Hi Folks, 

Just to clear things up a bit.  Angieh is a Minti employee not a regular member but still a regular person like all of us at Minti 

This Q&A post was more as a suggestion or encouragement to try to get the Q&A section more focussed on parenting and raising your kids - it is not trying to police anyone or force you to post into areas where you feel you will not get an answer.

On reflection I am sure we could have expressed this a little differently and I would like everyone to use the Q&A section as they like, bearing in mind that we would really appreciate attention towards parenting issues as much as possible    

There is a huge "grey area" which sits at the boundary of parenting issues and we are pretty open in our interpretation.

So... don't hold back - and particularly if you feel you are not getting a direct answer to your query in other parts of the site then come here and post you query - let the conversation continue !

all the best

Matt

BrightonBelle I didn't even know that these other groups existed and to be honest I don't think trying to police Q&A is such a good idea ( I know from experience) and I feel that if non parenting questions are causing such a problem (????) then it should be down to Rachel, Clay or Matthew to be suggesting we use other ... http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/391787/relationships-and-body-issues-groups-not-a-parenting-question//#392728 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/391787/relationships-and-body-issues-groups-not-a-parenting-question//#392728 Fri, 18 May 2007 00:40:20 -0700 Q&A rach I agree with every1 really.

I enjoy reading and if i can giving advice in the Q&A. i dont really wont to go into a special group for everything. i dont get much time on the computer each day so its easier for me to just go straight to Q&A and read all different problems others have. Sometimes i to have that same problem, the advise that has been given for that Q then helps me as well. If i had to go into different groups to view all different Q, sorry but i just dont have the time in my normal day. I to believe that children sense everything through their parents, this site has been a life saver for me since finding it a short time ago. please leave it how it is.

This is really hard as some questions/ideas would be better off in a blog or in a particular group but there are also questions/ideas that really need to be in Q & A whether they are parenting/child related or not.

If the person is frantic or stressed about something then I don't see a problem with it being in Q & A, as that's where they are more likely to get a better response.

Maybe another section needs to be made on the Homepage for miscellaneous.......just a thought........

Yes there may be ... I would like to add that if we are not happy in our selves  or a problem in our marriage /relationship and have children, I do believe it is then a parenting issue ,because the children no matter how small ,even babies sense  and know when the parents are tense and upset about something and can suffer too.

Yes there may be some Questions that may not relate to parenting but as some newer members aren't quite sure where to ask such questions ,and to know that a question is going to be noticed  and answered the best place is Q&A.I know I have put things in my blog and have not even been visited and  when I want a now answer when I have  real problem whether it be direct parenting that is where I think it is best place to put it.Also not everybody who needs help are able to use a computer  as well as others and in sheer desperation have just tried to find a site where they might be able to recieve advice on particular problems they are having at the time.

I think sometimes unless you have been a long time member and have gone up the ranks  of popularity you become invisible to some people  and in Q&A you get  more of a response to a question if it is placed there rather then in your blog or in a group.

Nobody has to agree with what i have just said ,as these are just my personal thoughts and opinions and things I have noticed  since becoming a member since Feb this yr.

People are more than welcome to use their own personal blogs for questions as well. Not all the Q&A posts do tie in with parenting. Some of these groups are groups that people have made themselves. The groups used to be quite active before Q&A was added to the Minti website.
