Once kids are in school, I think the parenting issues get a little different than what is covered on this site... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412112 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 22:00:16 +0000 .twist. 412112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: yea. It's been better the last couple years but it does get challenging, especially knowing boundaries. She thinks I pretend to be their mom. Like I want to replace her. I've never actually met her because she hates me and I'm scared of her. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412080 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 21:08:29 +0000 T-Mom 412080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: ah ok. Wow that sounds challenging for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412077 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 21:06:12 +0000 T-Mom 412077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yeah... Agreed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412067 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:54:19 +0000 mrbee 412067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: We'd probably wait til we have tweens before making that decision! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412048 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:36:06 +0000 T-Mom 412048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: hm I dunno... There seem to be plenty of books<br /> Out there on the topic...Like "queen bees and wannabes".. Sounds pretty intense, I'm sure I could use a Tween parenting site when I get there... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412047 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:36:04 +0000 .twist. 412047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Thanks! I'll check them out. My situation is a little unique because their mom is kind of crazy... </p> <p>@mrbee: I've tried to find some step-parent sites but they are not very active. At least, as far as I noticed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412040 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:27:21 +0000 mrbee 412040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: well the age focus of Hellobee probably won't change too much.</p> <p>Not sure that a parenting site for tweens and teens would be a must read site? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412038 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:25:20 +0000 T-Mom 412038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: that's an interesting thought? Instead of "say hello to baby", the tagline could be "welcome to parenthood".. Oh wait I think pampers already uses that! So I guess the education site is focused more on the more technical aspects of education and Parenting is everything is everything else? </p> <p>The great thing about hellobee right now is that the scope is really narrow and focused so you can really get into the nitty gritty about certain topics like breastfeeding issues, e.g. Seems like that type of info would get lost if you make the whole thing just "parenting." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412025 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:18:21 +0000 mrbee 412025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: maybe we could have Hellobee focus on parenting and another site that focuses on education!</p> <p>@.twist.: Are there good sites for step parents? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412023 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:16:02 +0000 T-Mom 412023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: maybe you can look into a local moms group? I have received a lot of support from my local moms group (I found on yahoo groups) and many of them are way ahead of me in terms of kids' age. I have only met a few in person and everything is very virtual. It helps to have ppl who have gone before you give advice. Also, my DD is 4.. Not as old as yours, but maybe we should form some kind of board within hellobee for support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412021 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:14:16 +0000 softcream 412021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>maybe through 1st grade or 3rd grade </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412019 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:11:47 +0000 .twist. 412019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't do a separate k - 6 site then definitely do hello be to an older age. But I would LOVE a k - 6 site. Like meow. </p> <p>My step boys are 5 &amp; 8 and I have really no one to talk to about it. Can get really frustrating sometimes since I'm not their natural mom and haven't been in their lives as long as everyone else. Other parenting advice for more mature kids would be lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412013 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:09:30 +0000 T-Mom 412013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I would love it of you guys did this! I actually think that parents do still actively participate in online communities as the kids age, but maybe in different ways. For example my local moms group is really active on listserv and those parents have kids up to high school. The type of things that come up in those emails are topics like learning disabilities, family problems, birds and the bees (eek), enrichment classes, schools, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-412007 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:01:20 +0000 mrbee 412007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: We might do a K-6 education site at some point! It would probably be a separate site though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411966 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:36:19 +0000 T-Mom 411966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: @mrbee: To me 10 is another natural stopping point since many school systems would place 11 yr olds in junior high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411963 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:34:18 +0000 T-Mom 411963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am looking for more information on parenting.. It seems beyond the scope of hellobee at this point. From a practical perspective I think max for hellobee would be 5 yr old but I would love to find a site that caters to 5-10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411961 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:32:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 411961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think up to k or first grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411959 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:31:52 +0000 autumnlove 411959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: 6 actually seems like a better age! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411956 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:30:38 +0000 loveisstrange 411956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say up to school age (5-6). That seems a natural stopping point . After that, if there is a demand later on you can always expand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411945 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:22:04 +0000 mrbee 411945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Why 10? Just curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411942 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:21:55 +0000 Rubies 411942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up until grade 1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411940 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:21:15 +0000 SAHM0811 411940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TTC - 5 yo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411935 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:15:12 +0000 banana 411935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know...but definitely past 3! I'd say maybe birth-5? Up until kindergarten for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411933 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:14:04 +0000 Cole 411933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed on another board that after people's kids are 6 or so they stop using the boards for parenting stuff as much. I think this is in large part due to the fact that things just change with grade school. It seemed like a natural point where people lost interest in those boards so that might be a consideration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411923 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:02:53 +0000 autumnlove 411923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre TTC to 10! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ages-should-hellobee-cover#post-411921 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:01:19 +0000 mrbee 411921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, we've covered pre-TTC to age 3...
