Any interest in...

Sorry, I voted yes. Of course the more active boards are going to want to stay separate. Whereas the slower boards, yes mine, would like to combine. I see pros and cons to both though. Milestones, cliques, etc.

I do always feel welcome when barging

We do have this area where we can all talk. Maybe rather than combining we could try coming out of our months more here. Then in a few years when a couple months don't make such a big difference we can revisit this idea.

How about leaving the main 3 active groups seperate as they are and would like to continue to be and then combine the less active groups into one group...cuz I like others (seem to be) in the less active groups would like to be part of a more active group probably.

???? I dunno...just thinking of ideas to let the ones that want to keep theirs seperate keep them, but to give a chance to the others who maybe want to have a more active group.

I started a new intro thread for those who would like to branch out of their months.

When I first started at FT about 4 years ago. The ages and stages boards seemed great however as your child aged and grew up to the next board I felt lost in the shuffle. When the year boards were started I really loved the idea. I could chat with Mom's whose children were born the same year that my son was. I have gotten to know many of the ladies on that board well.

Yes there is a large diffenece between a baby born in Jan and a baby born in Dec but its also great to hear what worked for the mommies of the older babies and what didn't work. They've already been through it and might beable to make some suggestions.

Don't dismiss the facts that you can make even more friends combining the boards.
The one thing I've learned here over the years is. people come and go, live gets busy and FT can drop by the wayside not matter how invovled you once were.

Not now.... we have had relationships for over 2 years.. I hate to get thrown in to a big pile and lose touch. it's still nice to follow along as see what our kids are doing one stage at a time. Maybe when they are older IF some of us have dropped out by then.

How would those of you who have said no feel about combining a few months together for now and then eventually becoming one big group. For example.

Jan, Feb, March as one group

April, May, June

July, August, Sept

Oct, Nov, Dec

Would this be more appealing to start? Just seeing what everyone is feeling now that all of our babies are 1 and over.

I like this idea. Jan & Feb already merged, and I barge there, and I also visit April and of course my own, May.
