To want a thread today

[Confusedbeetle]

That says my DIL is great, my MIL is great, my parents did their best bringing me up, I dont resent people who have what I havent, spring is glorious, My children are great and doing a great job parenting. That says " thats an interesting viewpoint" instead of being rude. Often MN can be a bit like reading the Daily M, you read it to get wound up. I know loads of people are having a shit time and I am lucky (never take it for granted) Generally in life people are kind, thoughtful good people. An alien reading MN might think we have all gone to the dogs.
Hoping you all have a tranquil and happy easter

Oh and one that says whether you voted leave or remain I am sure you did it for the right reasons

I love my daughter-in-law, she's a fabulous mother to her two sons, she's the most positive person I've ever met and she and my son seem really happy.

I love my MIL to bits and my parents are great. But I don’t think it’s fair to minimise the genuine pain others feel as a result of uncaring, abusive or overbearing family members. Not every parent does their best. Not every MIL is well meaning.

I appreciate that’s not what you want from this thread though!

I adore my cats, everything else is for the birds.

I'm sure that's true for lots of people but it doesn't make for an AIBU topic.
AIBU, my life is great?
If course you'd get the impression everyone is dysfunctional if you base it on the threads here.

I love my MIL she's amazing. My kids are fab even if they do have their moments. I'm a SAHM and I don't hate it. I had a great childhood. DH is great and I love him so much but he does drive me crazy sometimes which is normal.

I'm a wonderful dil and I'm doing a fab job my best with my DC

Oh wait, I'm meant to be tooting someone else's trumpet. My mil is wonderful. She signs off texts 'Mum Loco' and I love it. I have a lovely mum already but why wouldn't I want 2 of them?!

Yes, you are all right. My AIBU is to want a positive thread. It's not AIBU my life is great! I really don't minimise people who are having a bad time. People need to sound off when things are going badly, and there are some positive posters who give a lot of support. That's all good.
I think sometimes negative brings negative, and nastiness just has no place for me. It doesn't help people who are having a bad time. There is that odd psychological trick that if you force your face into a smile there are changes in your brain. Not the Have a nice day stuff but supermarket cashiers who are cheerful. I guess I am rambling, we really do need to give support to those in trouble, but let's also give a thumbs up to the things that cheer us up. Many of us have positives and in that way, MN discussions can be not only a place to let off steam but happy healthy discussion. Thanks to those who posted good news

Love it Coco
