AIBU to ask: are there many childless people on mumsnet

[ConfusedWife1234]

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.

I'm childless. (I dislike the term 'child-free' because I like children and don't want to be 'free' of them, I just don't have any of my own yet.) I started posting in the Education sections of MN because I was working in a primary school at the time. Then I found AIBU and FWR and I'm still here many years and namechanges later.

TTC but no kids yet!

Child free at the moment hopefully for not too much longer. Medical issues cropped up and delayed plans - there is a chance now it will be always like this but that’s ok too I think.
Came here through work and find it useful/supportive/entertaining. We are also playing an ad hoc care giving role for our hilarious & adorable nephew who has twigged on how much I adore him and has renamed our spare room his extra bedroom!

Happily childfree. When I hand over my Y2 class at 3.15 every afternoon, I give thenaks that I haven't got to start all over again when I get home.

thanks

Childfree by choice, but I came upon MN while looking for good/bad seleb stories and became hooked on AIBU! Tend to look at threads not concerning children unless the topic intrigues me.

I have no children of my own.

I'm child free by choice. No step children, nieces, nephews or friends with children that I've met, either. My interactions with children are limited to returning a smile in public places or talking about my dog in the park if they come over and ask to stroke him.

Very happily child free - am here for the interesting topics that have nothing to do with having children, but I've also gained a lot of insight into what life's like for those who do have kids, and like to think I'm more aware and understanding of their issues than I previously was.

Happily child free but I do have a dog and spend most of my time on the doghouse threads.

Childfree - would like children at some point but not right now, although getting on a bit now so should probably make our minds up.

Child free over here too - so few posts (on the boards I read anyway) are only relevant to parents that I don't see it as an issue. After all, us child free people have families, in laws, neighbours, pets, property and friends too!!

Happily child free here too

Child free by choice and no chance of ever having any (age 50). I joined MN when my cat was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and when I googled it The Litter Tray popped up. Troy is no longer with me .

TTS & I love the chats on here

@TroysMammy sorry to hear that, it's so painful when they go

Childfree by choice, age 54. I came on here originally for something not child related and thought you all seemed a funny sensible bunch.

Child free here. I just like the atmosphere on the boards and the mix of topics that come up each day.

they should have called it womenet or something, I think the forums are the best bit.

Wittow Although, there are some great male regulars on here as well!

No children (other than a dog) but here for the straight talking and the laughs.

No kids here! No plans for 8 or so more years. Just here for the chat, perspective and jokes!

Childfree too. Not really my choice...more I cannot seem to stay in a relationship long enough to make it an option. And I cannot afford to do it alone. 36 now so highly unlikely. But have lots and lots of kids in my family so it's ok.

#childfreeandlovingit! I personally don’t want kids but I love reading all the threads on here. Not all of them apply to parents (World Cup/Love island) so a lot of places for me to watch and comment!
