communities by age

[SuzannesHalfDozen]

I laughed so hard reading the comments on the post below. First of all people are so upset that they were in the wrong forum and had no idea it was divided by age as opposed to stage of pregnancy. I guess since the first forum starts at 18, everyone early on in their pregnancy should be evicted from the sit?!? LOL. Next, so many people said they would rather talk to people at the same stage of prenancy rather than their age. As a 38 y.o mother of 6, I would rather talk about balancing high school children & an infant, or about genetic testing & amniocentesis as opposed to your baby's daddy or what you should name it.

Every once in a while, a moderator does a reminder post to let us know how it's divided (by years) and where to post irrelevant topics.  Saw one about a week ago.  Also, if it was by weeks, there would be nowhere to go if you were less than 18 weeks, which would be silly.  They really should just fix the labels to eliminate the confusion.

Just out of curiosity where does it actually say these forums are meant as age groups as opposed to weeks along? I didn't realize it was separated that way and still haven't seen where it says one way or the other. That may also just be my pregnancy brain getting lost easily though :)

I'm 24, but generally read through all age groups.  I found the 18-24 age group posts mostly irrelevant questions and if I want to gain useful information to read through the older group posts. However i do find many of the 18-24 posts amusing.

I'm puzzled!!!! Maybe it's me or my iPhone but I never go to any post but the ones I want to read! But I feel everyone post what they want and say what they just stroll pass it. But it seen drama from every age group and I expect it from younger people!!! Now these 30+ nope never thought I'll see it....

[Retro_Raven]

Edensinterstate that was wonderfully put, I 100% agree with every word you have said x

[edensinterstate]

By the way, some typos result from auto correct or just typing on cell phones. Mine does it to me all the time and I have to constantly correct it after posting.

[edensinterstate]

I don't think it has anything to do with age. I've had this app for a long time and I've even seen immature drama in this age group as well; including this post. By posting this, you are showing your own immaturity. Somebody really needed point that out. Some younger girls come to this age group seeking advice from experienced mothers. It's not right to judge all of them way you ladies have. Actually, I am 27 with my second child and over the past year I have given helpful advice to younger women and women in this age group as well. There are first time mom's in all age groups. This post is offensive. Don't judge someone based on their age. They might surprise you and offer you some useful and helpful advice.

[lgreen6201]

I'm almost 30, but I post in here too, because I am sick of the drama in the other forums.  Even now, they are still complaining about the complaining posts.  It's crazy.

[elocinin]

Im 23 I read in all groups when I'm bored but I usually post in the 25-35 bc I was tired of immaturity. I am very mature for my age so I couldn't handle the am I pregnant posts lol.

[manda8383]

I'm 30 years old and I hope you don't mind me posting in this age group, but the women in my age group are acting crazy! All they do is bicker back and forth...I can't stand it! I had to get out of there.

[lgreen6201]

What irritates me the most is that people complain that they want to be able to find people who are at the same amount weeks as them.  They can, if they just go to the month forums.  Then, I won't have to keep reading horrible spelling, drama about baby daddies, and crap about women who are smoking/drinking and want us to tell them it's okay.  Just my two cents.

[Pandatrap]

I couldn't agree more, I'm 41 & pregnant with my first, I want to talk to moms my own age and at my stage in life as we handle those challenges. Not an 18 year old with a baby, don't take it personally, it's just not where I am in my life anymore, and I want to keep up with peers.

"Ypur just stupid".   This so completely speaks for itself! And validates this whole post!

[KKeller78]

I love being in my age group. I am 35 expecting my second child. Many people think we are insane for starting over as they call it. We just wanted to wait between children. My first child is 10. Everyone take care and have a blessed night.

[SuzannesHalfDozen]

I am so glad I posted this. This has been the best thread! Honest, funny, genuine responses!! Thank you :)

[MamaRunt]

I'm 24, Expecting My 3Rd Child. I Like Reading In All The Communities...I Only Comment On Post I Can Read And Have An Answer Too.

[patty1848]

I hadn't checked this age group, I'm 29, and I totally agree with this post.

[lynz3388]

I downloaded this app to track ovulation so when it's time for us to try hopefully it's easier but I honestly have to say I start every morning reading all the posts and this forum has A LOT of notable reads! I'm 26 and my biggest pet peeve is bad grammar and spelling... can't stand it at all. I don't mind abbreviations like lol... omg...etc but seriously when I read some posts I just lose it. It's THAT not DAT. Also I do agree with the whole drama thing... I  got off of Facebook for that reason.. I would rather learn something on here than drama lol rant of the morning sorry. You wonderful women keep doing what you're doing and best of luck to all of you. Once again I do not mean ANY disrespect to any ladies on here I just think it had to be said.

[shortanddumpy1]

Mama87 do you perhaps mean *you are? The word can be shortened to *you're. Your means something someone owns or a behaviour trait belonging to them..... I assume you commented meaning the ladies in here were wrong in expressing the thoughts that it is nicer to be in a community that they can relate to? Also easier to.understand the spelling and grammar in?

[mamah87]

Ypur just stupid

[aerisfae]

I'm new here. Downloaded the app yesterday. I am 36 and trying for #5.  I read this thread and HAD to check out the 18-24 page. The first post was "i'm 8w 4d prego and got my navel pierced march 1st". I had to stop right there...

[MyaMaeleigh]

I honestly had no idea at all it was divided by age, but honestly I will continue to not post in the 18 to whatever age group. Mainly because I can not stand having to struggle to understand people because they can't spell. Also, I may be young, being as I'm 17, but I would much rather get advice from older, more experienced mothers. That is just my opinion though. (I hope I don't come across as rude or anything of that sort. Just simply stating my thoughts.)

[2ndtimesacharm]

OMG, that has been me for the last 3 months.  I thought is was by how many months!  Reading about all of these young girls getting pregnant for the second time and still in high school.  I am 37 and pregnant for my 2nd.  First was our IVF miracle baby and we are calling this our love child.  After spending tens of thousands of $ to have the first one and this one conceived due to a day off on valentines day!  Best day off ever ;)  I am now in the correct age group!

[Isthatyoubob]

I am 35 and this is my 5th pregnancy but the only one to make it to this stage (13weeks).  I have had a lot of fertility investigations and ivf so I find it quite an anxious pregnancy and am still in denial that we will have a baby at the end of this year (although very hopeful and know stats are on my side now).  It is extremely unlikely an 18 year old has been in this situation so I think the age divisions are helpful.  I know there are a lot of 35+ year olds who get spontaneously pregnant and don't even consider miscarriage (lots of my friends in fact) but it is good to hear from people in the same mindset as you for support and to know you're not just a negative person being a bit more emotionally reserved (like I've only told a few close friends now and feel scared to tell in case I have to tell them it's failed again- yes i know it's silly but it's how I feel!)
