Is There a SENIOR Pedia?

I really appreciate the range of topics on this site. It includes everybody from moms-to-be to grannies (that's me, at 63), and subjects from baby sleep and potty training, to dealing with sagging bodies and hemorrhoids. Women of means wondering about hiring a nanny rub shoulders with women whose families are about to lose their homes, and their various concerns and viewpoints are available for all to consider.

Nobody's required to spend time reading about a topic that doesnt' interest them, so I see no harm in posting virtually anything that has to do with being a woman, a householder, and a mother. I even welcome the occasional male voice on this site.

My ONLY wish is that posters would be more specific in their subject lines. How many times I have spent minutes I'd rather not waste opening many requests titled "What would you do?" or "HELP!" How about, "Help with (finding a stroller, potty training, understanding a symptom, removing a stain, etc.)?

I am a younger mom....29 (well almost), but I don't see anything wrong with asking any questions regarding age/health problems.
I took care of my parents for years, and they had a ton of medical issues, I also have a medical background...so even though I am younger I might be able to share an experience with a certain problem based on what I have encountered.
I know there are lots of people on here who have friends/family (or themselves) with medical issues. Don't be afraid to ask, chances are someone can identify with you.
Hope this helps! =)

Oh please join me in uniting with all moms young or old (I'm over fifty myself). I have avoided talking about a few things because some of the younger moms have totally different issues. But I think we could sneak a few in here couldn't we? And I love S.H.'s answer - it is for moms of any age. For instance I had a biopsy done today on my breast and I was a little scared, well and will still be waiting for the results. Didn't seem like the place to throw this in, but well, I'll dive first!
Thanks for being there.

It is for any Mom. Or Grandparent.
Of any age.

There are even some Dads on here.

YOU, are not old by the way.

I know a Mom, that is over 50, and has 2 kids under the age of 9.

Nope, it doesn't bother me at all, I may not able to reply to many post for lack of knowledge but I don't mind. Besides I pretty sure there is moms of all ages in here.

I say try it here as well. There are lots of variety of "moms" on here - anywhere from Step Mom, Mother in Law, Grand Ma, Mommy, Mom, etc.

So I say... ask away!

you should definitely at least try to ask your questions here. I have found there to be all ages on this board. A Seniorpedia IS a good idea though-esp as more computer literate people start entering this stage of life.

I absolutely don't mind if people ask questions that are geared to their specific age group. Ask what you want! I am 32 and I have two close friends that are in their 50's. Their issues are important to me!

I searched for something just like you described, a forum for those of us perimenopausal and menopausal but couldn't find anything so lets just open this up. and as Peg M. says it helps if we are specific in our titles so we can save time by skipping topics we know nothing about.

No! You should ask away! All moms are on here! You never know what age anyone is or what experiences they have had or what field they work in!!!

I'm a younger mom, but I don't see anything wrong with you asking any type of questions on here. In fact, I think you'd find lots of women who would be able to give you help or advice, or point you to a place where you could get more information. I've seen a lot of different types of questions, and a diverse group of women who give responses, so I say go for it! :-)

There's no Seniorpedia that I know of. We just hang around with the sweet young things.

But so many different sorts of questions are posted here that it wouldn't hurt to add a few more! After all, our health does involve our families. And I've never seen any limiting of issues to babies and toddlers; I read posts about high-school and college kids (and occasionally *from* high-school and college kids), issues about money, issues about travel, pets, vacation plans, car models, and - above all - issues about those older people called IN-LAWS!

So bring on the questions. We could start the titles of our unique posts with "Seniorpedia Question..."!

If the Powers That Be for this site want to put their two cents' worth in, I hope they'll add it!

I think it is for all moms and any questions we have. It would be nice if everyone would try to be specific in the title of questions so we don't have to open ones we know nothing about.

im over 50 and my older questions has always been answered. i even posted about hoarding and received many responses.

this a very good site, i have even heard from a male.

Please stay! The young ones will be older some day too and all of us can benefit from the wisdom of 'been there done that' moms like you! Also, keep in mind that the younger moms may have mothers or grandmothers closer to the senior age and might be seeing some of your health issues first hand with their own relatives. And of course those of us in our 40's welcome the insight into what we might face down the road - so please post away!

This is for Moms any mom. Ask away maybe some of us in private practice as healers, naturopaths or counsellors have seen the situation before.
