Should I not post here?

Does it bother anyone when I post about my 14 year old? I know this is a baby board, but it's kind of become my "home board". It never occured to me that some of you might get annoyed by the random teenager post until I saw a reply someone made in the TIP post.

Re: Should I not post here?
Oh, I don't care what they think, the reply was by one of our own. It wasn't mean or anything, just gave me pause, ya know?
Really? That's kind of crummy of them. I don't mind (and I'd hope most others don't mind) I feel like most of us here talk about other NBR things and family related things that don't center around babies, I definitely think it's ok.
I know which post you are talking about and I can tell you she didn't mean it that way. I thought the same thing at first.
We post about DH and MIL vents and welfare and none of that is baby related.
I say post away... If people don't like it they don't have to read it. There are a lot of posts that don't apply to me, when I see them I just move on.
Besides... all of us are headed to the teenage years at some point anyway!
Post away. I like reading about your teen. I tend to post about my teen on the Parenting board just because I get more responses but there are many post on this board not related to babies 6-9 months.
BTW, your post yesterday about your teen wanting BC made me thankful I have a teen boy. It also gave me a mental note to have a refresher sex talk with him.

The Chaos of Six!
I thought maybe I was taking it the wrong way. Like I said, I didn't think it was mean or anything, it just made me wonder.
No, I love that you post here. If you're talking about my post over there, I was in no way saying you shouldn't post about your daughter. I was telling them why we all had a "snitfit".
They're jackasses. Don't sweat it.
Me too!
And I like your ticker for her. :P
Happy Birthday, little man. We love you so much!
My favorite money saving tip: I've earned more than $300 in gift cards (Amazon, Starbucks, Southwest!) using SwagBucks for internet searching - and you can too! It's FREE and EASY!
I enjoyed reading your post. DD is my first, but my little sister is 14 (15 next month, AH!) so I can relate. I know there are other women on this board that could relate too. POST AWAY!
Like pp said, if someone doesn't like it, they don't have to read it.
That is not what I meant at all. I was addressing their claims that we were terrible parents b/c we freaked out about sex. I was pointing out that a lot of us don't have teenage kids. We have babies, so we're not used to thinking about that part of parenting.
I'm sorry if it came off that way, because I sincerely did not mean for it to.
Who got a 'tude with you? I'll cut 'em.
ETA: OK, MOC is cool and she said she didn't mean it. I still wanna cut a fool. Who to cut? Who to cut?
I haven't posted a lot lately, but during my spell of insomnia last night I was reading through that post. It doesn't bother me at all that you (or anyone) would post about their teenager. They're just as much your family and not every topic needs to be baby related. And ?t's your home board and everyone knows you so why wouldn't you want advice from people you know?
In addition, I like to try put myself in the posters' position and think about how I would deal with it. Those years truly terrify me!
You could cut a fool on TIP...
Deal!
You're a part of this board and you can post about anything you want! Besides, most of us have known you since the tri days so I'm sure we have better insight to give you advice.
I was happy about the school aged child board,, but I haven't posted there much. I feel at home here.. If I feel like posting about DD1, I do. I know most of you can't relate, but some do or just comment anyway.
None of us are going to have identical lives!
That TIP ordeal was rediculous!
I didn't really think that you did, but in case you haven't notice, I tend to over-think things.
It's my proof that I love her as much as Dylan!
I
you, I really do!
I do the same thing.
No, it doesn't bother me. I think it's kind of foreshadowing what it's like to have a teen and I figure I need all the prep I can get.
A good number of us have older kids/babies and I think it's NBD if they are mentioned/posted about, personally.

Nope! She is your "baby" too!
I have a 4 year old (just turned 4 today - see post below) and I like to AW and post about him too (on occasion). I don't want to leave him out...lol.
