And honestly just bc y'all are older doesn't mean y'all are mature.... some of y'all are just as immature as the younger women on here.
Honestly I think it's stupid to have the age groups divided anyway bc no matter what our age is we're all moms..... if you have a problem with people asking for advice then dont get on the app!
Not as annoying it is to be on the 18-24 community with 15 year old complaining their "baby daddy" don't get along with their stupid parents that they are scared to tell they are pregnant etc.
And I don't think I'm "too mature for my own age group" I think kindness should be practiced everywhere. Sometimes I go to the 18 group to help give advice to younger moms too.
I personally don't ask for advice on here. I'm was just saying that's why I read posts on here.
I personally don't think it matters who posts where if you have a question you believe another forum can't answer. I don't mind answering questions for anyone no matter their age. There are first time moms who might be 18 and some might be 40 . If someone needs advice or has a question because they are nervous or scared I think it's completely selfish to not try and help someone because of their age. My husband is 8 years younger than me so technically he couldn't post on here but I can. Age is just a number and someone should be able to post where they feel most comfortable without people being rude to them.
Pandatrap, thank you for saying that; this is a forum for women age 35+. Not a forum for 20 somethings who think they're too mature for their own age group; nor is it a forum for younger moms to come get advice from older moms. It is a peer support forum, and it is VERY annoying to scroll through a ton of posts of 20 somethings looking for advice, or labor complaints from people who think it's for 3rd trimester moms. I don't want to always be giving advice to younger moms; I want to give and receive support from my peers!
If there is a lot of drama on younger forums its up to the people on those forums who aren't so dramatic to fix it. Ignore the drama, don't create it, make your space into what you want it. Instead of coming to ours because we're "so mature". I admit, it is a little annoying to come here as a 41year old woman and see people <18 who want advice. Be mature on your own forum and that'll help.
I agree with staci_day. There's A LOT of drama on the other forums. I should be looking at the middle one cuz I'm 28yrs old, but it's bad.
Hi everyone. I am 40 and TTC. Bit scary, but I hope everything will be fine...
Some of us get on the other ages bc some people in the lower ages are immature and like to flip out ab the dumbest stuff. I'm not saying all of them do but it does happen.
I see a lot posting who are teenagers or in their 20's. Just looking for a clarification while being considerate of other people's confusion.
It's really not hard to figure out that it's age forum and not weeks. Cuz y would there be only 3 forums for weeks beginning 18-24? What about weeks 4-17? Makes no sense or else they might as well just named the forum 1st trimester, 2nd trimester and 3rd.. Like really it's kinda self explanatory..
Really? This whole time I thought it meant 35weeks and up lol
Over 35 years. I'll be 41when I deliver. Oldest 22 and youngest 15.
