Gransnet is for grandparents. Let's keep it that way

Isn’t Michael12 who starts the Good Morning thread male?

Although it's mainly grandparents I think it's interesting to have other points of view. So, all welcome really
[ except for the occasional nit wit idiots out to make trouble.]

Agree with Miss A

I thought I'd copied the whole of 'War and Peace' when I saw that, baubles

I was under the impression that the word ‘grandparents’ does include grandfathers, who are presumably men.

But it’s noticeable that we get very few on here - maybe they’re too busy in their man-cave sheds, or exchanging emails with beautiful 28 year old foreign women who have fallen head over heels in love with them, but just need £25k for their poor old widowed mother’s cancer treatment…

Maybe the younger ones feel that the older Grans are quite wise!
I don’t mind grandads on here, adds to the mix of topics.

Young and old, rich and poor, male and female. Just one thing to bind us together, Grandchildren

Not everyone on here has grandchildren though...

I don't mind, but do see that the name 'Gran'snet, indicates females.

GRANdmothers and GRANdfathers both begin with GRAN

That's right MissInterpreted.

No, I don't Skydancer

MissInterpreted Sorry I should have realised that. It is Gran’s net though.

There is no apostrophe. It doesn't just belong to Gran.

Good posts as always, Elegran.

Does anyone know if men post on mumsnet?

It's a shame that most men don't stay for long on Gransnet. Michael has been posting for years but it's a pleasant early morning catch up thread. I sometimes feel that men can get a rough deal from some posters and don't stay for long. Our Australian friend stayed around but he was not put off by some of the critical posts.

As long as they are pleasant when answering posts then I do not care who joins gransnet,

I don’t mind who posts on GN. Young mums sometimes come on to get a different perspective on their problem and I think that’s great. As for men, well as long as they don’t mind us moaning about them (in general) that’s great too! 😂😂 I want to hear different points of view and if I don’t like them I just scroll on by.

I am 75 .Not a grandmother but I love reading all your posts and I occasionally contribute.

I don't like the moaning about men as a group of people. We do get it on here though... personally I'd rather those posters went elsewhere.

I’m with the majority who have posted, I really don’t care if you’re male or female, young/er or old/er, if you have something to contribute then why not? I also use Mumsnet, certain forums are often very entertaining, and/or informative and interesting.

I would prefer GN to be open to anyone. As topgunner says, as long as they are pleasant. Different points of view are interesting.
