to get slightly annoyed on MN at times by the general "perfectness" that is being displayed

[emkana]

Reading through threads I get a bit fed up sometimes because it seems that everybody on MN seems to have the oh so perfect life - a rich and varied social life, a fantastic relationship with dh/dp with meaningful conversations over a bottle of wine several nights a week, plenty of stimulating activities with the children, fresh, organic, healthy food of course, reading high-quality books...

and so on and so on...

am I just in a bad mood today?

vvv I'll punch anybody who pees on your parade

Life is far from fun here at the mo..

i think yhou get bragging wherever you go and it does get boring, but then so does too much depression.
that perfect school lunch box last night was a laugh, talk about oneupmanship

Emkana: There's a post today from a mum so depressed she wants to kill her baby and herself. There've been posts from anorexics, bulimics, alcoholics, women who've been battered and betrayed. There are the broke, the bored, the demented, those with no sex drive, those whose children drive them to despair.

And a few whose children could read at birth. Open your eyes girl - all human life is here.

Back off mamaflowers, I'm the anti-piss patrol tonight

I read Mumsnet and see lots of people having really shit times and it's hard to read every single post or you find yourself dragged down too, which is why when my dh got a permanent job I thought I'd share that with MN as I'd shared my downs.

I also like reading good news and light hearted threads on here because it detracts from the sadness.

Well, they are a little.

I've had the best weekend ever, all thanks to my gorgeous DP, who I am going to marry and am currently very excited with planning wedding for. I love him very much - I am very lucky. My children are fabulous too, from laughing at DS who likes to wear knickers on his head and count only in odd numbers and DD who wrote "Mum" properly on her own for the first time this weekend on my card, and who does silly things and then says "i'm funny mummy in I?" Life is sweet for me right now.

So brag brag braggy brag brag to all of you miserable feckers.

I just want an excuse for a fight wb

well, if I'm honest, life is far from fun here too.....

But you still try your best. And I don't expect everyone else to talk in husshed wispers because I'm haveing some shit to deal with.

A little light hearted relief from MN is what gets me through some days.

Aha!! It is you!

Put on your anti-piss patrol jacket on and join me.

That's brill VVVQV!

Now why can't reading other people's good news cheer you up emkana?

and thank you mamaflowers and boris.

And sorry rhubarb for earlier.

I guess I just have tunnel vision today.

And am clicking on the "wrong" threads.

I am pleased for all of you who are enjoying life, I really am.

And I'm sorry for those who are having a hard time.

Me, I'm probably like the majority somewhere inbetween...

No swear mi dear, I should have left it too, I just don't like being "told off" as it where and I got frustrated when I didn't know what for!

All done and dusted though.

chuckle vision chuckle chuckle vision

No sweat sorry!

Oh tunnel vision

to me, to you

btw I never said I don't find good news shared something to smile about.

oh tunnel vision

Let's have a group hug then.

Wasn't the little one a right perv?

Touching up mothers in lay bys?

Or was that Timmy Mallet?

Agree with VVQ, Rhubarb etc.

I have plenty of breakdowns on here about DD1, my sister and so on.

But am happier when sharing the good bits of my life. I could bang on about the crap all day, but it's not really in me to be that way. I'm a count my blessigns type of girl and I have many. I always try and find the good out of something bad. And I do have shit to deal with, every day, never any escape from most of it, so if I want to brag about never giving my DD a sweet than I bloody well will!

So that's that then! Big hug apart from me who has a private bubble that no-one is allowed to enter.

All is sweet again in the fickle world of Mumsnet!
