[QUOTE="FlowerGarden, post: 683163, member: 3068"] I think many parents of young children do not post because they don't have the time to with working and using social media for pleasure. I work in child care and cannot believe the amount of kindergarten children being dropped off at school at 7:30 in the morning and not being picked up until 6:00 at night. Years ago, we had maybe 1 or 2 kids that age and now we have 20. Many of the parents believe their child can do no wrong and that we must be doing something wrong. They also claim their child is influenced by another child. Many give in to their child because they don't want to deal with the whining etc. You wouldn't believe how many kids ask their parent to let them play on the playground before going home, the parent says "no", the kid whines and the parent says go play. Then the parent goes into their car and is glued to their cell phone while the child is out of control on the playground equipment. I don't post much because of many reasons....my child is older now and we have less problems, I'm working full time now and when I do have the time to come to the board I don't know many of the posters "history" to be able to respond appropriately, most of the people that I knew the histories of are no longer posting, and the tone of the board has changed. I value the advice I have received on this board and am so grateful to have found it. I don't know what I would have done without it. I do wish more of the old timers would come back and just update how things are going. Maybe we need an Old Timers Update section, LOL! [/QUOTE]
