I find mumsnet really helpful and a good resource is it normal to log on and o mumsnet 3/4 times a week?

What a strange question. I can’t even think of an answer.
Just do what you want?

Idontthinkicandothisanymore · 19/02/2026 22:53

I’m on it everyday

TheTortiePuffinNeedsHerBreakfast · 19/02/2026 22:55

I go in phases. I might be on it twice a day for a few weeks, but then not at all for a month.

I’m on it multiple times a day

Lonelycrab · 19/02/2026 23:07

5/6 times a week is the sweet spot.

Trust me on this!

pizzaHeart · 19/02/2026 23:08

I don’t think it’s normal, not. I’m doing it first thing at the morning, several times a day and last time at bedtime.

UTTERLY UNREASONABLE

Ohhhthedrama · 19/02/2026 23:16

Officially you're allowed on twice a week. You can ask for an extension but it's not always granted.

Thinking i’ve probably posted in the wrong section 🤪

ok I will ask, why would you be unreasonable?

ClassicalQueen · 19/02/2026 23:26

You are being unreasonable for asking.

MrsGingerNut · 19/02/2026 23:33

I use it to help me sleep. Few threads then I’m done

PickAChew · 19/02/2026 23:36

Never go near the place.

tobee · 19/02/2026 23:51

I go on it many times a day but then I’m a massive loser with no life or personality.

I’m not sure what you’re wanting from your question as everyone’s different. Some weeks I’m on every day, other times I’m not on here for weeks on end, if I get fed up of being online I sometimes don't come on for months.

There's not much to be intrigued about, single people use the site, step mums use the site, dads use the site….

Just on AIBU alone, they are dozens of threads that have nothing to do with children/parenting - it's like Reddit but easier to use 😳.

This is a bit like the how often do you have sex question innit

JaneGrint · 20/02/2026 00:15

And you’re asking this question here on mumsnet? 🤣

I’d put money on your mumsnet usage being within the normal range for mumsnet users 🤷‍♀️

But I think you’re asking in the wrong place if you genuinely want to know whether logging onto mumsnet 3 - 4 times a week is normal among any segment of the population as a whole, because the people who never (or even hardly ever) use mumsnet are unlikely to see this 🤷‍♀️
