To ask how long have you been on MN?

[Z0rr0]

I joined MN probably about 15 years ago when my first was born and it helped me loads then and through two subsequent miscarriages.
I was MsMummy then.
I drifted away and recently came back to ask for parents' insights into something I was researching but couldn't remember my login so had to set up a new account.
Since coming back FWR has been a bloody godsend. A lifeline in all the madness.
But it's also been really wonderful to see names of people still here who were active members and gave me advice when I first joined all those years ago.
That was it really. Just wanted to wave at the long-timers and say Hi. And thanks for being fabulous.

I never changed my name much as l don't post outing details

7 years I think. I don't start threads and don't feel the urge to name change yet.

I don't know, probably about 8 years. Used to be on babyworld and had a lot of support and made friends on there. This is different for me. I prefer it to be very anonymous. I like to read for a laugh, and for a bit of moral outrage, and to get opinions on everything.

Mid-2011 when I was pregnant. One name change. I've started a couple of threads - one when we adopted our super-scared dog. I don't post as much as I used to, I read much much more. I've made some lovely new friends since lockdown from the What's Happening in Spain thread and we speak off-MN.

I was involved in the Christmas present swap/donation thing for a couple of years, I miss that.

Just over 8 years, though I lurked a bit for a while before that.

About 11 years, I have about 6 names which I swop around and rarely start threads apart from in the telly forums sometimes

Not sure about 12/14 years I think. My kids were small and now off to uni/college !!!

15 yrs, just after ex DH left. DC was 3.

Ten years almost to the day with one name change
I came across it and joined a quite long running thread on Relationships called Dumplings No More ( been dumped by your DH) It really was a life saver , had a few meet ups and made an amazing friend who I still see regularly.

20 years

I emigrated over from 'the other site' it was all a bit hun and dont worry babe, you got this, plus they had a swear filter! The fuckers just before screaming in the Scistene Chapel whenever that was.

16 years.

Or around 3 years too long to be brutally honest.

15 years when my son was 4

When I was pregnant with DS3 so nearly 10 years.

Must be coming up to 19 years - discovered it not too long after having DS1!

About 10 years

Ahh, thanks everyone. Amazing to see how MN has been a part of people's lives for so long!

Since ‘twas all fields around here.

About 13 years. Has been both informative and entertaining over the years!
At the time when I first came in I’m sure I watched a tv show with Justine (founder) where they helped people out with parenting tips...no idea what it was or whether in fact I dreamt it 😂

About 14 years. Found the site whilst looking for conception/infertility advice and it will always be in my heart as my first ever positive pregnancy test was with free clearblue digital pregnancy test MN was trialling at the time. Started a thread because I thought maybe they were faulty that pregnancy resulted in Ds who is 11 now.

@MiniDoofa I know the program your on about and it was definitely real I remember one of the parents doing early weaning on one episode and thinking how in Mumsnet

About 12 years, on and off.

*how unmumsnet

18 years. Day in, day out.

I vaguely remember that show too...
