to be slightly addicted to AIBU?

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?

You have to put at the start of the link and at the end, to make it a clicky link Smile

McNewPants2013 · 14/05/2013 21:12

Tiredmumno1 · 14/05/2013 21:13

Oh haha I thought you were doing a link

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 14/05/2013 21:14

Brilliant!

We should ask MNHQ to add DCP to the acronym list

You are the second GM to out himself as a MN fan on here in about a week.

Welcome

McNewPants2013 · 14/05/2013 21:15

I like DCP

HotCrossPun · 14/05/2013 21:17

YANBU and you are very welcome Grin

I second a call to MNHQ to get DCP added to the list!

Ponyo73 · 14/05/2013 21:18

Dear book, a. Not weird at all to find it interesting and b. you are so welcome because you are you and I know that myself and thousand others would love to hear your opinions and views. You sound fab! Wish I could see some of the very intelligent, interesting mnetters that frequent this forum. Tee hee. Mind you, I am becoming a bit too engrossed these days and may have to seek help.

Tiredmumno1 · 14/05/2013 21:18

Yy to DCP Smile

bookforgoddaughter · 14/05/2013 21:45

Thank you all. I now feel very welcome.

I have told DCP he is wrong. He now thinks I m more weird than before.

Smile @ Jamie

And of course you are welcome book, this is where the absolute best folk hang out.

Don't just look at AIBU, mix it up a little and explore.

Hello, I am addicted too tbh. I have had some real humdingers on theads! Am a working mum and a bit right wing so sometimes some try and chase me off threads so they can just end up agreeing with each!

The big threads are SAHM v Working Mums, private v state. People living on benefits wondering whether to have another child...Those are the ones that really kick off.

And remember that when someone starts to swear at you and call you names - you are getting somewhere and they dont have an answer apart from calling you a cxxt!!!!

thebody · 15/05/2013 17:29

Welcome welcome and love your dcp term.

Beware it is addictive.

CalamityKate · 15/05/2013 17:31

Welcome!

AIBU is soooooo addictive.

TheOneWithTheHair · 15/05/2013 17:33

Tell your dcp to get on here himself. Then he'll know what the fuss is about.

You are ours now and there's no going back! We may as well get you both.
