AIBU

to think it's remarkable how little traffic there is on the AIBU board here compared to mumsnet...

Mumsnet refugee here, having a browse to while away a spot of insomnia. It's just struck me as now noticeable that the "am I being unreasonable?" board has very few threads that have been added to in the last 48 hours.

On mumsnet AIBU is one of the busiest parts of the site, loads of threads started for people to express their emotions on their latest frustration in their lives, loads of people willing to weigh in and give their advice and opinions and/or tell the op to woman-up and stop being a drama queen.

So, do gransnetters have fewer difficult situations in their lives to deal with than mumsnetters? Or do they have fewer doubts about whether they are being unreasonable? Or are they just less willing to share their frustrations with the forum?

Whenever I pop over to Mumsnet to see what the young ones are up to, I always head straight for AIBU because it is so entertaining and lively.

I think it's one of the perks of old age to be unreasonable from time to time, after a lifetime of keeping the peace! We still have as many frustrations and problems, but different ones and perhaps more time to calm down as there are no children demanding our immediate attention.
I'm very envious, Ariadne, it sounds lovely. Have a good evening.
