Anyone still go here?

I changed my name to something less revealing of my identity but I have sporadically posted her from the start. Just wanted to say hi and see how everyone was doing.

I check in to see if anyone has posted. So still here but not posting about my blended family right now until court is settled. Just in case.

That totally makes sense. I stopped checking but I find myself wanting to ask for advice all the time. I usually ask my BMB but I do not have many members with blended families so I try not bother them. 

Anyway good to see someone is still checking in

If you have questions or need advice post and tag me. I will definitely respond, and I will do the same. Sometimes I want to ask for advice too. Our court was settled last week so I am free to post more.

@meggriffin, Maybe we can get a few lurkers to join in too.

I hope so! I keep thinking that if they advertise like they want to and get new comers they will not post here anyway because the board is so slow. But then again- maybe it will be less intimidating.

xctsclrx, I hope things turned out well.

Things could have gone better but they could have gone worse so I am not complaining too much. Sadly at the end of it we were not upset with my husband’s ex or her lawyer but with my SMIL. She did some things that can't be forgiven so my son just lost two of his grandparents. Sucks but I think he will be better off not knowing her.

Hey guys, so late but I do check here every so often!

It's too bad there aren't more of us hanging around the board for blended-family-specific support, but I do think there are a lot of blended families on the Parenting board, you just have to be brave and post a thread and they'll come out. Like the Cloth Diaperers — yes there's a specific board for us, but there are also a lot of us on the Parenting board, just ask and people come out of the woodwork.

CurlieWhirlie, I have done that and found the ladies over there to be very helpful, I just worry I don't post frequently enough to ask for too much advice.

Eh, I don't think anyone over there is keeping tabs on who is posting enough for what. I get what you are saying, I feel that way often, too, but I doubt anyone else feels that way.

I almost never post on parenting. I am active on working parents, but only lurk on parenting so I would feel weird about asking for advice.

I haven't checked out working parents- does that board get a lot of action?

[xctsclrx]

It is right for me. We have multiple threads a day and people respond quickly. Not near as fast as parenting, but I can keep up. We don't post on the weekends very often.
