  10. Why do I receive requests from other members to join my network?
    MommyTalk.com is an online parenting community primarily made up of similar people, parents that have children. Seeing as our online parenting community shares common interests, members can search the site for people that share those interests. For example, a couple with twins might search MommyTalk.com for other couples with twins. If your profile happens to mention that you have twins, you could be pulled up in their search. If you don't lock your profile, they could have instant access to your account and they might send you an invitation to join your network and share parenting advice and parenting resources. If your profile is locked, they can still send you an invitation to join your network because you have similar interests. You can review their profile and decide if you want to meet new friends. You can also do the same and search MommyTalk.com and invite others to join your network.
  11. What if someone is bothering me on MommyTalk.com?
    If someone is bothering you on MommyTalk.com, delete them from your network. If you are not happy with someone that you have invited to join your network, you can go to the "Manage Friends" and delete them so that they no longer have access to your profile page. If you feel that someone is abusing the MommyTalk.com service, feel free to go to the "Contact Us" section and report that user to us.
  12. What is a blog?
    A blog is very similar to a journal. You can write daily comments on what you or your kids have done, talk about your experiences, how your day was, give parenting advice, offer parenting resources, almost anything. You can invite members of your network to join and view your blog. They may also contribute to your blog by replying to your blog. It's a great way to keep the people that matter most to you updated.
  13. What is a forum?
    A forum on MommyTalk.com is an online chat room, usually dedicated to specific topics. MommyTalk.com and its members have, and will, create forums for the entire online parenting community. These online chat rooms help the members to meet new people and discuss specific topics with other members. From getting parenting advice on raising children to swapping opinions on the best TV shows and telling people about the great parenting resources you found, forums are a fun and informative way to express yourself, meet people and get great advice.
  14. What are groups?
    People that share common interests and/or activities can create a group. These groups have a Forum and Message boards to help its members talk to each other. Once you create and/or join a group, that group will then be listed and accessible on your profile (you have the option of not showing this on your profile as well). For example, you could create a Desperate Housewives group to discuss the latest happenings on the show. Other MommyTalk.com online parenting community members might want to join your group, if they share that similar interest. It is the group creator's job to decide who may and may not join. The group creator can also block people from joining the group, drop current members and invite others to join. As a member yourself, you have the option of dropping out of the group at anytime.

    Groups are a great way to find people with similar interests and have more fun and communication on our online parenting community.
