I'm pretty loyal when it comes to my forums. There was one I posted on for years, though, and haven't been on for a few months now. It's dedicated to a totally different subject but does have some TTC/pregnancy/parenting threads, but they were pretty dead while I was pregnant. Add in some fractiousness and the departure of a few of my favorite posters there, and it just wasn't a happy and relevant place. HB pretty much supplanted it, though I may eventually start posting there again. But I have no plans to leave HB anytime soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523761 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 16:27:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1523761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Y'know, I always thought it would be a forever thing... Like I'd be blogging about how to talk to teens about sex and stuff...</p> <p>But life changes and focus changes. So I'll just kind of have to see how things shake out.</p> <p>But I do love the community and missed it terribly when I first went on my self-imposed break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523756 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 16:26:35 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1523756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it will be a lot like Weddingbee was... Lurking while hoping to get engaged, active while planning and just after, finally breaking away when its been too long!</p> <p>So in HB terms: lurking while waiting, active when TTC, pregnant, and parenting a small child(ren). Then when it seems that my kid(s) are past the average age around here, I'd probably fade away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523745 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 16:23:36 +0000 yin 1523745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been on Hellobee since the beginning, and I can't imagine not being part of this community.

And I imagine I will love it when I have a fussy infant and don't know what to do! But once the kids get older, I can't imagine what I will need HelloBee for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523659 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 16:00:16 +0000 Bao 1523659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking a very long time. I became active when A was a few months old, now that I've had E I still have more questions even though she's my second child. I know I will always have questions/need advice as I go through each stage of parenting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523653 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:56:46 +0000 MrsKoala 1523653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'll be here until I don't feel like it adds value to my life. It definitely does now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523652 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:55:37 +0000 shellio 1523652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523651 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:54:55 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1523651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to think I will stick around. I stopped going on WB pretty much immediately after my wedding, but this sort of website lasts with you longer as you grow as parents. Since this is my first LO, I anticipate being here for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523642 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:52:27 +0000 pui 1523642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of come and go with online forums. Right now I'm pretty active, but that could change randomly. No real way to predict it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523637 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:51:13 +0000 swedishfish 1523637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: :heart: you will. I know you will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523628 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:48:45 +0000 Running Elley 1523628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure. I can't believe I've been here for over 2 years already! Once my kids are in school and involved in after school activities I think it'll be harder to find the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523588 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:37:29 +0000 cascademom 1523588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I think that there's different waves in HB: ttc, pregnancy, newborn, infant, toddler, school age. It feels like you go through the waves mostly with the same people, so I think I'll be here awhile. I know that some of my original due date twins now have second LOs while others are still thinking about #2. Also, I think the discussions will change when a bunch of the kids get to be school aged. I envision more school aged discussions in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523554 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:30:08 +0000 pinkcupcake 1523554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just wondering this today. I like reading the boards b/c there's usually lots of helpful information, but sometimes when I get annoyed, I want to quit :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523538 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:25:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1523538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully long enough to participate in parenting boards. One day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523533 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:23:03 +0000 artsyfartsy 1523533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: Bahaha I love my due date twins too. I love your description! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523530 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:21:30 +0000 LBee 1523530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've wondered the same thing. It's nice to see you are still active even with a new baby. </p> <p>I agree with @Mae ... I'll be here until I'm not. This is the longest I've ever participated in something online though. I will admit I feel oddly attached to my due date twin ladies - I imagine it's how soldiers feel after combat, if you replace wartime with morning sickness and constipation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523514 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:17:58 +0000 Mae 1523514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol well in 12 or so years I bet there will be demand for an "empty nesters" board and then we really CAN stay here forever…? :)</p> <p>Honestly I'll probably be here until my life gets too busy to be online a lot like I am now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523513 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:17:44 +0000 avivoca 1523513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know...I'm just going with the flow. I like it here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-think-youll-be-on-the-bee#post-1523505 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:16:23 +0000 artsyfartsy 1523505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking today about how we will probably start TTC #2 this time next year and I'll be excited to join the POAS boards! I missed out with my first pregnancy. I lurked and joined the day I got my BFP. So I went through the TWW alone. I can't wait to participate next time!</p> <p>But I got to thinking, what if I don't get on HB as much then? Personally I think I'll be here for a while. I've been addicted since I joined and make time to catch up even with a 5 week old. But we can't be here forever right? Or can we?</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
