Perhaps it is my age (56) but there seems to be no end of stories about babies and children constantly dying, the mag needs to be fun not a tearjerker.

I agree nearly every story
I agree nearly every story is about children or young mothers dying and leaving their kids. I cry every time i read it, but it does make you appreciate all that you have and maybe your problems arnt that bad after all, if you have your health and family around you, you are one lucky person. It makes you validate and appreciate all the people around you and go and give your kids a big a hug that you didnt have time for this morning so to speak!!! You dont realise just how much heartache there is in the world so close to home until you read these stories. The only ones i do skip is the weight loss ones cause they all the same fat for years, depressed, gastric band or weight watchers etc then wow new life, great sex life new inner self yeah whatever boring!!! x

re comment on stories

Thanks for your comments. I've taken note of them and I'll make sure we keep an eye on our 'sad' and 'weight' stories. What would you like to see more of? What are your favourite stories?

Hi I am new to this wesite forum, I did stop bying mags a wee while there as they are so full of lovey duvey story's URG!!! pass me a sick bucket. I am a mum of two grt boys I have had my fair share of love. I love to buy all my mags on a Friday for the weekend. However all I ever read is like people have said above heart breaking story's about children dying or love story's. Even all you wee poll and questions are if you had a partner. here is a mag the now from a couple of weeks ago P4-5 dad dying,P7 boy dying,Mum scared but miss's lovemaking ( dont we all!! I have gone longer than her without!!) P 12-13 couple's how they met marrage ect,P22 a mum dying,puzzels P29 " He died and I wasnt there"P 33 love and marrage and again P 40 more wedding photos of a couple where the man lied and cheated( the norm!!) Sorry to moan but the first poster has a point.
