Like others, I am often on my phone and it's hard to really type out what I'm thinking I love reading, though and learn so much from HB :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to/page/2#post-1355546 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 22:23:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1355546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I just opened three threads and didn't respond. I'm a lurker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to/page/2#post-1355533 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 22:17:33 +0000 MoonMoon 1355533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Lots of reasons:</p> <p>Only want to contribute useful/helpful answers, and my baby is only 7 months so I'm not super experienced yet</p> <p>Also, I used to be super involved in blogs/forums, so I like scaling it back and being more anonymous. I know the trade off is that I probably won't be able to make many friends by not sharing a lot of stuff, but that's ok.</p> <p>ETA-like PP said, I often read when I'm nursing and on my phone which makes responding much harder. So I'm like, do I really need to say something? Lol</p> <p>I really do appreciate the collective wisdom/support here, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1355491 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 22:02:33 +0000 travelgirl1 1355491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, mainly because I'm usually on my phone and typing can be difficult. If I can get on the laptop, I reply to much more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1355296 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 21:06:32 +0000 Blueberry 1355296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! But I'm trying to be better about posting. I just found this site recently and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1355271 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:58:36 +0000 swedishfish 1355271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1355259 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:56:08 +0000 MrsStormy 1355259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little embarrassed by how many threads I read and don't post on! I'm a super stalker, but I don't mean to be, I've also had an account since hellobee was in beta, so I've been stalking for a long time. Feel free to call me a creeper :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1355241 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:51:33 +0000 Jellyfish 1355241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I always read HB when I'm nursing and I am horrible with typing on my phone. Am trying to post more and be a helpful bee when I can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1355173 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:35:31 +0000 mrs. 64 1355173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Getting better about posting, miss 5927 posts!?! :wink: </p> <p>I definitely read more than I respond to, but I think it's easier to respond more/have more to contribute as you advance in your stage if that makes sense. I used to only feel comfortable posting on TTC and general topics but now I feel like I can post on some of the pregnancy ones and eventually the baby ones, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1355096 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:19:14 +0000 rattles 1355096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure, and for lots of reasons. I don't like replying from my phone. DH is fairly private and so wouldn't want me sharing too much personal info. And sometimes I just don't have anything nice to say :silly: Usually though, I'm agree with the others and I don't want to beat a dead horse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1355038 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:09:56 +0000 Apex 1355038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, all the time. I usually don't have anything to add, but i always have a lot to learn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354927 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:53:09 +0000 bisous 1354927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am curious, so yes! I also think it's sometimes a pain to reply when I only have one hand free because I am nursing or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354897 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:48:20 +0000 Amelieisme 1354897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the time! Not sure why. I'm not super talkative IRL and I guess that expands to here as well. Plus, I'm usually on my phone or iPad so replying can be tedious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354894 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:47:53 +0000 heartonastring 1354894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure. When I don't contribute it's usually because a. I have the same question as the OP, b. I'm just curious, c. Whatever I have to add has already been said numerous times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354878 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:44:06 +0000 Bao 1354878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I read it and don't have anything to contribute, or no advice, I will just continue on. I try and give kind words if someone is in need of help and I can't give it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354868 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:42:41 +0000 Sapphiresun 1354868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I read a lot of stuff about babies older than my own for future reference, but don't have much experience to contribute. Plus I often read while nursing on my phone and only have one hand free so it's annoying to type. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354744 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:26:18 +0000 mrskc 1354744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I've been lurking a lot lately because I've been reading from my phone and it's annoying trying to reply a lot from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354709 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:20:41 +0000 Brassgiraffe 1354709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! For many of the same reasons as pp. It also depends on my energy level a.k.a. if baby is sleeping well that day or not :) I should post more often though… it's more fun to be involved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354695 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:18:55 +0000 MrsH 1354695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, sometimes I don't have advice or experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354684 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:17:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 1354684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I don't often like to repost the same answer if 50 people already said it, unless they're going for a high number of responses for some reason ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354678 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:16:56 +0000 MapleMoose 1354678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I'm curious (nosey), I search old posts for research, and sometimes I just don't have any advice or experience so I read but don't post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354676 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:16:36 +0000 yellowbird 1354676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: yes!!!! The past two days I've tried to post on every thread I read. It's been challenging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354671 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:15:08 +0000 petunia354 1354671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah! I don't want to repeat the same thing that 10+ other people have said before me (kind of like what I'm doing now!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354619 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:01:15 +0000 CakeLady 1354619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Sometimes I don't feel like I have much valuable to add or have time to put together a thoughtful response. Also, I often look back at old threads for advice or info. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354591 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:49:28 +0000 Synchronicity 1354591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. I'm still in the lurking around, absorbing information phase :) I'm sure once we start TTC I'll feel like I have more to post about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354458 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:02:37 +0000 Crystal 1354458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I am trying to be better about posting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354456 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:02:03 +0000 illumina 1354456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! I'm on here so much more than I get time to post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354450 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:01:09 +0000 GrapeCrush 1354450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally! I feel like I have nothing to contribute most of the time haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354367 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 17:34:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 1354367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not many more, but sometimes I just don't have anything meaningful to contribute, or have no opinion about something, so I don't. </p> <p>I'm interested in threads about day care and working moms, because I'm looking for a job and those will be relevant to me, but for now they aren't something I have any experience with so I don't comment--I have nothing to contribute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-many-more-posts-than-you-reply-to#post-1354356 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 17:32:09 +0000 coopsmama 1354356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: Yup. This. It's hard to type long responses on my phone and I'm usually reading while nursing or giving a bottle so I don't have both hands free anyways. </p> <p>I've learned so much from this community (both useful now and in the future!) and I'm really thankful for it. There are a lot of wonderful parents here and I hope someday I can add to the community and be a resource as well. :) </p>
