I know we see this post time to time, does your SO know about HB?
He def knows that it's my go to resource/community--- he's "verb"-ified it... if I'm in the den past work hours (or sometimes during work hours LOL) he'll creep in and say (are you working or) r u hellobeeing?

Heh D does this too (uses it as a verb). He'll often ask me if anything interesting happened on "The Bee" that day, and remembers/asks after some users!

He does! It was sort of funny because I'd mentioned it a few times but I didn't even think I'd told him the name. Then one time I was like "I was reading this story on a forum today..." and he's like "hellobee? go on.." haha apparently he was paying closer attention than I thought.

Yep! And I'll always tell him about the ladies on here and I talk about most of you like I know you all IRL.
watermelon / 14206 posts
Yep...but he doesn't care, lol. he's got his stocks and NFL boards, so he understands.

He knows of it and calls it my "mommy group" but doesn't know how to access it or my username or password. He doesn't seem to care either.

Oh yeah, he always tells me to "ask the bees!" or "well, what do the Bees think we should do" lol
honeydew / 7916 posts
Yes! Once in a while I think he reads it, especially the blog posts. I don't think he's spying on me but more trying to learn about the world of parents and babies.

He doesn't know the name but he knows I have "my mom's group" that's about all he gets. He knows that I have a lot of you on instagram because I'll show him the cute pictures/videos!

Yep, he knows. I've linked some articles from here to back up safety and feeding decisions. With my husband, providing a links is the way to win an argument, so the bees have been helpful with that. I also mention stuff anecdotally to him as LO is in the same age range as other bees.

he does but he doesn't know the name hellobee I don't think. I call it various things like "my boards I like to go to" "or that parenting website..."
He doesn't get message boards/online communities. He uses some - like video game forums, but he doesn't build relationships with people on them or feel emotionally connected.

@LuLu Mom: My husband said that my Instagram is full of babies and that's bad for my baby fever.

I kind of like that he's not into HB, it keeps me company during my downtime.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
Yep!! He asks what is going on at the Bee. He has even meet two Bees, their DH's, and LO's
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
Of course! He thinks it's good when I talk about my friends I've met on here and when I send him cool things I found through HB. He doesn't like it so much when I tell him about drama-filled posts. Those days he asks why I go on sites like this. 
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
Heck yea he does! He knows I get all my advice from y'all and when I have a question he doesn't know the answer to, he tells me to ask y'all! Google doesn't even really exist when it comes to DS. hahahaha!

@mrskc: this!
He definitely knows about it, and sometimes when I'm stressed, he'll say, "why don't you take some time and Hellobee?" I'm a lucky lady 
honeydew / 7283 posts
yup! When we're not sure what to do with something regarding M he'll suggest that I "ask the internet"
nectarine / 2054 posts
Oh yes, he is an Apricot. I think he had more posts than me at one point in time!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22276 posts
Yup!! I talk about HB often enough, and he has access to it from my laptop (I keep a tab for it), so maybe he browses when I go to bed hehe
pomegranate / 3275 posts
Sure does and he stalks me on it ::waves hi:: (but not in a creepy controlling way, more in a he has nothing better to do with his time)
pomelo / 5326 posts
@MamaBehr: hahah your post made me laugh!
My SO knows all about it! I'm not sure if he reads my posts or not but I wouldn't care if he did. We often talk about posts and sometimes I'll hand him my iPad and say "Hey check this out!" Usually I just want him to read the OPs post, but he likes to then read all the replies too. HB leads to great conversation sometimes! Like when someone asked about leaving a child in a cabin on a cruise ship..... We discussed that at length!
cantaloupe / 6171 posts
yep! he has a music-related board he used to post to all the time, and still does occasionally, so he gets it.
nectarine / 2936 posts
Yep, I talk about it a bit, but I definitely wouldn't want him poking around over here!
coconut / 8681 posts
Oh definitely. He's knew about WB back in "the day" and has known about my "online friends" since haha. It's been...over 3 years!
blogger / eggplant / 11551 posts
Oh yea. I mention HB all the time to him! And on IG, when people "like" a photo he's always like... "who's this?", and I'll say, "oh... that's my friend from Hellobee!"
Well geee... now that I typed all that out it sounds silly huh!
@Beehive: Hahaha, he's an apricot!! Nice!
