Are You Addicted to Mamapedia?

I certainly am! I've learned a lot from this site even after having experienced a lot in my 67 years. This is one place I don't feel old. I love to be around mothers and children and have been my whole life. I miss the sense that I'm a mother too now that my similar age friends are "old" like me. lol None of my friends who are still in my life have children or grandchildren. I have a complicated sense of being old and wise sometimes and young and learning at the same time.

Yes, completely addicted since I joined a few years ago! =) I've actually met a few mamas on here who have become my good friends in real life. I'm not a SAHM, but I love the site too because it helps me connect with so many great moms - I don't have the opportunity to talk to other moms at work (I work at a construction company, LOL). I have received so much wonderful advice here!

I LOVE this website, I am addicted. Even my husband has started to say "Ask Mamapedia" if we have a question about the kids, its hilarious! I have never gotten such great advice and tips as I have on here. Every hospital should recommend this website to new parents after their baby is born!!!!!!

I was on here...from when it was "Mamasource" before becoming "Mamapedia."
Its a fun site... stress reliever... "mommy time'.... commiserating... and just a place to hang out.

Yes, are you starting a 12 step program?

i refuse to admit it.
refuse refuse refuse
like someone else said, this is 'adult' time. well, closest to it.
right?
also, it's a good feeling to know you helped someone with advice, or read about others' going through hard times.
interesting, i have a hard time opening up to a 'live' person, but bottling it all up for years has been taking a toll on me. now i can just put bits and pieces of what i am going through and feels like a brick has been taken off my heavy load.
so no not addicted to mamapedia...not admitting to it at least :)

Actually, I think this is one of the best mom sites out there. I love it!

It is not addiction unless you admit you have a problem. ;) haha. I check it like 3 times a day for those who might need MY advice. lol

Yes, is it a problem? tee hee.

Absolutely - and you don't have to be SAHM to get addicted. I have to restrain myself from checking at work. I've been on for six months or so, and it frequently keeps me up past my bedtime!

Yep. Find myself checking it several times a day. first my aol, then facebook then mamapedia. it is a circle and I can't find my way off lol

Oh Totally
Joined about 6 mths ago .Check it forn a few minutes before work,and about 1-2hrs each night after my son has gone to bed.
Just off to my meeting now--Hello my name is B. and I AM addicted to Mamapedia---LOL
Welcome, hope you have lots of great juicy advise for us.

Yes! I just found it a few days ago and I love reading people's stories and advice. You're all now my best buds! Great job, Moms!!

Totally. The people here are awesome:) I've learned so much from this site and I've become a much better mom. It's too bad our moms didn't have this site while they were raising children. I think that this site is changing a generation of new moms for the better. I recommend it to just about every woman I know....and after a while, they feel the same way I do:)

I just discovered it last week, too!
I think it's a great idea - it's like having lunch with
a bunch of your friends!

So great moms gather here.I hope all the dads are not bad too.Is there Papapedia for them?

I've been on Mamapedia since my son was born 5 years ago. It was called Mamasource then. I spend too much time answering questions and reading other requests. It has been an awesome resource for finding local doctors/photographers/carpet cleaners/mechanic, etc. and MANY other wonderful things have been brought to my life through insightful answers from other mothers on here. I heard about MOMS Club on here, and that has been awesome for me and my kids. I could go on and on and on about the great books I've read because of moms recommending them, websites, local places to go with kids, and on and on.

I've been on here about 5 years I think. I love to see what everyone is thinking and talking about. I don't have many adults in my life either since I'm a 24 hour caregiver.

yup!! worse than facebook!!

Yep... my hubby teases me about it all the time! Its just great being able to see what is on the minds of other moms out there and see the responses everyone gets.

Glad I'm not the only one... lol. :) I've been on for 2 years.

Yes, I am one of the older mommas on here. I do get to see a new side of the younger mommas that was not available when my kids were younger. Keep chatting good to learn new ways to solve old problems.

The other S.

PS I seem to check out what is happening at work a lot (gotta run now).

Love Mamapedia! couldn't have met or meet in the future a better group of folks to help me with things/ share things or give past experience/opinions to.
Addicted? of course this and coffee it's all I ask for......lol

It is soooo addictive... :)

LOL, now that you mention it!
