Yep, totally agree. I was feeling the need for mom community strongly back when I joined with a baby and one on the way. I still love the perspectives here, but it's definitely slower. There's also social media that connects me more easily to IRL friends.
Also, as I have older kids now I try to be conscious of not oversharing.
I answered a discipline question on a more active baby board I still lurk on occasion and I got tons of "Will you be my mom?" I felt wise for a moment
I work a desk job now, and this is one of the only things that isn't blocked
, so I find myself scrolling through really old posts when I need to take a mental break.
I'm glad some of us are still around
