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

We are parents to secondary aged child

No children by choice (This might change in the future but not certain enough to decide yet)

I look after kids, have worked with kids and most of my friends are parents so I like the parenting side of mumsnet as well as the non-parenting specific side.

Pregnant and parent of a toddler but I've been on MN since a couple of years before we started TTC no.1 so definitely people without kids use the site

One at primary and one at secondary.

Parent of a nearly 30 year old
Grandmother to his children

Parent of a child in his early 20's attending university but based at home

Parent of a 20 year old who lives in university accommodation

Parent of a 4 month baby

I’m 31
Single mum of 4 (aged 2, 6, 8 and 10)

Two in their 30s . Joined when DS was born he’s now 20 and theoretically at uni.

We are parents of a 20 and 16yr old.

I'm 38 and have colleagues my age just having DC's now.

I’m somewhere between the first two. We use contraception because we’re not 100% sure on having kids but both agree if I fell pregnant we would be happy.

I use Mumsnet because I love the community here and the fact it’s (almost) all women here.

I came on mumsnet when I was thinking of starting to try for a baby; mumsnet has made me unsure if I 100% want kids tbh.

Two kids, preschool and primary. Will be reception and Y3 in September.

Parent of 1 primary school age DS, 1 secondary age DD and a secondary age DS. Joined after having first baby nearly 14 years ago when a colleague's wife gave me a mumsnet book as a baby present

No kids through choice!

Parent of 29yo lives with boyfriend
21yo at home

Parent of primary aged children and mid 40's. Love Mumsnet for how it helps me adapt to the various life challenges I have been through (been here 10 years). I like to try to help others am part of conversations that don't tend to happen so much in real life (largely because my friends are at demanding life stages and geographically far flung, so limited real life meet ups happening even without covid)

One child and planning on ttc another once married this summer.

Pregnant with my first! Which isn’t on your list but might fall vaguely in the first category?

Parents of 20 plus dd with SLD so won't be any grandchildren.

Parent of 30 and 32 yr old, but I had them young, so still only 51 myself.

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