to be slightly addicted to AIBU?

[bookforgoddaughter]

I am a (happily) childless (gay) man.

I left a message on Mumsnet because I wanted some advice on books for my god daughter. While on, I had a quick peek at AIBU and have been addicted ever since. I always have a 20 minute browse before going to sleep.

My DCP (darling civil partner -I'm trying to start a new term) thinks that:

a. It is weird that I find it so interesting.
b. I am not welcome as I am not a mum nor female

It came to a head last night when I was crying with laughter in bed over the hamwidge thread. It was impossible to explain.

AIBU and, indeed, am I welcome?

[MolotovCocktail]

You are very welcome, of course :)

And wait til you explore the rest of the site: it won't just be AIBU that you'll want to read!!

[DollyClothespeg]

If you find AIBU funny, you'll be properly crying with laughter at some of the threads in Classics if you've not been in there yet!

[idonthaveone]

Of course you are welcome tell your DCP (nice term) to read for 10 mins and see if he's not addicted

[SirBoobAlot]

No, get out

It is terribly addictive. Agree with the above, check out classics, though not just before bed.

[MolotovCocktail]

MN is awesome and isn't just for parents, y'know :)

[SirBoobAlot]

And I like DCP, we should take that one on!

[SauceForTheGander]

Give up the fight : You belong to us now

[MolotovCocktail]

I'm on every day unless I'm ill (rarely) or too much is going on (sometimes). MN definitely shares some of my 'me time'!

[Sparklingbrook]

Hello. Of course you are welcome.

[musickeepsmesane]

YANBU. I agree that you should read classics too. Anything that makes me laugh the way classics does can only be a good thing. Sometimes AIBU makes me want to hide behind my computer

[chocoluvva]

Mwahhaha - the cunning plan worked - you are in our trap...

[kneedeepindaisies]

Hi OP.

Of course you are welcome.

Definitely check out classics. I agree AIBU is brilliant too!

[Whatalotofpiffle]

Very welcome!! Hello, fellow addict!!

[Sunnywithshowers]

YANBU. Sprogs not essential I don't have any.

I came to AIBU 2 years ago and have never left.

[bookforgoddaughter]

Slightly embarrassed that I uploaded this thread twice and have two conversations going on. Will improve!

DCP cannot believe that I have posted this thread. He thinks it is something to do with the glass of white. Outrageous slur.

[Badvoc]

You are very welcome.

Sit here by me :)

[Badvoc]

Check it the classics thread.
You will weep with laughter

[CheckpointCharlie]

Pop into the Drunk Thread on Friday night too, see you there or be square.

I am a childless 20-something and discovered Mumsnet specifically AIBU a few years ago. Like you, became totally addicted. DP thinks it's weird. I think he's jealous that Mumsnet offers me something he doesn't

[SirBoobAlot]

Your DCP hasn't been roped in. Yet. Give it time

[BlatantRedhead]

chat is frankly brilliant too, as is Mumsnet Classics - ZOMBIE PLANS!

[MadBusLady]

There is no escape. You are ours now.

See here, a thread of spooky things.

[Molehillmountain]

Yabu to be merely slightly addicted

[OrangeLily]

Childless here too!

Be wary of classics.... Only read when you have about a day to kill and don't read on a phone as your thumb will break from scrolling
