No is a complete sentence.

Saying 'did you mean to be so rude'

Well fuck yes they probably did. Please don't ever it.

No, fuck spas. Go to the pub and get smashed.

Fucking toilet brushes

FlibbertigibbetArmadillo · 16/09/2016 23:10

What is this zoflora everyone talks about?

skyyequake · 16/09/2016 23:10

"can you outsource?"

"call the police!"

There are probably more Grin

'Have you considered childminding?'

As though it's an absolute doddle and all SAHMs should do it for a bit of extra cash. It's a vocational, demanding and overwhelming career that is not for everybody.

Tiredbutfuckingfine · 16/09/2016 23:11

Toilet brushes are evil

"Show him this thread" Yeah - because I really want him to read in black and white that I think he's a philandering small-dicked mommy's boy with a God complex don't I Grin

Buy a slow cooker

Fine if you want slop for tea every night 😂

"My baby wakes up every 2 hours throughout the night and I'm exhausted and at the end of my tether."

"Oh just co-sleep, then you'll be fine."

LumpyMcBentface · 16/09/2016 23:15

Get a cleaner.

Because everyone can afford one, obviously. Hmm
