How old are you and how long have you been on Mumsnet?

[Memba]

I'll start... I'm 51 and I've been here 15 years.

I was thinking recently that Mumsnet has got older but maybe that's because I hang about in different corners (Higher Education instead of Pregnancy for example!) or click on threads that are relevant to my life now (pensions anyone?). I love the wide range of life experiences shared in general Chat and even AIBU.

I still remember my first thread when I was pregnant with DD2. Her nuchal scan showed a high risk of Down's and a friend suggested I hop onto Mumsnet for some advice. I was absolutely blown away by the kindness and support I received.

I know some topics can get a bit heated but I do hope newbies today get similarly warm reception.

How long have you been knocking around?

59, been on MN 21 years.

52. Not sure, but I think I've been here about 17 years. I de-registered at one point but came crawling back!

Was on mumsnet daily for years when my children were younger. Stepped away, came back years later to find it swarming with transphobes and Conservatives. It's not lovely.

64, and about 2 years

36/7

Definitely been a game changer. Life would have worked out very differently if I'd had access to so many helpful views earlier on!

I think MN seems old too but probably because I don't have a baby now, so am not on TTC, pregnancy, baby feeding/sleeping/toddler boards.

I’m 37 and I’ve been here 11/12 years.

56 and 21 years!
Have had a few name changes.

I'm 45, been here for 22 years since I was pregnant with dd1.

🙄

54. Bin in about 2yrs. Mate recommended it for reviews of products or goods. Helping me through a difficult patch. Wish I'd known about it during lockdowns

I am 48 been here 19 years.

52 and since my first pregnancy, so 2003 😳

I'm 29, joined when I first got pregnant 7 years ago

58. Joined about 5 years ago . Hadn’t heard of MN until sons friend told me his Mum was a moderator on MN . Only joined because GC due and wanted to work out how parents tick these days. A real eye opener . Name change fairly often .

I've been here for a long time, but can't find a way to asscertain whenI joined.

(And I am v.v.v.old)

I remember your earlier name😊

Hi , have you name changed?

I'm 51 and joined when dd was a few months old. She's now 22 so been here for over 21 years.

I'm 53. I joined Mumsnet 2 weeks after my ds was born, and he was 22 this week.

My registration number is in the 3000s. I've had 4 user names and yet never get mentioned as one of the old guard. Luckily wasn't well enough known to be a mouldie.

I still love it here.

27, about 6 years.

@Nellieinthebarn that's lovely to read- was an absolute godsend during lockdown I found. !

I am 46. I joined in May 2014 so 10 years this year and I often think how I wished I’d found it sooner!

was going through the hell of a secondary school appeal for my then 11 year old ds and whilst doing some Googling I found MN. Ds is 21 in a few weeks and time has just flown so fast.

I absolutely love MN and it has helped me so much over the years.

43 think first posted in 2010. Dip in and out but more recently again as finding myself at home due to ill health. Still recognise some older posters which is nice.

59. Not sure exactly when I joined but it was probably 2002/3?

Age 33 here. Joined when I was pregnant aged 30, also looking for pregnancy advice! Same thing with a slightly higher than average nuchal fold, then pregnancy bleeding! Helped to keep me calm when i was anxious and expecting (DS has just turned 2!)
