Kaitlin'smom replied: to read them I dont always have the time to respond or I dont have anythign to add
luvbug00 replied: I try to answer all of them because my mentality is " you helped me so I want to help you!"
kit_kats_mom replied: I often don't have anything to add or more often than not, I have a nursing baby and since I'm long winded, I'd rather not say anything than have to be succinct. I do usually come back to the ones that I really have something to add to the convo.
ediep replied: I always do that. I read just about everything, but i only respond to things that I have something to add
party-of-six replied: at the risk of sounding like a broken record.... , what everyone else said.
Mommy2BAK replied: If I don't feel like I have anything productive or helpful to say, I usually won't respond. That or I don't have time to respond
jenn3 replied: Ditto!
MommyToAshley replied: I used to try to resond to everyone's post. But, my time has been really limited lately , so I sometimes read and only resond when I have something to add ... but I will often come back later and reply.
CantWait replied: I often wonder why people start a thread and not respond to it themselves...my thought and it's not meant to offend. It could be either for a few reasons 1. They really want to know, and are naturally curious, 2. They want their post count to go up.
I often wonder if the person asking the questions are truly interested in all the responses??
jenn3 replied: Thats actually really interesting! I do all my theratical(sp?) threads because i think of a question and i just want to know what others do/think. Sometimes i just dont have a opinion of my own im just wondering kwim?
ions_momma replied: I usually reply unless I dont have anything to add to it. I read almost all of the posts though.
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I think it's because we're all parents and our time is limited...so unfortunately I often have to skim posts and respond when I can...or out of all honesty, somtimes nothing comes to mind to reply.
MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I usually only respond to the ones I feel I know anything about. But sometimes I just feel like lurking.
