I agree that the site will likely evolve as everyone's babies grow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613613 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 10:10:26 +0000 T-Mom 613613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @katiew92081: I had posted a suggestion to set up a forum for older kids before in the suggestions, but it seemed like there wasn't enough interest. Maybe if you guys go and post your interest, it will help? <a href="http://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/board-category-for-older-kid-topics" rel="nofollow">http://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/board-category-for-older-kid-topics</a><br /> My DD is 4.5 and DS is 18 months. I can think of a few other moms out there who have similarly aged (if not older) LOs. I don't think this site should just stop at babies or even toddlers. Otherwise, it should be called a "parenting for baby and toddler" site, not just a "parenting" site! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613578 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:56:08 +0000 lemondrop 613578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have an end point in mind. I expect the site to grow with the Bee kiddos, so I expect it to stay relevant for me. We're planning at least 2 more kids over the next 5ish years, so I'll appreciate the community support for some time still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613536 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:42:01 +0000 Beebug 613536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny I was thinking about this last night. </p> <p>Is it sick that I am already excited for the next time I can join a POAS thread? LOL.</p> <p>I figure by the time LO #2 gets a few months old I will probably retire from HB? I don't doubt that it will always be useful, but I am betting on having my hands a little more full and I don't think I will want to be on the computer as much at that point! Surely to browse and then I will have to "Hello Bee Wean" ....how's that for new terminology :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613526 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:39:15 +0000 tequiero21 613526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same, as long as I can find relevant info and the community and the love stays the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613477 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:21:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 613477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as I feel the content pertains to me I will stick around, I love the positive upbeat feel it gives off! A great way to spend a few minutes every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613468 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:17:30 +0000 Dandelion 613468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regerberadaisy: True, I could totally just start posting threads about him, but really...he's so easy, I don't have a ton of questions about him, lol. And, I wonder if I start posting experience questions about older kids, if many bees would be in the position to answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613456 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:13:21 +0000 MrsTiz 613456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katiew92081: I think that .Twist. has two stepsons that are around 5? You should start a thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613444 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:06:06 +0000 regberadaisy 613444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katiew92081: even though I know 5 isn't quite toddler any more you should start a thread for folks with older kids in either toddler or your little one forum! If there are more threads, posts etc about older kids I bet Mr Bee will create a board for older kids just like there's one for infants &amp; toddlers. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613440 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:03:43 +0000 MrsTiz 613440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got another 7 months of pregnancy, and then at least a year or two of babyhood, by then i'm pretty sure HB will have evolved into a toddler-kid site because the members who post most often will keep posting about their older kids! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613436 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:02:16 +0000 regberadaisy 613436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been active since TTC and I don't see myself leaving unless the site goes in a different direction. I see similar age moms staying into toddler years. The beautiful thing about this site is parenthood never ends unlike WB where the wedding does come to an end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613411 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 08:40:07 +0000 Cherrybee 613411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH asked me this the other day!! I said that I will stay on it as long as there are other bees at similar life stages to me - eg have LOs the same age. I've found HB compeltely invaluable in making decisions, planning for the next step of my life (becoming a parent) and TTCing. The community has also helped to to naviage the first few months of pregnancy, so far. I suspect that as my LO grows I wil have questions about waning and tantrums and starting school - and as long as there are people here to answer those questions and share experiences, I will find the site a great resource. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613386 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 08:15:54 +0000 Dandelion 613386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to see the site grow towards the older children, as our babies grow older, too. My ds is 5 and in kindergarten, and while I know that I'm not the only one, it would be nice to have more parents with that level. It's actually rare to find a parenting community that isn't all baby-toddler based. But, since LO is due any day, at least the site will still be relevant for everything to do with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613356 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 07:50:46 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 613356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be so sad if the toddler community didn't continue to grow. A much as I love the baby focus of HB I'd love to see a little more focus on parenting as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613353 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 07:46:13 +0000 heffalump 613353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 19 months and I still think hellobee is super helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613342 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 07:41:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 613342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the toddler community for sure will continue to grow! Especially as people have a second! </p> <p>@Bao: I agree, I would love to see more "kid" stuff on HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613225 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:47:12 +0000 Bao 613225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forever? ;) I think I will always have questions even when my LO is in school. Parenting is a long journey! I would love to help new parents get answers too, if I've been there done that I might as well help a new mom or dad out with some tips/advice. I think since right now a lot of us have babies or are having babies, there will be more of us with toddlers and school aged kids down the road. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613224 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:45:23 +0000 Running Elley 613224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see myself staying on for awhile. I've also been here since ttc and DS is 5 months. Once he's a toddler we'll be ttc again so it should all stay relevant for awhile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613219 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:27:13 +0000 mrskc 613219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as I'm enjoying it here. I've been on since we started TTC and now my son is almost 5 months. I'm sure the parents with toddlers community will grow and I plan to have another. I enjoy the community here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613216 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:21:52 +0000 sunny 613216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guessing I will read until I feel like it's not relevant anymore! I'm hoping lots of mamas stay on the boards so that it will always be relevant :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613211 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:10:23 +0000 pinkcupcake 613211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been active on HB since LO was about 4 months old. She's now a year, and although I don't get to post as much as I used to now that she's so active, I still enjoy reading the blogs and catching up on the forums when I get a chance. It's also been really helpful to get advice on feeding since that's what I struggle the most with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-stay-on-hb#post-613192 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 23:55:34 +0000 googly-eyes 613192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been on since I first found out I was pregnant, between 3-4 weeks pregnant! That was January 2012. DD is now almost 6 months and if I had to guess I'd say I will be on HB til she's a year? Not sure beyond that if I don't get pregnant again, but maybe longer since I'm thinking many of you may stick around and the toddler community may expand as well???</p> <p>What about you? </p>
