I think that this board is the most supportive one here on ivillage not trying to bad mouth the other boards but I posted on one the other day stating I was new I was confused and I had questions I got zero responce I just checked the board today and not only did I still get no responce but there were posts after mine that got a lot of responces..I know I am whinning and I am sorry but I just thought that it would have been nice to have someone give me some info and insight I am going thru a really confusing time and I had alot of questions for this one baord and it just upset me...made me feel that what I had to day didnt matter...

Okay sorry for the whinning session I just felt hurt when I say this....I kknow that ehre the people are always so supportive and give so much back and share so much info with one another that I thought maybe all the boards were like tht here...

I know I am being mean by writting this but I am confused and am trying to find answers that no one seems to have..

Sorry ladies for my rants..

Sweetie,


I dont know the board so I dont want to say anything about a situation that in fact may just be an oversight..


It could just be that the CL missed it, which I have been known to do.. it could be that the people who have been there arent sure what to say.. sometimes its hard for people to find the words..


I would say give it another day hun... not ever board is as active as ours... I mean ours is so active .. I dont get to reply to every post because I dont have time LOL...


Know that you have my support though sweetie!!

*hugs

Caly is right, our board is really really active. And when you are new to a board sometimes it is hard for people to answer. I have had wonderful experience here and at the Mending Broken Hearts Board. But other times folks don't warm up as quick.

I think that this is quite ironic considering the nature of this place. You wouldn't think that, but we are an extraordinary bunch here.

You add to the wonderfulness, no worries...we are here for you.

Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

Take care,

Erin,

I've heard other people say similar things about some of the other boards. I have occasionally posted on other boards. I got a couple of responses on one board. However, this is the board I feel most drawn to, probably because this is my primary issue. I checked out one board that I thought I would relate to, but I noticed that the CL was the only one who seemed to respond to most posts. I thought it was great that she was devoted, but it was too bad that so many others didn't reach out to help others.

I think that sometimes people get in the habit of responding to just the people that they recognize. I know that sometimes people here don't get as much response as they would like. It just goes to show that it's important for all of us to reach out to be there for each other.

You give back so much to others. I really admire that. I think that there's a tradition of that on this board and it keeps getting passed on as new people join. It's definitely something to celebrate about this boad. As I often say, it's a very special place!

All My Best,

MariaC

Maria, it's people like you that make it such a special place.

There is not a person here that I don't feel lucky to know. People like you and Rose who study your fannies off. Moms and grandmoms (Barb is a cool lady). VERY single people like me. lol People who are tall, short, skinny, not so skinny *wink*. Such a variety!!!!!

We share because there is a profound hurt inside. When you have felt that hurt you don't want to make someone feel bad, so we give. Amazing really considering the pain all of us bear.

Making myself cry...can't I have to clean. Though the salt water may help...wow the dust is unreal.

Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

Take care,
