being a mumsnet member with no children

[twosugarspls]

.. and no desire to have children. i occasionally see people posting that have no children and admit they don't want children, i thought mumsnet was for mums.. or people trying to conceive? or am i missing the point

I'm not a parent and have no desire to be. I'm a teacher and many aspects of parenting interest me. Children of my own though? Eurgh, no thanks!
I love Sporners' Corner... (shame.)

@EmpressOfJurisfiction the feminism board fries my brain🙈 im trying to get up to date with all the sayings, still have no clue what 'peaking' is though!

Oh well off I go, infertility fucking me over again!

Exactly.

If I want to know something, about any subject, I'm more likely to MN it before I Google it.

@Passmethecakeplease it wasn't meant in a bad/sarcastic way there doesnt seem to be many emojis to choose from so i chose that as a kind of asking a question face if you see what i mean???

I have to admit I thought the same thing - I had never been on or desired to look at mums etc prior to having my daughter simply because I thought ‘it wasn’t a place for me’ And then after my daughter I came here seeking advice from other parents about my daughter that I felt needed a wider perception over immediate family oppionions and THEN I found all these wonderful threads completely unrelated to children and actually the threads in the litter tray and feminism kept me sane during the early weeks of my daughter because they were completely not child related, it’s a place for all people to communicate! :)

Yes, you are missing the point.

@NewYearNiki really wasn't my intention don't think i'll post again lol, i'll just read others posts

I found it by googling something then I noticed several things I googled led me here. Been here about 6 years!

Fluffyears take no notice

To be honest, if you come here before having kids there’s enough threads about the stresses of them to put you off ever wanting them!

@ChestyNutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire take no notice? i wasn't being mean i was asking a question

^ 100%

How goady can you get...

I didn't know you has to be a parent to talk about tv, dogs, cats, food, religion etc etc etc

Thank you chesty.

haven't meant to offend anyone

Post away OP. The AIBU threads can be a bit brusque, it's nothing personal.

twosugars, you're ok, just relax & enjoy the site.

This thread for instance. You don't need to have kids to argue about what kind of fan to use when fighting a person carrying a chicken.

I’m childfree and love this site :) Some bloody brilliant threads on here!

Do you need kids to use a penis beaker should be the real question?

Don’t have kids, don’t want kids, love mumsnet. I’m mostly a lurker but it’s a great forum.

Also, all roads lead here - you google anything and there’ll be a mumsnet thread on it.

I work with Kids I’ve potty trained over 200 kids. Obvious with me not been a parent and all I have no advice to offer a parent who’s never done it or done it the once.

Where else can you chat on such a wide range of subjects? It still annoys me when surveys and the like are only for parents when I spent a lot of money buying toys clothes activists for children over the year. They just aren’t mine but family or friends. My opinion obvious dosnt count.

This site is my go to for advice and opinions. I love it for it's diversity. Always had a real mixture of responses to my posts
