed for the worst.

Doingtheboxerbeat · 30/12/2019 00:15

I have literally never heard /seen /read about this before, therefore I call BS.

You obviously need to get a better paid job op.

Have you thought about asking your family /friends/bank for a loan rather than a doorstop lender?

PaperbackBlighter · 30/12/2019 00:18

Geologist here.

Doingtheboxerbeat · 30/12/2019 00:28

I agreed with you right up until you used the word "hubby /nibbles /little man /the girls".

WatcherintheRye · 30/12/2019 00:37

You really are overthinking this, op.

TimeForPlentyIn2020 · 30/12/2019 02:45

I feel sorry for your kids Sad
