i wrote a post in general social chat asking for advice on how to approach my neighbor offering help. it was moved to relationship and communication, and im not sure i agree with that move. the post was very light hearted, and it seems like the people who go to the R/C forum are posting and talking about more serious things. im afraid i wont get any advice because the people who go to that forum are looking to discuss much heavier matters than me and my neighbor and her baby. can some one explain to me, specifically, why it was moved there?

thanks

The new place is right. I've been thinking about your orig question. Why not just introduce yourself and hang out? Make it clear if you're looking for a babysitting job or volunteering, if money is an issue, esp for her? Think ahead of time about what kind of time commitment you might be willing to make. Then again, you don't know if you will get along with the person. I tried something similar with a lady in our building, just being neighborly, I thought. I think it's very sweet of you.

it would definately be free, at least for while. i mean, i would/could do a few evenings or a few days during the week for free, indefinitely. but if she wanted to take up more of my time it may or may not cost. it would just depend. but thanks for the advice i suppose i should bite the bullet and approach her. the worst that would happen is she says no and i get to keep my free time lol. thanks again

hankster is correct - it was moved to the right place. And I answered over there.

krazi_krista--

Welcome to PC. Just wanted to try to answer your question. Your post that you made was moved to Relationships and Communication Forums as it is about communicating with your neighbor and also the relatiosnship that is there. Posts are moved to the forums that will give you the support you are looking for and deserve.

Posts are also moved because there are different forums so that not everything ends up in one forum and they are easier to see by members who frequent there and can relate and give you support, encouragement, ideas, and help that often times they have had experience with, gone through themselves or have often seen through others they have known or whom they have helped.

Sometimes it is hard to know where to post as there are so many different forums. You did nothing wrong at all. If you ever have any questions as to where a post should go please feel free to PM any one on the Community Team and we will be glad to help you. Sometimes looking around the forums and seeing where others post things can help.

Again you did nothing wrong. We want you to get the support you are looking for and deserve. Hope this helps.

dps
Thanks for this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
