....your account?
Just curious. I just officially requested a cancellation. Will miss you all. but my pregnancy nausea makes sitting here at my computer one of the only things I do. Wish I had the will power to get off the computer, but I'm going to admit addiction and take decisive action. My house needs me, my kids need me. Thanks ladies, you've been a wonderful connection to human life outside of my little world as a SAHM. And apologies to anyone I've ever been snarky with which is rare but has happened.
(I've been on here over 4 years)
nicole p wish I could do it like you do. I've tried taking breaks and can go a few days max. Its something in my life that is out of balance. This is how I'm going to fix it.
I can ask ANYTHING here. I can ask things I would never ask in real life. I take breaks and sometimes feel like I am spending too much time, but I learn so much about others here.
I only WISH there was a Mamapedia when I was a first time mom - always frazzled and sleep deprived. Sharing what you know with others, knowing you make a difference, is not a bad thing. Neither is being connected to the rest of the world. You will be missed.
I take months off, then come back for a few weeks, then stay away for a few months. It goes in waves. I wouldn't cancel my account though. I'd just not visit this site until I was ready again because when you do feel ready to come back, you'll have to go through the hassle of recreating your account. It's good to have the account available just in case you have a question you need help with.
Personally, I don't have a group of girlfriends to talk to about a lot of this mom stuff with. You guys are it.
I know I spend a lot of time here, but I don't consider it wasted. I learn a lot.
I'm with some of the others - you're stuck with me. I work in an office where it's just me and the boss and he's not here a lot so this keeps me from feeling lonely.
Good luck to you and your family in all that you do!
Hi jane-
No...never considered it for me...
I take 'breaks' now and again, and do not answer as many questions as I did a few years ago...but once in a while...there IS a question that I feel I am compelled to answer.
I use mamapedia as my 'break' as I attend to other things.
I wish you the best!
We ALL have to do what is right for our families!
best luck!

No, never crosses my mind and not an option. I have been on here for YEARS and you are all stuck with me...snarky comments and all! LOL!
To each her own, I wish you the very best for your future! =)
PA-LEEEEZE don't GOOOOO!
:(
Yup, MzKitty is right- after all these years your all stuck with me too. Don't get me wrong, at this very moment dishes are waiting to be done and I'm sure there's a stack of papers to sort somewhere. For sanity, camaraderie and comfort I think I deserve 15-20 minutes once and a while!
Best of luck Jane- if you find you miss it too much, come back, but maybe bring a timer with you to help limit yourself. :) wink wink!
yes but then I figure I'll just reopen it bc I'll just "have to" look sometime when I'm at work. :)
Oh, sad to see you go!
Wish you only the best!!
awwwwwww, don't leave! You say your pregnancy nausea makes sitting at your computer one of the only things you can do.....
Reconsider.. :)
I take breaks from time to time.
Hint: Parental controls is a useful thing for we PARENTS, too! It can block specific websites.
Ummmmm daily.. HAHAHA
Yes MP has sucked me into its little world and now I am addicted. It is beyond my control.
I completely understand the out of balance comment. I think so too, with me not you :o).
I find myself getting on and getting frustrated when I refresh and nothing new comes up.
Take care of yourself and have a good pregnancy. My husband actually bought me some antinausea medication at one point. But it didnt work. I kept crackers in the bedroom and ate a couple before I got out of bed.

hahahaha, YES!!!!! I actually officially cancelled once but they never did it!! Now I just don't get on that much, I get on for a few days and take several off and it is just pure fun for me now!!! So sorry to hear about the nausea, take care and feel better and congrats on that new baby!
i walk from time to time, but never cancel the account. it's nice to know so many familiar 'faces' will be here when my life settles down and i have time again.
actually, i SHOULD be on a sabbatical right now. i'm way too busy for MP and yet here i am!

S.
Wish you well!
I understand your need. I sometimes think "If I hadn't spent that extra 20 minutes on MP, I could've gotten __ accomplished". But I won't beat myself up over it because sometimes, I just need a break.
Especially after moving, I feel a bit like Nichole P----I miss having a circle of female friends to talk with about "whatever" so this helps me out. I also like being able to ask whatever. But I also respect the fact that you recognize if there's a problem or something out of balance, and care enough to make whatever change is necessary.
Youre gonna miss us! We will miss you. Try setting a timer and stopping when it goes off. After the bbay comes you wont have much choice but to get up and go take care of the baby. I think we all need this site now and then and you never know when you might find the perfect solution to your own problem right here with us. Hope you dont leave. Just gain some control. Happy baby birthing! (o:
lol good luck on your new endeavor!
