REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES

winja by winja Talking Back(August 2nd) (rank 52nd)

ive been discussing with a friend how i would love to see some more advices on here written from life experiences.

i often read peoples blogs and wish they would write an advice on how they dealt with the things they have, not the textbook stuff, i can find

that anywhere i want to hear how THEY did it, how they dealt with things, how they felt...

when something happens to my baby i want to hear if it has happened to someone else and i often do in Q and A but not in the advice section?

the things i find most comforting on minti is when something happens to my kids that id like to find out more about i find an article that someone has written from their own experience, what advice they were given, how that worked, any complications and the outcome good or bad because it gives me something to go with.

insight into other peoples problems can be very helpful and calming, it can also give you a clearer understanding on how to deal with your own problem or how not to deal with it.

an advice about diseases or complications that a person has suffered through or had their children suffer that can be prevented spreads awareness and understanding and can quite possibly save lives because someone who is about to do that same thing or wouldnt normally notice can be given the information they need to check things out furthur or avoid it altogether if possible.

ok so this isnt great advice! haha

my advice is to open up to the minti community and share some of your own experiences from your heart.

also, take a look around you and look at the members online and ask yourself what you would REALLY like to hear about from them and what they have shared in their blogs and Q and A then perhaps ask them if they could share their story? they might not know that someone would be interested in hearing about it....

Re: REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES

Excellent advice... I totally agree with what you had to say... I came on MINTI for help, which was given to me by hearing what people had to share about there experiences and it did help me. Much better than reading text book articles as those people have not really experience whatever you are seeking. People may or are in similar situations that you are facing but there experiences are all unique and it is good to compare in a way to what you are experiencing.

Great advice Nat.  This is what Minti is all about.  We can all do research but to get first hand personal experiences is a unique quality of the advice on Minti.  Thanks for the reminder.

Re: REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES

This really is great advice!! It would be good for people to write about how they have helped their kids when they have found out the problem. I was going to write my labour story but i dont want to scare people lol...

Re: REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES

Yes that would be great It's always interesting to know how people cope with problems other than looking up on the internet Maybe there are lots of people who aren't familiar with going on the net but can manage reading personal blogs

Hope you know what I mean

Love Pauline
