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?

Best thread..ever

Have you RTFT? Perhaps you should...

So you expect your au pair to wash dishes? Really?

Stick to a vegetarian diet and it'll drop off in no time.

At least that's what happened to DH.

Have you thought abut expressing some milk?

Ptolemy Colin?
Octavian Colin?
Plantagenet Colin?

So he would like you to retire so that you can travel the world together, discover each other once more, take romantic last-minute trips to Paris and shopping trips to New York? And he is to fund this with his pension?

Red flag. Controlling behaviour. Change the locks. LTB.
Send him over here please.

There's no such thing as the working-class anymore, OP

Have you tried the 30 day shred?

I haven't actually read the whole thread because in all honesty I can't be arsed, but actually it's more important that I get my opinion heard at this point.

In fact, I didn't really read the OP either, hope you don't mind, OP! I have more important things to do.

Occurs to me now that I didn't actually read the title either, erm, what's it about?

You sound lovely OP

Go ahead - retire & enjoy yourself!

Hasn't anyone told you that 'no' is a complete sentence?

When I was younger I was absolutely stunning, not to boast. I only get one wolf whistle a day now

I had lots of fun in my youth
complete slapper

Fruit is just sugar and water, you know, so don't delude yourself into thinking you've given your dc a healthy snack.

Raisins? You might as well give then lumps of crack.

Is £5 a fair amount to charge for a cake pop?

I'd key her car, punch her in the face and wee on her mum. But then, I'm a stroppy mare

I remember you from your other threads OP, weren't you the one with the yoni-massaging husband?

My 18 month old has never eaten sugar. I just don't understand why you'd give it to a child. His favourite snack is a mooncup of hummus.

I think it's just that I have a bitchy resting face.

Take everything out of her room and then take the door off the hinges... She has to earn her stuff back.

Xenophobia was top of my girl's list, but we had a boy. Go for it!!
