How long have you been on MN?

[TheChosenTwo]

And what brought you here? My youngest has just turned 10 which reminded me I found MN when heavily pregnant as suffering agonising SPD with him. I was directed to the Bounty forums by my midwife, then NM was mentioned on there and MN on there. So it was a chain reaction that led me here!
I’m glad it did, I’ve found it a useful hive of information but I can’t believe i’m still here 10 years later

13 years, under various guises. I came on here asking whether to get married. I think the answer was be careful. I did marry him, it turned out great (so far...)

15 years!

I'd say about 2006 on and off with lots of name changes

@CruellaDeVilla Sorry to be naïve but what is anti-CLB pls?

I used Gina Ford with my babies and it bloody worked! They're all great sleepers as a result of her eating/feeding routines and we had a really structured, pleasant time with them as babies and toddlers because none of us were particularly sleep deprived or hungry.

About 15 years. From when I was TTC my first baby.

@Almostmenopausal contented little baby.

13 years. 3 name changes.

I remember clearly googling something and a link popped up for a thread running on Mumsnet AIBU about taking a pair of trousers back to M&S. I clicked on it, it was an amusing bunfight, and i was hooked

Since 2004 i was heavily pregnant and searching for names.

@Fordian yes, I remember that well! Gosh it was a strange old time.

Coming up to 11 years.

Someone on another website posted a link to AIBU to show how batshit they thought MNetters were

I immediately found my people

2004. I bought the Mumsnet guide to babies when I was pregnant with ds and came here when I was struggling with feeding. Few name changes. The odd flounce. A lot of life changes. It's odd looking back.

14yrs.

13 years I think. Maybe 12. I lurked before that but wasn't brave enough to join. Eventually something propelled me into it and I was promptly and correctly told off for the advice I'd given. I took that on the chin and am still here after many name changes.

7 years as a regular but I dipped in and out for a couple of years before that.

2009... around the time of the mouldies debacle and 'she who must not be named'

I have name-changed many times.

since I’ve been here I’ve never looked at specific parenting topics and hardly ever open any thread to do with kids!

I think, until I looked at MN, I had some vague notion that it would be full of people gushing over their children or discussing in minute detail what brand of nappies to buy.

Which, with hindsight, was very dim of me - the parents I know IRL, of course, chat about the same general random stuff that I do.

2010 just after the birth of DS

Googled lochia and found you lot 😀

2003, same name throughout. Do I get 🏆 🏅?

Off and on since around 2012.

12 years or so.

About four years. I'm a Yank, so I wasn't aware of it until I read a brief article about it in The Economist

I've always been interested in British culture and DH lived in London before we met, so I was curious to learn more. I really hope we can visit the UK at some point.

7 years. Wish I'd found it much earlier

About 10 years, can't remember why or how.

But liked the swearing and wit and sharing of knowledge.

Two threads that really hooked me were MrsDeVere's NDN's gymbalow and SarahStratton's raven in her dining room
