Parenting after a Loss

Moms with older kids who have been on PAL a while

Mobile users:  Moms with older kids who have been on PAL a while 

Is it typical of this board to mostly be made up of moms with NBs?  It seems like moms with older babies/toddlers/kids don't post much here.  I'm guessing maybe bc of work and moms with NBs are on maternity leave?  I guess I didn't pay attention when DD was younger, but I feel like there are mostly just NB moms here right now--I feel left out without a little snuggle bug!

  • You still have a small snuggle bug!  And you'll have a new little snuggle bug soon!

    Didn't a lot of the ladies wander off to FB groups?

  • It seems like there are a lot of moms w/ NB's, and I think they tend to post more because they are the newb parents are therefore have more questions. There are a few of us with older kiddos though. This board is just kind of slow in general sometimes.

  • Mork is right. A lot of the ladies with babies 9m+ have wondered over to FB. When I first graduated to this board it seemed like there was next to no one posting here. Some of the newer ladies have been trying to liven up the board a bit, which I think is great. I'd love it to be more active here. I try to post as much as I can.

    It would be great to get some ladies with older kids posting again, too. I find it really helpful to read about issues they're going through so I can be prepared for when L reaches that stage.

    This time I'm not leaving without you.
  • I'm still here some. More on FB, it's easier on mobile and that's where most of the ladies I went through the loss boards with are.

    I look for posts from names I recognize though, like you!

  • I think they are around, but yeah, less in numbers. I'm a bit of a different joiner since I came to the AL community after having DD, and even though I don't have a lot of questions like new moms do, I really like having a place to talk about DD with those who understand after-loss. Because it has changed my outlook on parenting somewhat. And I like to be able to help out the moms with NBs where I can. Smile

  • I have been around awhile but I dont post much because I dont know anyone and the ones I did know like you said are on facebook and I am not in the facebook group.

  • I still post occasionally, I am just very busy with DD and school and now FI working full time. I had much more time to post when DD was a NB.

  • I try to post here but it seems like most of the time TB hiccups and loses my posts/replies.  I don't have time to deal with that anymore.  When DD was a NB and I was on maternity leave I would go on PAL and the BF board a lot, but now I barely have time for FB.  I wish TB would fix the site - then maybe I'd be more active here!

  • I'll be honest I lurk once a day or so. I usually open posts from people I know.

    Now that we are down to one short, pathetic nap a day I just don't have the time to Bump.

  • FB is much easier and I don't like the
    mobile version as much. I occasionally lurk but miss being able to see siggys!
