I didn't tell anyone else though. I kinda like how this is "my" lil place. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318821 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:49:33 +0000 Adira 2318821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've recommended it to a couple of my friends, and one of them even joined! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318795 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:37:22 +0000 Mamaof2 2318795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: same :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318516 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 20:49:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2318516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: hahaha mine says the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318460 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 20:18:14 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2318460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell lots of people but no one seems too interested in forums. That's fine, I like my HB family </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318418 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:59:18 +0000 jh524 2318418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @twodoghouse I like to keep HB my little place I can go and talk and share about things I might not normally share with my social circle and family. I love HB. I have told a few friends about but I love having my own little place to go ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318408 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:50:31 +0000 FaithFertility 2318408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bluemasonjar: DH when we have a question with DD will say why don't you ask those girls on that chat thing.... Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318406 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:48:28 +0000 FaithFertility 2318406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to many people that I know have/had IF that is how I found the Bee and it helped me so much!<br /> I love the Bee!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318399 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:46:09 +0000 BSB 2318399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I say 'my friends', too. Luckily, no one has asked me why I know people from different parts of the country. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318380 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:34:44 +0000 BSB 2318380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been pretty good with understanding that someone IRL might find me and recognize me. Also, I try not to say bad things about people in my life, but I don't tell people about HB because it's my own secret online forum. I like being somewhat anonymous. Now friends I've met through this site and others are different, but IRL friends seeing my online persona might completely freak or weird them out. Haha. It takes a little while to feel comfortable posting for a newbie but for a newbie to see someone with 14k in posts is... 😳</p> <p>I have recommended/suggested friends join by the HB invite thingy, but realized that they might come to the site and look for me and see how much I post. We all know that this online forum is normal for us but for some people it's weird.<br /> I could start suggesting the site by mentioning that I READ this blog and a bunch of other parenting sites but never mention that I frequent the boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318379 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:33:58 +0000 nana87 2318379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told someone about the blog once because she was asking me about what blogs I read (and ttc questions in general), but I didn't mention the boards...I feel like they're my secret place, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318349 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:15:23 +0000 birdofafeather 2318349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: right! Explaining how I knew you was funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318340 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:11:39 +0000 mrsjyw 2318340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mentioned to a couple mom friends but no one is into forums! They read the guides and such I send them regularly :)</p> <p>@birdofafeather: lol been there done that! And we have ppl we know irl in common, it's a bizarre and sweet thing we have going on ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318264 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:15:12 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2318264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will mention them on occasion but I don't specifically tried to lead people here. It is kind of nice having an arena that is private from people I know IRL where I can talk about more private things. </p> <p>@mrsrain: they are "the baby boards" to my husband! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318211 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:22:48 +0000 birdofafeather 2318211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @snowjewelz: i always say "my friend" and then people ask how i know people that live in canada or east coast or PNW or whatever. ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318210 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:22:24 +0000 mrsrain 2318210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to keep this part of my life private from people I know IRL! To my husband I just call it "the forums". :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318209 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:22:05 +0000 MrsRoo 2318209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've told one person, my SIL a few years ago. She posted for a little while and then stopped. I actually saw her post on a due date board and that's how I found out she was pregnant! I probably won't recommend it again, just to keep my small bit of online privacy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318206 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:20:27 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2318206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friends know I blog here, but none of them are into forums at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318204 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:19:29 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2318204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've sent a friend considering adoption a few posts, but generally my friends aren't into forums. I have also only told my sister and 2 SILs that I blog here... It's weird to me to broadcast that IRL although clearly it's there for the whole internet to see... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318202 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:15:41 +0000 CakeLady 2318202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I occasionally send links to blog articles or threads that are relevant to a problem/question a friend has, but I don't recommend that they join. I kinda like that it is separate from my friend/family network. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318163 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 16:40:30 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2318163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend just announced she is pregnant so I should recommend it to her but I'm not sure if she will be into it. My DH used to laugh when I talked about the Bees while wedding planning but he sees how helpful it is now with the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318104 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:45:51 +0000 LAZB 2318104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've told a handful of friends, none have signed up, but a couple will read posts on the blog </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318102 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:43:00 +0000 hellocupcake 2318102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my sister and cousin since I tell them everything/anything I would post anyway. They're not into online chat room type stuff so they haven't joined. I mainly told them because it's easier to explain where I "heard" something from. Ex: "I heard that magna-tiles are awesome so I'm going to get them for DD's birthday". "The Zany zoo is pretty popular among kids that age..." "Ive heard of people getting a false negative when they test too early, try tomorrow with FMU..." 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318097 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:41:29 +0000 twodoghouse 2318097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I want to keep this my own private place where I can talk about my boobs and periods and stuff without real life people seeing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318094 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:38:15 +0000 coopsmama 2318094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and one signed up and made ONE post. But otherwise people haven't taken me up on the recommendation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318087 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:31:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2318087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: that's awesome! i really hope to meet someone someday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318077 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:26:08 +0000 mediagirl 2318077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: hahaha. Yes. I have this problem, too. Explaining my online friends to my family is so awkward. I had a Hellobee friend come meet me at my parents house this summer and I still don't think they really understand how I met her. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-recommend-hellobee-to-your-friendsfamily#post-2318074 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:25:23 +0000 .twist. 2318074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. None of my friends are into forums. </p>
