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!

LadyBeagle · 18/11/2012 23:06

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.

Never thought of coming here via google, I guess I just didn't really think hard enough. :)

No stunt girl that is just not good enough Wink

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

MN can be more interesting than the TV.

You are quite new, TBC ?

You are forgiven. We all post a bit of a daft thread when we are new. The we learn Smile

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

AnyFucker · 18/11/2012 23:13

gtfo ?

TheDarkestNight · 18/11/2012 23:17

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.

FarelyKnuts · 18/11/2012 23:18

Gtfo- get the fuck out/off?

FarelyKnuts · 18/11/2012 23:18

Oops not quick enough :o

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.

AnyFucker · 18/11/2012 23:19

ah, I see

I don't use "male dominated" anything tbh

and if I see it, I callit...so doubt I would be welcome around those parts

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

AnyFucker · 18/11/2012 23:21

You can stay, bauble Smile

LivingInAPinkBauble · 18/11/2012 23:23

AnyFucker · 18/11/2012 23:24

expatinscotland · 18/11/2012 23:26
