Sometimes I have more then 1..or 2..or 3 questions. Ok somedays I want to ask a lot, some because I really need help in stuff, others because I just need the interaction with grown ups, other because I see a question then it remind me of that question that I keep forgetting to ask, etc. Yes, I have friends but is not the same and probably could no get away to call them as many times as I would like to post, lol.
I many times I have to hold myself and tell me: ok you post already 2, leave the space to the other moms too. Or, ok I have a real question but I also thought about this JFF question and debate wich one to write.
Do I am the only one that does this??
Anyway, do you find annoyed if a mom ask many questions in a day?
The only ones that annoy me are the ones titled HELP!!! and you look inside to find they want to know what brand fabric softener is best or something mundane like that. Now I'm not saying you can't ask an opinion on fabric softener but don't make it look like you're having a crisis for crying out loud! LOL
The number of questions per day is never annoying to me, but the QUALITY of the questions matters.
"Could I be preggers?" again and again and again! LOL
.
The same person posting doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is when the SAME question is being asked over and over again in the same day.
There use to be a limit of only 2 questions a day.
The only time I find it annoying is if a person continually rehashes rants or asks the same question over and over again in a short period of time.
Other than that, I think it's great!
Just For Fun questions are a nuisance (and JFF makes me think of Jiff peanut butter). If it were up to me I'd call them spam.
One person asking a lot of different questions doesn't bother me. One person asking the same question over and over hoping for different answers is a different matter.
The same subject coming up over and over again from different people is annoying. Sometimes I think if I see one more vaccine question I might scream. The topic has been done to death. The site does have a search function but the results of the search are in no particular order I can figure out. I'm not interested in wading through answers from 2008 in order to find a question from last week.
You are too funny! NO.. post all you want. I asked about 5 in a week, and people are here to help. We all need eachother for support and advice. I am here for you too!

It doesn't bother me how many questions are post. It bothers me more when I see post after post of JFF questions. I guess I should be happy though that people are not in need with questions of substance.
The one thing that bothers me more is when someone posts the same question in a different way over and over and over again. If they ignored the advice the first 2 times than I feel I am wasting my breath answering them the third time because I know they'll be posting the same thing again within the month.
No ,it keeps the site alive and kicking.
How can anyone get annoyed!!!
Keep posting. Thats why we are all here.
All the best

I don't mind people posting several questions because I know I do. I get bored at work almost every day and post questions that I think of usually right when I think of them. LOL
Stacey P knows how bored I am at work I think I PM'ed her like 50 times in the last two days. We are going through a tough time together. And she has become one of my rocks! Thanks Stacey P!!!!
I agree with the am I pregnant, should I get them vaccinated, and sometimes the JFF questions. I really don't mind the JFF it just seems that in the last few weeks there has been a ton (just my opinoin though).
Love all of you Mommy's even when you just flat out tell me out it is. I don't hold grudges and you all are helping make me a better Mommy and Step-Mommy.
Never. If people don't want to read a post they don't have to. Post away!
You ladies crack me up! Seriously, I am in my office laughing so hard at some of these responses.....people are looking in trying to figure out what is going on.
No. Anyway, I don't usually pay too much attention to who's doing the posting.
I honestly don't care who's posting the question since all I care about is giving the best answer I can provide. After all, that's what this site is for.
I do think it's a bit much to see three or more questions in a row from the same poster. But yes some of the obvious questions are annoying, and some people should call a doctor not post here! What really bothers me like someone sort of mentioned is when the subject/title of a post is too generic or not related to the question. I don't have time to read every single "help" or "what do you think" post, I prefer them to be more specific so I know if it's worth looking at (ie something I can help with!) and yes I too wish more people would check past posts instead of asking questions that we regulars see every single day, sometimes twice :)
When the site was mamasource, there may have been 10 questions asked in an entire day. I love that they questions are a ongoing. I rarely notice the poster, so if you have many questions in one day, I will not have a clue. Ask 10 a day if you need to. This site helps me with so many things, and I often want to ask a few, but I hold back for some reason.? I dont know.
I actually don't think I've ever been annoyed by that.
I'll admit I've been annoyed at some of the questions, or some peoples viewpoints. But I never voice that.
Everyone has a right to their opinions and ideals.
This site is meant to answer questions...
ASK AWAY!!!
No-I don't think I would even notice. WHile were on the topic though the thing that does annoy me a wee bit is the JFFs.
Oh-and the how do I work from home questions. They are the only ones that I have stopped answering because a. its asked almost every day and b. it literally takes one minute to do a google search that will bring up many legitimate companies out there. Several time I have answered these posts with links but have stopped because it is something that can easily be found by a board search.
I love that you asked this, I am soooo addicted to this site and really need to go get some real friend because as this point there is no one i can call up at 4 in the afternoon and ask how often they do their laundry and vent about how hubby just did the most annoying thing Again, and aks for good book recommendations and how old kids should be for i let them wander around the Fun Fair at school with their buddies.
I say ask as much as you want but i beg everyone to be specific with their titles, Help and I need Help are not decriptive enough for me.
Not at all! This is what this site is for! The most questions I have posted in one day is two. However, I am sure I will beat that record of mine come the summer and looking for things to do with the kids!
I say, POST AWAY!!
There is nothing wrong with asking too many questions. Isn't that what this site is for?? LOL!! Ask all you want! Post on!!!
One mom asking several questions doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes thinking goes that way - you post about one thing, and then you think of several more questions. People don't have to ask one question and then wait their turn to ask another one, which is good! Is it possible to post a question and have it turned down for lack of space??
I dont think there is anything wrong with posting more than one question... post on Chica!!
I think it's fine. I understand that sometimes, we moms are very busy and when we have the time to post questions, we might have more than one.
I think what does annoy me is when someone posts a question, and when they don't like the answers, they re-post it to elicit the answers they do want. It's only happened a few times, but it's a bit much.
Nope. Glad to be of service when I can:)
M.
no, because I don't usually pay attention to who's who. All i see are questions. I noticed it one time, it did annoy me because the questions were lame. But if someone has legitimate questions they need advice on then that would not bother me.
I NEVER get annoyed.. the thing about any site is , you read what you want and leave the rest. I think if a person posts many questions , then perhaps they need to talk and figure things out. no harm in that. I say if you want to post, then post away.
It's not annoying at all! I completely agree with Hazel, though, when she commented that it's annoying to see people repost if they don't like the answers they had been given.
Ask to your heart's content!
I don't mind it at all unless it seems like someone's spamming or joking on the board. I don't bother with the JFF questions unless the title is REALLY interesting - mostly I consider them boring. Heck, if a mom needs help, that's what we're here for :)
No, I don't get annoyed. I probably won't notice, actually, unless I respond to all of them & she sends me flowers for all of my responses!
I don't even look at the names, so I never notice.
I don't care. I do second-guess whether I should post however. I'm always a little nervous about am I posting too much stuff, is it common sense that I should know what to do, but I find people here are nice most of the time and give good advice.
Hmmmm....I thought we were limited to two per day. It seems like I"ve been given an error to that effect before? Maybe that was a long time ago.
I don't always even look at the names, so I probably wouldn't notice. If the tone was rude or something and there were several, I would take note of the author. The topics are what get my attention.
I don't ask that many questions....
I typically don't pay attention to the names, i pay attention to the topic.
The only time I get annoyed is when people ask the same question 5 different ways....
I never look at who post a question
Never feel annoyed about questions. Any of them. Only wish I could help with all of them.
Not at all! I love tons of questions to browse, and I like pitching in my perspective and hearing others' thoughts. Although sometimes I don't like seeing the same type of post over and over (am i pregnant, etc)...I find that the search bar is very helpful in finding similar previous questions (I use it a lot), so I wish some would check the past before posting.
I don't care. Post all you want. The only thing that annoys me is when someone is judgemental or rude. We are all moms who are trying hard to take really good care of our kids, and we should all respect each other even though we have differences.
I LOVE the just for fun question. Alot of them have some really funny stories. I am all for helping other moms, but sometimes this board is the only social interaction I get with grown ups all day (my hubby works all day two jobs and my friends are at work, so I cant call them) so its nice to have "questions" that are on the lighter side
No. However, I do agree with you that sometimes you should hold yourself back a little if your asking more than 3.
Ask away, knowledge is power... wish I had a web site/friends to get advice from when my children were small.
no, I dont get annoyed at things that are harmless. I HAVE noticed you ask quite a bit of questions. it doesnt annoy me, its leads me to believe you just like the feedback, and like to discuss things out.
I DO get annoyed at the very few here on mamapedia who feel they have to complain about every little nuisance in the mamapedia guidelines, or make fun of someones question.
I have no problem whatsoever with multiple questions from the same person in a given day. I do it sometimes, and I don't mind at all if others do it.
I say that is what these boards are for ... post away!!!
Glad you asked because sometimes I feel the same way!! I dont mind if someone asks alot of questions!
nah, I don't care. I go forever and don't post at all and then ask three in one day :D it doesn't bother me at all.
i feel the same way...sometimes i get addicted and start acting as if i can't make any decisions w/o coming on here first - lol! no, but i totally feel ya' so you're not alone. and i try not to ask too many at once b/c people WILL call you out on that. :) but no girl, you see your responses, we all love reading through everyone else's opinions & stuff, obviously we like it, so post baby post! i will! :)
ask away :) no bother at all!!!
No. Honestly, don't really notice WHO is asking what. I do notice who answers sometimes, based on answers I like or hate.
One day I asked 2 questions back-to-back. Then thought of a thrid, but mamapedia wouldn't let me. They have a 2 question per day rule, but maybe that has changed? No, it doesn't annoy me at all! I also have lots of questions to ask, so ask away!
I agree with getting annoyed at repetitive questions, but at the same time, I've tried to search for a question I saw recently but never with any success, so I guess I understand another mom having to ask again. I wish there were a way to tag a question so you could get a notification when an answer hits. Feel free to ask as many as you want, though. Sometimes I have a lot, too.
