  • 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.....

Have I missed something? Is this in mainstream news?

It was all over the place a few days ago!

Parents of one teen still at home and also older ones (mid - late 20s) who have all left home.

No kids through choice (haven't completely ruled it out but I don't think so) but have a 17yo stepson.

babyt2020 · 28/03/2021 16:53

A 9 month old and 6 months pregnant 🤣

Beetlewing · 28/03/2021 16:55

One in his 30s
One in their 20's
One 10
And one 8
The 30s has just moved back in with us.
The 20s is the least trouble at the moment but I always expect the unexpected. Nobody tells you about this bit when you have babies!

Juicyoranges · 28/03/2021 16:55

@Shehasadiamondinthesky crikey!!
But yes my 20/30s children will probably not have their own because of not wanting to bring children into this frightening world.

mamaduckbone · 28/03/2021 16:55

2 dcs both at secondary school. I've been on mumsnet since ds1 was 2.

@AlrightTreacle

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.
Oh dear !!
