Don't you ever think of magazines as a little bit of escapism from the realities and nitty gritty of day to day life?
I like looking at expensive fashions (I can't afford them, but I can pick up on trends and get new ideas). I like simple easy recipes, I can cook complicated recipes, but I don't have the time or energy except for special occasions.
When I read about other people's lives, it is exactly that 'other people's lives' and not mine. My personal life is probably quite similar to a lot of other forumers, born, grew up, married, children, work etc. Ok to date I haven't done anything particularly earth shattering, but I would like to think that I have been a loving and caring parent, wife, friend, neighbour and colleague.
We can't all be famous and rich, I am not sure I would like to be actually. I am very content in my own skin and compared with lots of people my life has very good. I was born to parents who loved each other and my sister and I. I have tried to pass this on to my children.
This is getting rather deep and is definitely going off the thread (W&H may move it again!!) but I think what I am trying to say is that W&H is just a magazine. If it doesn't suit you just buy another, there are loads to choose from. But, and it is a BIG but don't leave the forum, we need lots of people with different ideas and views to keep it fresh and vibrant.
