AIBU to think nobody on mumsnet

[goodbyemrschips]

has a nice life?

I have but almost feel embarrassed by it. Please someone come on and say ''yes I have a good life, I'm happy''

And please don't say ''oh lucky you'' or something similar that would be mumsner predictability.

I am very happy with my life.

I think that you don't need a perfect, trouble free life for it to be a happy one. You can have shit things happen and still be happy. You can have stresses and still be happy. You don't need Practically Perfect. But I think people think they do.

I'm pretty happy [busmile]
I have beautiful dd after having 4 mcs, lovely dp and despite the fact that I have just been made redundant am feeling pretty good about life.

i have two lovely kids and a fantastic dh. yes there are stresses, but life is good! (knock on wood - i'm also superstitious).

My life is positively charmed

I have a nice life. I have a gin and tonic and I am going on holiday in a couple of days.

I don't have kids though.

Not sure if that means anything.

It was warming to see your post! I have been browsing posts a lot lately and not posting because it's so easy getting a flaming on here. Being happy is not being smug. I feel happy, we are skint at times but we have a secure home, secure jobs, live in a nice village, with half decent food in the fridge. And a lovely son at a fantastic nursery and doing well. And the sun is shining!

And a bloke who looks like David Beckham, so I am told

Trill - do you not have kids?

I have a nice life and am very happy.

DH is mega, 2 lovely boys, a job I love, no money worries, tis a sunny day, I have a glass of wine, not back at school til Wednesday. And I had a lovely childhood.

No, I'm a MN imposter! :o

I have a good life.

LOvely family, good health, a nice place to live. I am very, very lucky.

But I use mn for off loading about the less-good stuff - my in laws, my lack of sleep, occassional health probs, chronic pain, inability to drive, isolation,etc, etc. So I probably come across as a moaning bastard.

I have a very nice and easy life.

I have a lovely, kind (and handsome) DH.

I have two adorable, beautiful DDs.

I have an ok, reasonably well-paid job although I have almost no qualifications.

My DDs won't have to go to a nursery/childminders until they're 3.10 and 2.2.

I have always managed to live in very nice parts of London though I'm not loaded.

We've just spent a nice year in my native country.

I'm almost always happy although I'm not that nice a person :)

Life is good!

I have a wonderful life. Fab DH, live somewhere lovely, two gorgeous Dcs, good job.
Have arthritis which is a bummer but try to stay on the positive side.
I too use MN to vent.

I have a fucking wonderful life thanks.

And I am happy to accept I am lucky!

I have had years of struggling and worrying so I guess we've 'earned' it. But I still think we are lucky because not everyone gets to have the nice bit after the crap.

What you doin here then Trill?

You could be in a lovely pub somewhere instead of navigating-bedtime-stories-arguments Mumsnetting!

No complaints here, I am delightfully smug.

My life is great! We've got no money but we love each other. Our DS is healthy. We live in a rural area and have plenty of forests and rivers around. I have glorious friends and a sweet, stupid dog. Yup, I'm happy...inadequate bedrooms and all. :o

GOOD GOOD GOOD..

iT IS NOT SMUG TO BE HAPPY, SORTED AND CONFIDENT AT ALL.

Thanks for replying.

sorry bout caps

I like to talk to adult human beings. Most of the internet doesn't seem to be populated by anything resembling an adult human being.

(and I was writing up a PhD and was bored and lacking company at the point when I joined)

I am often in the pub, don't worry

Yes nice life. Lovely childhood too.

I'm not sorted at all, but I'm still happy.

Very happy life and count my blessings. Lovely childhood, loving family. Great DH and 3 healthy, caring and emotionally stable DSs. Lovely ILs too.
Not smug-realise that I am lucky.

Yes - I'm happy, lovely family, good job, fab friends who don't take the piss and great up bringing.

Haven't read the whole thread, but think that people often come on here when things aren't going well, as they need some perspective on their problems. So maybe all of us who are very happy on the whole like to have a moan and a whinge sometimes, which makes it seem as though we're all pissed off?

Agree with surprise - makes boring conversation if you say 'everything is fine and dandy'. Conflict much more entertaining.

I'm happy!!! Have a wonderful DH whom I love and loves me, 3 beautiful DC's, with the woeful few who have an MIL I adore. Happy days as name suggests! Not always perfect, but happy with my lot, love Happymm [busmile]

I have a very nice life and wonderful DCs well behaved and intelligent. A nice house, well three actually. No money problems. I don't tend to mention this as for some reason it is considered smug.

I can mention the MCs, the still born DD and many other awful things.

Like most people there are awful times in life, but we get past them, mostly if not completely.

People often come to MN in their lowest moments and it helps them to know others have sufferred and survived.
