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?

OP posts:

AnyFucker, that's just typical of you. Always ready to stick the boot in. Op clearly wants to stay with her dh and I'm very brave for standing up to your constant bullying on here Angry

The first two answers were just ridiculous. I mean, read the original post ffs.

I just don't believe you're a 38B, OP. Is that a Marks & Spencer measurement.

LuisSuarezTeeth · 30/09/2014 10:18

Look, I'm 5ft2, weigh 15st and I am a healthy size 8. What's your problem?

It's an invitation not a summons!

If they retire and move to a retirement home make sure there is some pampas grass outside

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 30/09/2014 10:23

Luis, it's about time someone stuck up for the op with all you lot bullying her and telling her what to do!

Op you should ignore everyone else and do what I tell you to do!

LuisSuarezTeeth · 30/09/2014 10:25

OP, FuckYou always wades in with this argument...

Jill2015 · 30/09/2014 10:33

Does he/ she have children? Thought not. Because people who have no children wouldn't understand/ wouldn't think of...delete as applicable.

Maybe she has sensory issues?

You could make pizza dough and freeze it.

Hey, have you seen this really disgusting dinosaur porn on amazon?

Nessalina · 30/09/2014 10:49

Could it be implantation bleeding?!

Don't Google dragon butter op.

Was it your husband T-Rexing in the supermarket?

HeartOfADog · 30/09/2014 11:11

Have you checked for tongue tie?

AMumInScotland · 30/09/2014 11:13

Well that's the trouble with calculating your BMI, isn't it? I mean, I know this body-builder and it says she's morbidly obese even though she's got no boobs and hasn't had a period in ten years.

Downamongtherednecks · 30/09/2014 11:13

I'll ask my DH when he comes home. He'll know what you should do because his brother's friend is married to a doctor and he's a man

HeartOfADog · 30/09/2014 11:15

OP, are you me??

MrsCosmopilite · 30/09/2014 11:17

How do you know he's been wearing your bra? I think you should talk about it, calmly and in a neutral environment.

Fletchermoss · 30/09/2014 11:21

I EBF all my children and they are all junior members of MENSA. If everyone was EBF there would have been no misunderstanding of the OP. In fact, I now have NC with my mother because she did not EBF me and I have had to undergo years of therapy as a result.
