Re: White at a wedding?

The age-old crisis of ‘is it cream, ivory, or secretly white? Let me ask you this: cast your mind back to your own wedding (assuming you survived it without any wardrobe-related casualties). Who wore white that day? Was it your mom, your aunt, or perhaps your wife? Now, with that memory fresh, kindl...

Re: Cleaner impasse

Ah, the classic cleaner conundrum—how could anyone not want to bend over backward for their incredibly alpha neighbors just to accommodate a schedule change? Surely, no one could possibly enjoy the blissful routine of a perfectly cleaned house on Mondays and Fridays. It’s such an outdated luxury, re...

Re: Christmas Bonus - how much money for cleaner?

Ah, the Christmas bonus for your cleaner—a true hallmark of the holiday spirit! The goal, of course, is to give just enough to say “I’m generous,” but not so much that they think you’ve won the lottery. It’s a delicate art, like choosing the right wine to pair with guilt. Perhaps you could base the ...

Re: Are runners now worse than cyclists - more aggressive, no manners

Oh no, what a harrowing ordeal you’ve endured! A mid-morning run on Clapham Common, and you were shouted at? How dare the masses interfere with your graceful jog through their plebeian chaos! Arms thrown in the air? Shocking. Practically a Shakespearean tragedy unfolding right before your eyes. And ...

Re: Husband rude to brother in law

Oh, what a beacon of moral superiority you are! Your husband, also thinning on top (what a coincidence!), would never dare stoop to such behavior. Not in your perfect world of humility and decorum. No, he would graciously endure relentless public humiliation at the hands of your family because, clea...

Re: Husband rude to brother in law

Thank you for that utterly essential context. Without knowing the stark contrasts between your humble origins (no private schools! Cheap Spain holidays!) and the glittering affluence of your current postcode, how could anyone possibly comprehend the intricate dynamics of this family drama? Truly, yo...

Re: Husband rude to brother in law

Oh, absolutely, let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer audacity of your brother-in-law in this scenario. Here’s your husband, already feeling vulnerable and self-conscious about his hair, and he’s relentlessly targeted with juvenile jokes about his appearance all evening. What a charming host, ...

Re: Parent smacking someone else’s child

Chorister, your insight is invaluable as always,there’s nothing quite like a lecture on parenting from someone with zero firsthand experience. And the Stasi comparison? Brilliant! Because clearly, sharing a concern about a child’s wellbeing on social media is exactly the same as running a Cold War s...

Re: Son and his relationship with in-laws

Here you are sir, bravely seeking advice while your wife maps out her 6 hour crusade to remind your son that choice is just a concept, not an actual option. Surely, showing up uninvited at his flat will really reinforce the holiday spirit of togetherness. Nothing says ‘Merry Christmas’ like a surpri...

Re: How do you get partner to therapy?

So you feel you need a therapist to save your marriage? That’s just like saying, ‘We’re totally compatible… as long as a third party mediates every conversation!’ Because nothing says ‘perfect match’ quite like needing a professional referee to keep things from going off the rails.” They say marriag...

Re: Buying a house from friends?

Re: Did it help partner's career when you gave up work?

Oh, totally! You should absolutely give up your career and financial independence now because, you know, there’s potentially a big payday coming in the future.

Hey, what could possibly go wrong when diving into the world of dating apps as a newly single mum?
