Parents of some variation, ie grandparents, step, those TTC etc
Or say, nannys and jobs such as those.

Not that they shouldn't be, just intrigued why you might be?

Because I like talking about crap tv shows I'm addicted to and wouldn't dare tell my rl friends!

I have a 17 year old ds, who I mention in passing, but MN is so much more than parenting.
I never go on any of the parenting topics, I go on to have a laugh.

I teach. I find it useful to try and see things from the other side.

MN can be more interesting than the TV.

Very few places on the internet are so full of intelligent, funny and honest women. It's a nice antidote to the whole 'tits or GTFO' attitude of many forums (fora?). It's hilarious.

Hi OP I actually agree with you never would it occur to me to log onto mum set if I didn't have kids. Not saying people can't but I just wouldn't

Get The Fuck Out. The reaction of people on certain male-dominated sites, on discovering that someone is female. They want to see pictures. Pleasant, it aint.

It takes a village to rase a child, the more people who are interested and informed on the wellbeing of the future generations the better for everyone in society.

I don't use "male dominated" anything tbh

I have no children yet but DH and I would like to start ttc in the not too distant future. I am learning a lot about babies through being on here. I originally joined through my job as a primary teacher, interesting to see parent perspectives, but there is also a staff room topic I found to my surprise earlier today. I love the wit and funny threads and it is the only site to my limited knowledge that covers such a wide variety of people and topics.
Mumsnet I luffs you
