why do i always seem to be ignored on here??

It's nothing personal - there are so many threads these days that stuff often gets lost very quickly. Try bumping your messages up at a different time of day, so other people get the chance to see them, that might help.

I'm another fan of the trivial stuff, I know that there are more important and more serious things to worry about, buhaving fun is important too, and sometimes it's only the trivial, silly stuff that keeps me sane.

lilsmum - sometimes i read threads but have no advice so don't post but am not ignoring. If u post something I can help with I will reply I promise . When I posted about my dd's sleep I got a mix, one thread just the one person, another one i got quite a lot of replies, it just depends on time of day and who is on. So don't give up on us!

Stick with us as we are friendly

some messages do get lost sometimes.

It also depends what time you post if there is no one who has the same problem or experience as you it may get missed but if it had been posted at a different time will get loads.

It is not personal to you please do not think that.

I agree about trivial crap being good too.

I actually like the so-called trivial crap. After a day of issues re; grandsons parents, etc - I need the trivia to keep me sane!!!

Where have you been ignored? i searched your name and you seem to have had lots of responses? i would say it would probably be mainly people with a similar age child who would post advice so it can be limiting anyway.

and trivial crap gets you through the day sometimes

I just searched on your name and can't find any posts where you've been ignored

have you tried bumping them at more frequent times because sometimes they get lost in the traffic

how many replies do you expect to get by the way?

Hi Lilsmum - I have a DS who is 8 months, so might not be that good at posting things to do with a 10 month old, but if you have any tips for me, please share!

Seriously though, I find I post on subjects I'm interested in and enjoy the site. I don't necessarily get heaps of replies to things I post, but then I think that's probably similar for everyone. Sometimes the most trivial post will grab people's attention (Coddy never expected to get the amount of posts she did for her Chinese takeaway thread, I bet!), other times it just looks trivial and is ignored. Depends who's online at the time, I reckon. Keep posting though

It does take a little while but please hang around - we are a good bunch despite the odd skirmish and flounce,

How about joining the parenting thread for your darling's age? us May mums never stop rabbiting on . . .

Do stick with it lilsmum. SOmetimes get the feeling that I seem to kill most threads that I go on, cause not many seem to reply after I've had my say ... but I'm still around

I know what you mean Lilsmum, and I remember getting into a thread early on about how cliquey the site was. When I was new on here I used to think people were ignoring me. However, I don't post as much as I used to and when I do post I've defo had replies. Just stick with it. I think people tend to converse with the people they have seen around for a while, that's all.

hello lilsmum - it happens to me too - in fact i think it probably happens to a lot of people.

What I mean is if the people around at that time have something to add to your thread.

It depends who is around at the time and the subject.

Don't go, what've you posted. I'll talk to you for a few mins, then gotta cook dinnre.
