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?

I find that limiting screen times for the retired folk around this way helps them to sleep.
Or you could try controlled crying.

Try meal planning

There was a thread exactly like this last week - are you hoping for different answers this time OP?

I parked in the P&C space today and had a sleep

My youngst is 15.

My cat blinds toddlers by shitting in their sandpits and although I havnt had an alcoholic drink since 1989 in martydom of mummyhood incase I need to drive to casualty with any of my children

I've laughed so hard on this thread I woke the baby 20 houses away and scared the neighbour's puppy.

You have a vegetarian coming round for tea? just give them fish or chicken.

So anyway DP said to DF that if DGP are coming then maybe NDN and DS1 could arrive a bit later; however DSIL is not pleased with that as she wants DN to be included, so I told DS3's teacher that maybe DF's DS1 could wait for DS3..................

Not cobras. Vipers.

And TSSDNCOP.

I haven't RTFT but has anyone suggested tea tree oil?

Is this a TAAT?

Poor form OP.

What is DH?

Sorry OP, you've been Wendied.

OP, did you not consider that they might have a HIDDEN disability?

But really, OP, how would you feel if you were the poor little girl you'd met one time, who wasn't at your Christmas Party not watching everyone else open their Smarties? You're very mean to neglect the child who wasn't there and probably doesn't even know you exist. You should have taken a different present from under the tree and dropped it in the place she wasn't standing in to include her.

But the problem with grammar schools is ......

Shouldn't this be in Relationships?

Naice ham, penisbeaker, mouldies...

Sharon, where have you been?

You wouldn't be in this mess if your bridesmaid hadn't stolen the brooch bouquet and hair clip. Again.

Well, I met one Muslim once and HE ate bacon might have been beef

But I always wash towels everyday.

I only change my sheets once a year.

Spruce it up with a coat of Farrow & Ball Elephant's Penis. It's dark enough to cover the felt tip.

Getting the popcorn out and settling down......................

I feel sorry for your children

You use JARS of sauce?! Oh won't somebody think of the children
