do you start to reply to a post and then decide not to? Because you can't get the wording right, or you change your mind?
It's not just me, is it?  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I don't often not reply coz I can't get the wording right, but I do often go to reply and think "nah, can't be bothered and someone else has said/will say the same thing anyways"  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I think the reason I can't get the words right sometimes, is I start writing something then think, oh, they might take that the wrong way.. so delete it.. then can't be bothered anymore! It's not so much a problem on here, but on another site I go to, people would often take what I said and nitpick it.. so now I think twice about some things I write ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I change my mind sometimes after I've written it. But looking at my post count you wouldn't think so!  ------------- |

I'm the same. But that's what I love about emails and message boards etc (just thought of a new word "E-communicating"  )
ANYWAYS LOL It's a good chance to mull over what you want to say before just blurting it out. I have chronic foot-in-mouth and often think after I've said something "oh nooooo!!! where's the un-do button"  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I think along the same lines as Emma. Sometimes its like why add my two cents worth when its just the same as what everone else has put. |

| Always I tend to delete alot as I don't want people to read things the wrong way and get offended. |

I do often because I write something and it doesn't look right or is what I want to say. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I do too, I think oh that could be taken the wrong way and delete the whole thing. Some times I do post even if they take it the wrong way if I feel stronglty about it. ------------- Ann

I usually write but then once I've started I can't figure out exactly how to say whatever it might be, which is how my posts sometimes tend to end up as novels. Love reading though! You guys are so helpful and friendly to everyone!!

| Me too - I always think I'll reply to something and then think "wait, these guys might think I'm intruding cos I'm not a mum yet"... I feel a bit bad being a lurker sometimes, but you guys are just so great! |
