    I love it here too! The only downfall is I used to spend the time before the kiddos arrived, and nap time to do my homework but now I find myself on this forum instead!! It is definately cutting into my school time but I view it as just as eductional, if not more!! I too, have learned some very valuable hints, tricks, tips and much needed support from being on here! I like a pp wish we could all get together and be friendly in person but this is the next best thing!!! Thank you all!!


    Mommymuffin...we could start a support group....?!? LOL!!

      I really love this site. I obviously don't have my own daycare yet so I'm on all the time if anyone's noticed. LOL...besides while I working at my part time office job while I wait to buy a house and begin daycare. This week I've focused a lot on child care and so happy to be on this site and share my opinions. It's not only daycare related, but I share a lot about my cats too, which are my current children.

      Very supportive friends-without-a-face forum.::

        i met my 2 very best friends on an infertility forum when i was trying to get pregnant with my youngest. we talked a lot of the site, then we friended each other on myspace, then on facebook when myspace started to **** , then we exchanged numbers, and now we talk everyday, take vacations to see each other, it's amazing how the internet can lead you to your friend soulmates!

              I agree, it is so nice to have co-workers that understand. I was an unregistered user for sucha long time and I'm so happy that I officially joined the group.

              You are all GREAT!!!

                    funny how many of you mention friends. I really don't have friends that I hang out with, I have aquantances. (ok I have 1 dcm who I hang out with and so does dh) but other than that its really no one. Do others have the same thing. I have to admit thou, I kinda like it that way, I really don't have time for drama with a friend or going out all the time. I would rather sit on my porch (when its not -23) and watch the cars drive by.

                        I feel the exact same way. I have two gf that I see maybe once every 3-4 months for a drink here and there and I tried mommy groups but when it comes down to it I like being low key. I can come and go as I please on here, no one pressures me to buy something I dont really need and the advice is great. We live atop a hill over looking the valley and Ill join you as you watch the cars drive by your porch as I watch the cars drive by me in the valley below.

                          i love everyone here too. like others have mentioned, its so nice to come here and chat, as my hubby doesn't really want to hear it, and he wouldn't understand anyway.

                          even though i usually stay out of heated debates, i love everyone's different opinions. even if i sometimes think someone may be wrong, its great to see things from a different perspective, and i've learned alot from everyone.

                          thank you ladies!!!! <3

                            I sure missed a good thread yesterday, huh?

                            Put me down for addicted and glad to have it! You all are like my co-workers in the classroom sometimes. I only wish there were more center-based directors to chat with on occasion- it seems like my problems don't always relate here.

                            I feel like I have coffee with you all every morning and it feels way more productive than just 'surfing the net' or whatever. The parents like to come by my desk and I always scroll up so they see "DAYCARE" in really big letters and I don't feel like I'm busted.

                              I agree, I love this forum! I am also addicted during my free time. It is a wonderful outlet for us, and my DH is thankful for it b/c I am usually in a much better mood these days then before I found this forum!

                              You ladies are all so supportive and offer wonderful advice! I know it can get nasty sometimes, but that is common on all internet forums.

                              Thank you for my making my days more enjoyable!! ::

                                I have not been on here long and I love reading posts here.
                                It is nice to have people who understand what day to day life is like with children all day.
