AIBU to ask: are there many childless people on mumsnet

I do have children but I often write about things not having to do with kids here and I have seen several people writing that they have no kids here. I just wonder how many people of mumsnet are kidsfree.

No children here! Though I’ve just found out that I’m expexting

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 18/07/2018 19:18

I'm childless. I heard about Mumsnet but never looked, because I'm not a Mum. I came across one of those many articles that end up on newspaper websites, discovered AIBU and I'm hooked!

Happily child free Smile

Single, no kids. Came on for the awesome gardening thread and drift a bit to other threads sometimes.

Congrats Lolarola 😀

Child free through choice but have two step children and came here for advice on how to deal with it! Mostly get shit for being a step mum though.

RadioDorothy · 18/07/2018 19:23

Child free by choice, I'm just here for the gazillions of funny and interesting threads that are not about being a parent.

ConfusedWife1234 · 18/07/2018 19:23

Why? Step mums rule! Flowers

Very happily child free, I just like the threads. Although I have two nephews I see quite often so I can pick up tips here...

Childlessstepmum15 · 18/07/2018 19:25

Haha thanks confused, I think so too, but sometimes get a tough ride. Too much care you’re interfering, not enough you’re a cold heartless bitch who should leave them immediately.

trinity0097 · 18/07/2018 19:26

No kids.

The people on here tend to be of a similar age to me, and the general chit chat stuff is what I come for

RoseWhiteTips · 18/07/2018 19:26

I think you mean “child free”, OP. Some people make a choice.

CrispbuttyNo1 · 18/07/2018 19:26

No kids here.. I work with them though... that’s plenty for me 😂

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 18/07/2018 19:26

Child free by choice and I originally joined Mumsnet for The Litter Tray.

Sarahlou63 · 18/07/2018 19:27

No children but lots of animals!

Shootfirstaskquestionslater · 18/07/2018 19:27

Child free here too although I am trying. I first came here for advice a few years ago and I’m still here I like the AIBU page.

learntoletgo · 18/07/2018 19:46

I might think about kids when I stop feeling like a child myself. Grin

Chesntoots · 18/07/2018 19:48

Very happily childfree!!

jemmstar1980 · 18/07/2018 19:50

Childfree by choice Smile

seventhgonickname · 18/07/2018 19:52

I do have a child but joined because my marriage was deteriorating and I needed to know I was not alone and gain from others strength going through what I knew was inevitable.And to get up the courage.

Lexjo · 18/07/2018 19:54

Single and no kids. I like the atmosphere on here - mainly straight talking women, which I think is cool. I like style and beauty, relationships and AIBU boards the best.

SerenDippitty · 18/07/2018 19:54

Childless not originally by choice - couldn’t conceive. But it’s not such a bad life.

Luglio · 18/07/2018 19:54

Blissfully childfree. I'm here for the lols.

LanguidLobster · 18/07/2018 19:55

I don't have children, I would have liked to but ex was a gaslighter and abusive and I became more and more hesitant and unsure of myself, so didn't go ahead. Arguments increased.

If we'd tried and had been able to I would have wanted them to have a nice, stable life.

user1467976192 · 18/07/2018 19:56

Same as childless step mum... these days I stay near the litter tray. Cat people are nicer than some of the people on the step parents forum
