I see posters saying they don't have any children, or want any. So if you aren't a parent, pregnant or TTC, why are you here on mumsnet?🤔

I suppose I come here just because it’s a good forum and one of the biggest so lots of subjects and traffic.

I’m also a man shock horror. Hopefully reading some stuff makes me a better one also but not on an intelligence gathering mission.

I avoid the baby stuff but do comment quite a bit in AIBU and relationships. Particularly like the feminist board as this seems one of the few places where the trans madness is allowed to be discussed. Suppose I could go on a male dominated forum but they’re not as big as Mumsnet and most men don’t give a stuff about the trans stuff mainly due to not being aware of it and less affected. Sadly for women

@hopityhopity I came here when TTC. All my miscarriages later I don’t be have kids. But I like the other threads. Should MNHQ have a time limit or kick people off a public forum?

Maybe you are my SIL who thinks it’s hilarious that I’m on MN when I don’t have kids and she laughs to family members when telling them so

No need to wonder lots of posts to explain

....at least everyone would know why you are here 'MummyofTw0'

MN really needs to explain, in words of one syllable, on their home page, that it is not a requirement to be a female parent to join.

And I'm so enthusiast about the idea that I posted it twice Grin

They really, really need to explain it!

That'd be nice. They won't, though.

I think MummyofTw0 might have answered the OP without reading the thread.
