hiya i know im gunna get slated for this but i think that there is such a click of ppl in this forum, i really dont like coming on here anymore. i dun want to cause an argument or debate but there has been many of times where i have written a thread and no one has answered me. sum1 then who is quite popular writes a similar thread and gets loads of replies, and its always teh same ppl. i really need help aswell with weaning but to be honest im not even going to write my problem as i know the same ppl will critisise and judge me. i hopefully will get the answers that i need from the teenage parenting section. im just writing this ti make ppl aware that this is how some ppl feel and then ppl feel like they cant share their problems just incase they get critisised or it turns into a debate.

[bathbabe]

i know how you feel hun. It happens quite alot to people iv noticed. If i start a thread i dont get many replies either. X

 

[littleone2010]

Im sorry you feel like this Same here, ask away or pm me Ill try and answer if I can! xx

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

Sorry you feel like this, it's not nice to have no one reply to your questions. All I can say is, if there is anyone you think seems friendly or knowledgeable about something you need help with, maybe drop them a PM. Most people ARE nice and happy to try and help and give advice, although equally they will be honest and may not necessarily give you the answer you wanted to hear.

If you share something on a public forum I think that you can't be surprised or insulted when some people don't agree with you

 

[aliss]

I have never not answered a thread because of who wrote it. If I don't respond, it's because I don't know the answer. I'm sorry you feel that way, BUT, if people want to chat with their friends, they go to their parenting group threads (ie. The Ramblers, Canadian parenting). Here we just try to help out when we can.

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

Oh yeah. I never care who wrote a thread either, if I think I might be able to help, I'll answer.

 

[Mrs Dot]

I'm the same with the post thing, sometimes I get loads, sometimes not many responses. I think it can be dependent on what the thread is about and how relevant it is to the people on at the time when you post. Sometimes thay can drop off the bottom of the board so quickly if lots of people are on with lots to talk about too, and I know I only read/respond to posts relevant to me and my babies' age/stage of development, as time is limited online sometimes

 

[aliss]

And your last posted thread was October 20th. All others had lots of replies. Not sure what this is even about?

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

Hmmm...to stir something up perhaps?

 

[vixy]

i dont think shes stirring ladies, maybe just misunderstanding how the public forums work, especially ones that have this many people viewing, they do seem to drop off the bottom of the page quickly and as theres more posts there less people answering because they wont read them all. I find that all my posts in natural parenting get answered where as not all in this one. Its not something ive ever even thought about really.

To be honest and I'm sorry in advance but I personally can't fully read an entire post if the poster uses words like gunna and dun for the entire thing. I find it very annoying even though I know your not trying to be, its just something that gets under my skin. I also find it hard to read when people don't use any capital letters, it seems to look like one large sentence!

I understand poor spelling as some people just can't spell (myself included) but when you go out of your way to misspell words then its not something I choose to read. I hope you get your question answered, good luck

 

[bbyno1]

I will reply to threads when it is something i can relate to or know anything about,no matter who writes it Weaning is a touchy subject but feel free to post what ever it is you want or if you think it may turn into a little debate (and by the sounds of it,you don't want it to) then maybe seek some medical advice?x

I'm the same! It's not that I'm snobby or anything, I just find it difficult to read!

 

[hivechild]

I actually went and read the one thread that got no replies and i remember reading it and thinking I'll reply to it when I get a chance if I see it on the front page next time I was on, but it was in the middle of the night, I was exhausted, had just fed my lo and got him back to sleep and desperately just wanted to crawl back into bed myself. I figured someone else would probably get to it before me.

Chances are that I didn't get to log back in until later the next day, it had dropped from the front page, and I had done the same thing a lot of other sleep deprived mums do when you're on a forum with so much traffic.

If you don't get an answer, then bump the thread back onto the first page. Someone will answer, but it's not because of cliques that it doesn't, and if it is, it's the clique of overtired, stressed out and forgetful mummies clique that most of us are part of!

such a shame u feel that way- im a mom to a 3yr old and 9 week old im happy to be PMd! x

 

[Sherileigh]

Such support...it's truly touching. (oooh let me insert MY now).
Sorry you feel that way hun. It's as 'some' of the ladies have said, i'm sure it's not intentional, although it may possibly feel that way sometimes. People are from all over and sometimes it's a case of bad timing.
