Just intrigued to know as I’m 26 and feel like when reading threads and comments I may be a younger user?

33, been on here since I was pregnant with DS who is now 8.

Snap!

I've been on and off and had a few name changes because I like to spice it up.

First thread I joined was the support one for my month I was due to give birth to DS.

Been around for about 12 years on and off. It’s changed a lot in that time.

I know people always say that, but it really has. Would be so fun to sit with an old timer and reminisce, I was always a lurky coward then tho haha.

I’m 52 and have been around here for 18 years.

Mid 50s. Been using this site around 20 years I reckon. Others are right, it has changed so much.

I’m 46 and don’t have kids. About two years ago I googled Fibroids and ended up here.

Am 59 .Only joined 3years ago when my daughter was pregnant to get a feel about how Mums/ Dads approach parenting! A massive eye opener and agree and disagree 50/50 about parenting nowadays!

I'm 40 and have been on here for 13 year under various names.

Interesting! How do you feel parenting has changed from back in the day to nowadays?

MadameDefargeinme · 21/01/2023 22:01

72 but I like Mumsnet much better than Gransnet - threads are more interesting to me.

Show quote history

Definitely think that parents are probably more engaged with their children ie more interest with their milestones etc but the downside is that parents are more anxious,competitive etc .

I'm early 50's- joined when 4 yr old DS got chicken pox and wanted advice on what to do for him! - he is 21 this year so I've been hanging around for a few years. I only lurked for the first 10 years or so and don't post that much but read a lot!

I was also thinking the other day that the average mums better age is getting older. The mumsnet generation has all growed up…
