I'm retired and greatly enjoy being part of Mumsnet. Am I really too old to join in ?

Why would you think that? I'm retired too and have been on here for years.

Of course not! Come join the collective gunfight 😅

We aren't all mums or even all women

Gunfight?? It's not that bad! BUN FIGHT!

Older people have more life experience. A valuable commodity on this site

Years ago Mumsnet set up Gransnet for the over 50s but I'm staying here were I've been for a couple of decades 😅

I am retired and in my 60s, but as I am not a grandmother, Gransnet doesn’t seem appropriate so I am also staying here!

Thank you all. Think I was having a down day! You are all so generous. 🙂
