To think it's not weird to post here if you don't have children

[ShutUpShouty]

or planning on having children in the near future?

I know there are lots of people who post here who don't have children (myself included) but I've noticed that whenever someone brings up in a thread that they don't have children someone will jump in to ask "why are you here then?" There have even been a couple of threads wondering why people who don't have children are here.

I know the site is called MUMSnet but I don't think it's weird that people with kids are here. After all you don't have to be a parent to talk about style and beauty, pets, health, weight loss, cooking and recipes and all the other numerous topics that can be talked about here that have nothing to do with children or parenting.

So am I the weird one I wonder...?

Lots of info on here useful for anyone

I don't have DC, would like to one day, but I'm not there yet.

I do however volunteer with a children's charity and am currently trying to encourage a very energetic 12 year old to read when he really doesn't want to and has very little confidence having grown up in various care homes.

MumsNet has been invaluable for advice, I would be lost without it.

I came here when ttcing and stayed for the IVF support.
Still no DC but I like posting in a female friendly environment.
