So is it ok to talk about our families?

[SamboM]

Strange topic I know as this is obviously what we do on mumsnet a lot of the time.

I noticed that in all the discussions about "old" and "new" mumsnetters, several people said that they used to feel that they knew people better and discuss families by name etc.

I am relatively new here (a couple of months) and I just assumed that it was not done for whatever reason (privacy, stalkers etc?!) Am I wrong? I would love to know more about people eg names and ages of family, partners etc, where you live, what your partners do.

Basically I am just really nosey! If it's not the done thing then sorry for sticking my beak in and just ignore this thread.

32, living with dh in London, he is 31 and dd is 18 months. No pets!

I am a model.
I have 2 gorgeous children and my DH thinks I walk on water.
I have a huge house - no mortage and a chalet in Aspen and a Villa on Lake Como!

WAKE UP!
WAKE UP!
WAKE UP!

Ooops

I'm overweight - paranoid - have 2 kids that will seek therapy after all the shouting I do and a DH who thinks I should be institutionalised.

I must admit I thought that it was rather brave of Bobsmum to post her website (along with great family photos) on another thread.
There are may things that I have said that I would not like others to link back to me.
Having said that if you know who I am - then it's easy to work out. I have not held back many secrets on Mumsnet!

Hello girls, how are you all this evening.
I am 35 my dp 32 we are getting married in June
I have 3 dd 18,17 and 13.
I have 3 ds 10,6 and 2.
I have 2 stepsons 14 and 12.they live with their mum.
I love being a mum but they walk all over me hence the nickname.
I live in Liverpool.

I shall be 45 on Friday (not dropping any hints of course!!), married - DH is 42 - with one son aged 2 & we live in Suffolk, having relocated from the South East a couple of years ago.

Oh and I've lied about everything coz it appears SH is stalking me.

I think Doormat should get a special Mumsnet award!!!

St Doormat!!

And to think I am worrying about coping with 2. How do you do it Doormat? Do you wear your knickers outside your tights?

Glad you didn't stay away too long - your comments on this thread made me laugh

Come on northernlass this is a reveal all thread. Homage to m2t is on another I believe...

hello poppets. I'm 45 ( how nice to see I'm not the only one ) P is 44 ( we both have the same birthday !!) dd is 8 and dd is 1. Me too - very very curious. I really love this place. It feels so secure and non-judgemental.

I'm 35, DH 38,DS twins 4.5,step DD 8yo.
We live in Wales, am quite happy to talk all day about my family, would love to show pictures, of my beautiful children and handsome DH.
Very happily married,don't mind him knowing what I say about him, he often reads my posts.
In fact DH is a P/T SAHD, and has been iching to contribute to Mumsnet for ages,but as we share a email address, he couldn't regester.
We have been trying to remady this but we're both too computer illiterate.

I'm 33. DH is 34. Two DSs - 5 and 3 years old. I'm Irish.

jac34, go to www.hotmail.com and click on "new account sign-up" which is the second tab on the page. It's really easy to sign up, you can choose your own user name (ie your dh could be [email protected] if someone hasn't already taken it) and it's free. Then he can come to mumsnet too!

Or he could just change the posting name thingy for himself on mumsnet when he is posting.

does the st
stand for stupid by any chance.
LOL
to all you mumsnetters

I don't mind giving out some info. My name is probably pretty obvious! I am 30 years old. I live in Sheffield, with DH, aged 29. I am a teacher (secondary ICT) - part-time now - and Dh is a solicitor. We have one child - 13 month old DD.

I use another site too (Baby World) and have a couple of pages on there with photos of DD, her birth story and a little about me and DH (not much, not that interesting!).

hi nerdgirl,nice to see you again!!!

Hello everyone, I'll add my bit then.
I'm 36 (till tomorrow...) have 1 dd aged 2 and am single.
M2T, glad to see you're still here!
