AIBU for being a gay guy who has read this forum for ages, loves it, doesn't have a child, and yet still joined

[HoveringKestrel]

I don't want to impose on Parents space, but a lot of my friends have said...."someone has just said on mumsnet something you said the other day" and "you need tto join mumsnet", "you'll love people who are mumsnet"

I wanted to join. I really like it andd I'm level headed.

Am I encrouching on you?

[SanityClause]

As you're American, Scone, shouldn't your name be something like BiscuitRhymesWithBrisket? Or have I been misinformed?

[HolyFocaccia]

YANBU. Welcome

I dont share with just anybody you know
i have usually drunk it all

[HoveringKestrel]

sigh I know, I know, the spelling mistakes

[mrscumberbatch]

I quite like that people who aren't parenty types want to join...
Makes me feel slightly less like a boring mum-type.

[TheDoctrineOfSnatch]

YANBU.

Kim, YABU. Just because...

[HoveringKestrel]

Just so you all know, I LOVE this website. I think theres a lot to be said for a site which is fundamentally helpful to other people and constructive, I couldn't NOT be a part of it.

[SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly]

I love none parents! Lets me pretend I'm still a carefree 22 year whose only responsibilities are having money for a taxi home! When in reality I'm a mother of a threenager and I have no social life.

[notsoyoniface]

I have no children. I love this site, and have had wonderful support at times.

Welcome to the vipers nest

[nenevomito]

loads of folk on here without kids. I have them and hardly darken the doors of the parenting topic anyway

[HoveringKestrel]

Haha thanks Clara, I'm not a twunk, I just wasn't sure about the policy about non parents because that is how this website advertises. I wanted to be apart of it because it is sometimes hilarious and sometimes SO helpful and nice, it should have it's own advert.

[BoulevardOfBrokenSleep]

Nah, post away. I'm under no illusion that having squeezed a small person out of my vagina makes my opinion more interesting than anyone else's.

Good name choice BTW, I'm a big fan of raptors.
Maybe slightly sinister I suppose. HoveringVulture would be worse though...

[SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly]

Baby Same here! I'd rather talk about non parenting things Talking random shit threads are the best

[WorraLiberty]

Welcome Hovering

There are lots of non parents here and anyway, how could MNHQ police it if it was against their policy?

I'd be tempted to dump my kids on MN Towers' doorstep

[SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly]

Worra And where have you been?!

SanityClause

That will be my next name.

I am American but lived in Scotland for a while. Ever since scones became popular in the US several years ago, I have been on a one woman mission to get people in the US to pronounce the word correctly. Sadly, I am failing.

Oh, and welcome to mumsnet, OP.

[BollyGood]

Mumsnet is a bit like a pub but with virtual wine.

[HoveringKestrel]

Nice one Clara, you're right, thanks :)

[UniqueAndAmazing]

everyone's fair game.


and the only real rules are
no personal attacks and
aibu is a bunfight, wear armour.

[BollyGood]

kestrel I think mumsnet attracts all different kinds of people. My 21 year old daughter is also gay and doesn't have any children yet, she loves the wit on here and the politics threads.

[HoneyDragon]

It's ok. You are not the only gay childless guy. A friend of mine likes to lurk around the gardening boards

Eventually Mnet drags everyone into the vortex.

Welcome ..... You know you can never leave now, right?

[BollyGood]

[monkeyfacegrace]

Are you a really sexy, toned, dark haired gorgeous gay person though?

All the best men are gay. Fuckers.

[MardyBra]

I recommended MN to a male gay friend recently.

In fact, are you my friend...?

[SoleSource]

Yabu, have a
