I mean ok someone asks a specific question, states what they know or are willing to do and people just ignore that? For example every question I ask involving my son as soon as they see he is 1 and still nurses FOR NAPS and BEDTIME. I get tons of quit nursing answers. It dosnt madder what I asked about! I've seen stuff like this on other questions too. I just dont get it! Why cant people just answer the question and if they cant answer it with something helpful then just dont answer? are the 2 points really that important to them?

I completely agree. Some people just want to be judgemental and not give the best advice that they can which is what people come in here for.

Well let me just say that I have not seen your questions. When you are asking them does the nursing have something to do with your question? If so maybe they are telling you to quit nursing because that is the problem to your question. If not then they are probally just being idiots. You can always try re-posting the question and just leave the nursing part out, maybe you will get better responses then.
Oh and I know how you feel. Apparently getting 2 whole points to answer a question you dont know anything about is VERY important to some people. It's really silly. I hope you find some better answers to your question soon :)

I think if you condense your question down to 2 or 3 lines of Additional Comments, you'll get more focused responses. People see the longer comments from you, and that's a cue to chat a bit off topic.
I never post in this category (I saw your question on the main screen.) But I will say that the exact same thing happens in the politics board -- the longer the question or Additional Comments, the more the answerers wander.
Why do people answer when they have nothing to say? Everyone who uses Y Answers asks this! I think kids and teens seem to care about the 2 points, but others who have nothing to say answer because they've clicked on the question. It's as if they answered the phone, and are responding to the caller. In many ways, the Y Answers format of instant posting and short shelf life makes it a cross between a regular bulletin board, IM, and real conversation. When people are talking to each other, they often just say, "yeah", "yeah", answer with non sequiturs or change the subject to one they are more interested in.

I guess on the fun heart side of this, I would ask "What is the question again please?) If you asking if two points is all its about? I would say yes for about 50% of the people out there. That is why there is a three day period to get answers. Just take the advise you need, and throw away the rest. Someone is going to give you the answer your looking for. In fact probably 5 or 6 people will give you the same answer you need. So don't get your stomach in knots about stupid answers. Be thankful that there are people out there that will give you good solid answers. I bet I could have answered 4 or 5 answers in the time it took me to type this. Its not about all that for me. Smile and enjoy the rest of your Sunday....

Wow....how does someone come up with breast feeding and a child becoming a serial killer from it?! Mam, I never saw your post, but I am a NICU nurse and I am very PRO Breastfeeding. I would love to try to help you on your post that you are talking about, please repost it again. I totally believe that breastfeeding is the best method and it is awesome that you are so commited to continue this process. I say continue to offer the breast but start limiting it and decreasing it little by little because there is nothing that the infant is gaining from it at this point in his/her development other than comfort. I have found that 12-18 months is the typical time mom's quit offering the breast, so you are right on track. I am sorry about the recent posts, there is a bunch of idiots on here with no respect and who don't even know what they are talking about.

My son nursed for naps and bedtime, for comfort and I nursed him until he was over 3. you have no Idea the flak I copped over that. Even my so called best friends kept telling me to stop and it got to the point I felt horrible and wouldn't tell anyone he was still nursing.. even though it was just to get off to sleep at night. I'm sorry I don't know what your question was bu there is nothing wrong with a 1 year old nursing for naps. he's a baby and needs the comfort and the milk is still beneficial for him.

I'm sorry to hear people are being like that. Actually this is not an answer to your question. To the woman who said she should wean her one year old, get out of here! This baby is one year old! Why do people insist on making children grow up to fast? I would just try not to put the breastfeeding part in your questions if at all possible. People are just so pig brained sometimes I swear!

Your question was clicked on because someone was trying to help - when they saw how badly you were screwing up your kids and possibly turning them into serial killers they couldn't help but to want to save the community from your serial killer child and tell you to be the parent, grow up, and tell your child that if he/she can ask for the breast they are too old, and that if you can't set limits for your child now - well imagine what they will be like in 15 years, or 20 - a serial killer

Keep on Nursing (sorry I just had to type that even though it had nothing to do with your question)
Yes I received a response that told me I wasn't worthy of having children because they failed to read my question. I think it's about the points.

Breastfeeding is a touchy subject for a lot of people - people will tend to hone in on that topic and ignore the larger issue. Unfortunately, most people (esp in the U.S.) are misinformed about the benefits of nursing, and believe 6 months of it is enough. Add that to a general aversion to breastfeeding caused by the hyper-sexualization of breasts in American culture, and you'll get some truly ignorant responses.
Just ignore them. It's not worth getting worked up about it.
