Where are we all at in life?

[Flowers24]

I am interested to see often on posts people at different stages of life as as parents, which one are you?

• no kids but ttc

- no kids by choice (not sure if no kids by choice people come on MN!)

• parents of babies and toddlers
• parents of primary school age
• parents of secondary and college age, uni age 18-21
• parents of 20 somethings
• parents of 30 and above
• parents of mixed ages

Probably missed something out but you get the jist.....

Me...parents of teen so secondary, college and uni age

Primary school

So mixed ages !

Stage 5.

One in primary and one in secondary. Youngest starts secondary in September.

Parent of 2 primary age children. One in last year of primary

(not sure if no kids by choice people come on MN!

No kids through choice. Love Mumsnet

No kids by choice up to this point. Thinking of TTC next year. (9year relationship, married 4.5years, aged 31)

2 dc in secondary, 2 dc in primary 3

Thats nice that people come on with no kids by choice and love MN, didnt mean to sound weird about that , just genuinely interested :)

I have 2 preschoolers

3yo and TTC

3 DC and 1 DSC, all secondary aged. Youngest in first year of secondary.

I love their increasing independence and the fact that we're not so tied to a strict routine but also have the occasional sad moment when I miss having a little one.

Secondary age. I see them at feeding times. I miss them.

Toddler, currently ttc number 2

Have you missed all the "what are people with no children doing on this site" threads?

Parent of a toddler and pregnant. Feeling old for this stage (40) and tired but apart of that is to do with lockdown lethargy I think! On the plus side, career and finances are good and fingers crossed won’t be too derailed by a second baby if it does happen.

No kids. No plans to have them either.

Parent of twins in last year of primary. Early 40s.

I chose not to have DC too.

Toddler - trying to see if I can return her to the stalk and go back to child free by choice

No kids through choice.

And I use MN because whilst many people here might be parents, for most people it’s not the sun total of their existence and they have opinions and experiences to share about all kinds of other things which interest them, making it a decent forum.

Pregnant with my first!

No kids, not originally by choice, long past childbearing age

There are loads of childfree Mumsnetters, the parenting-based forums are just a fraction of the site.

I have one 7 year old son. He's awesome but for various reasons, he will be my only.

I'm 34.
