I usually start off talking to Bee about parenting issues... and if we're stumped, then I'll turn to the Hellobee boards!
I think I am turning to the boards less and less as the kids get older though, as our parenting issues these days seem more unique than our earlier parenting issues (like getting the kids to nap, or figuring out why they're throwing tantrums, etc.).
Who do you turn to for advice with your parenting dilemmas?

The bee

Hellobee, my mom/sister or my good friend. Or sometimes all 3, so I get lots of advice!

Husband and mom friends about equally. We have a lot of friends with kids the exact same age so they are going through the same things. Then the bee.

DH and I try to work it out first, then I call my mom or ask HelloBee. I also ask my mom friends sometimes, but we all have pretty different kids and parenting styles so a lot of the time their advice doesn't really work for me.

Hellobee. I only have two mom friends. They're the best, but sometimes we're all too busy to talk, or I can't talk on them one on one because we're on a play date and the kids are distracting us. DH is unfortunately usually the cause of my parenting dilemmas. Our moms raised us in a very different society and, in my mom's case, with a lot more family help, so they've no clue what we're dealing with.

DH, mom, friends, close coworkers, bee fb group, HB boards in no particular order (though DH is always first!)

Out of my circle of friends, the next oldest child is not even one yet, so not a lot of experience there. Sometimes I ask my mom, but I've noticed that she has a tendency to label things as if I stayed home instead of sending DS to daycare, they wouldn't be problems. So if I think that'll be her response (as it is a lot), I ask hellobee!

hellobee, friends and the internet. Now I am taking an online parenting class I would turn there too.
