I didn’t mean to upset you. We all do things how we need to do them. There’s really no right or wrong way to do it. I think it just hit the nerve a bit that you asked why we don’t reply despite the fact that you don’t read or acknowledge replies. I guess i took it a bit personal. But we are good.
Hopes suggestion of “subscribed” threads is a good one. Good idea. |

What I try and do with my own longer posts is make much shorter paragraphs - of just a few sentences each. This is what is suggested for writing articles on the web - to make longer content easier to read and digest. What's also nice is when the OP replies to you when you've put great thought into a post for them. I have a hard time sometimes and can take it personally when the OP doesn't acknowledge my post and only just replies to one out of several posts. I am working on trying not to take offense. In my own threads, I try to acknowledge everyone's posts in one way or another. If I cannot reply to every single post, then I try to give hugs and thanks. There's another suggestion for you on your own threads - to acknowledge each person's post with a hugs or a thanks. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes Last edited by Have Hope; Oct 13, 2020 at 12:04 PM.. |

I think you do fine Sarah. You have a lot on your plate. You deserve to vent when you feel overwhelmed.
It’s definitely life changing when you have a baby. When the baby tends to colic it’s very hard on the mother who is often sleep deprived. You are doing your best to try and help your daughter. Last edited by Open Eyes; Oct 13, 2020 at 12:33 PM.. |

I didn’t see you post for a couple days and I was concerned. I’m not on the relationship sub. I do care and I like your posts.

I like your posts, but personally I don’t feel I have too much to offer. I don’t have children and I’ve never been married, so there’s not much I can really respond to. Plus I’m probably a bit too “rarghhhh!”, doom and gloom, “kick them to the curb” right now to offer helpful advice on complex relationships, because of my own issues I need to work on (although I do realise not everyone can/wants to wash their hands of everyone they have issues with!)
I don’t have a problem with your posts in general, though. |

I am completely fine with your posts but often I don't have ideas to help. I acknowledge and admire you as being knowledgeable and being very honest and caring about your daughter in particular. I ask myself what I could I possibly have to say that sarahsweets has not already thought of?
But now in thinking about this I realize that I could perhaps be helpful simply by giving a hug or acknowledging the difficulty of the situation, something along those lines. Perhaps the visible evidence of being heard and cared about would be uplifting for you. |

Everyone wants to be seen and heard. You're not a selfish baby

Only 1 or 2 posters ever reply to my threads and sometimes no one replies to my threads. Who knows why some people's threads garner more responses than others. Who knows. Do I take it personally when I see someone has over 500 responses and I have like, 1, response to a thread I created? Of course I do. But I can't control what motivates people to respond to my threads. So, just try not to take it so personally. At least you get responses to your threads sarah.

@sarahsweets, I’ve read your responses to other’s posts and your replies are well thought out and provide useful information too. Good question and not sure why some posts get more replies than others. Keep posting and it is therapeutic to post your thoughts and feelings too.

There is an ongoing thread of yours about having people over and you actually asked questions on it. People keep coming back posting on it @sarahsweets. I actually wondered how that party went and if you did it
