to join MN when I don't have children?

[silentsigh]

Does pretty much everyone here have children? Is it weird that I've joined but don't?

I haven't got any kids. Lots more to MN, if anything it's been an eye-opener!

Helps if you have an MiL though...

I don't have kids. I joined about 6 years ago. Didn't want them then, don't want them now.

I bloody love mn. Solves a mirage of problems, I have learned shedloads and recommend it to everyone.

No. And whenever I've seen posters suggest that you shouldn't join if you don't have them they've been slaughtered.

Not weird at all. There are lots if topics that don't involve children.

It's worth the subscription charge just for the FB shite threads

I know it's free

YANBU. Tons of us are happily childfree. I'm a refugee from the rest of the internet.

No kids here, I don't even like them very much (confessed that on another thread and almost got crucified!), but I do enjoy Mumsnet - there's a lot more to it than parenting. Actually, I've learned a lot about parenting from here - enough to make me far more sympathetic to the trials and tribulations of people with children than before.

Same here but, in addition, I love my in-laws so def shouldn't be here! I discovered MN via the Stately Homes thread...

My kids are grown and flown
I'm a MiL, a DGM and a BB and I find lots of interesting threads on MN.

Yanbu! I have lots of kids, but don't want to talk/think about them all the time. There is lots of non kid-related stuff on here.

I don't have children. I'd always assumed from its name that MN was purely a parenting website, but when a Google search for some health info took me onto the site, I discovered there are plenty of threads here for the child-free person to enjoy.

Recommended by a friend who also has no kids. I like the AIBU vipers

I've only seen it being an issue on 'I Hate Children' comments or threads, when baffled people ask 'then why are you on a parenting forum?'

Not at all. Plenty of people here who aren't mums

YANBU. Childless folk are very welcome here!

There's tons of stuff on here, it's not all parenting.

Chottie - whats a BB?

No children here either. I joined for the Christmas section. I also use the weightloss chat a lot and AIBU? The only downside is that I come on here too much! lol

Should that smilie have been ?

I don't have children or a MIL anymore so not sure I belong! But I'm a step mother so I'm sure there's something I've done wrong even though my step children are the same age and older than me!

I've spent hours reading through some of the really funny threads here - Mexican house thief, Pom bears, penguin bollards. I've learnt what happens when you go for a personal waxing and I'm still not brave enough, I reminisced about the programmes I used to watch in the 70s, laughed at the stupid things people have done (and nodded my head along with some of them) and felt incredible empathy for people going through a shit time. It's a great site for anyone.

I've seen quite a few posts from childfree people (some who never want children). Lots of the sections don't have much to do with kids (weight loss etc.).

I have two, you can have them weekends, I'm kind like that!

I don't have children either. I have found MN helpful in many areas, in particular in teaching me how to say 'No' to people!

No, that doesn't work for me.

My new favourite answer to difficult people.
