10 post for classified access

[J. Swartz LLC]

I'm a little confused. Do I need to START 10 new thread such as I'm doing here, or do I just need to comment on 10 thread and they can be someone else's, to gain access to the classifieds. Thanks

Try not to be the guy that only comments to get access to classifieds. Try to be a contributing member to the community. Access to the classifieds is a bonus.

Just my personal recommendation

True dat.

When I see accounts/sellers who only sell I am less likely to buy from them.

I'm not sure. I don't thinks so. I haven't done to many comments yet. Dont want to comment just for the heck of it. So been looking through post that I actually can contribute to. Or have a genuine question. I assume I'll get a notification when it does happen and that has not happened yet.

Im in the same boat. Can we not do fresh posts but respond to others classifieds before we hit the posts and days?

this is even worse than commenting nonsense on your own thread

The low comment count on your profile suggests you arent the most active on here with the number of months youve been a member. Youd think lurkers would want to just respond to other lurkers questions about how to lurk so they can avoid peoples opinions, but i guess not. Also would you rather a new thread get started for every new member so the forum gets jammed up with nonsense, rather than a question be asked about rules in a thread about the topic i have a question about? If someones talking about a scope and i have a question on said scope should i start a new thread for my question that relates to their post? I know the way forum egos work, im fresh so if i comment on any thread with personal experience or opinion itll be scrutinized because im a new member so i just wanted to avoid any of that and enjoy what info there is on here while saving some money on used equipment(have an infant so saving money is much appreciated these days when possible), that so bad? Ill catch up to your 78 messages when i have more time on my hands

Your over thinking it. Just respond to other threads in a reasonable manner.

I have a 3 yo, 1 yo, and another on the way. I understand wanting to save money. I also use the classifieds. I’m also a new member and try to mainly comment on things that I feel like I have something to contribute. I don’t get caught up in post count or any of that stuff. I feel like you may be over analyzing all of this stuff including my comment. Everyone isn’t gonna be out to get you. My intention is not to offend, just to point out that commenting on random classifieds isn’t contributing. I could have been a little more constructive with my comment. People are gonna be less likely to interact with someone on the classifieds when they see that that person’s only intention on the forum is to use the classifieds since that is often what scammers do.

I’ll also add that I’ve never had a single negative interaction with anyone on this forum over being a “new guy,” so don’t worry about that

I was also probably a bit sensitive in my response. Sleep training the baby and running on around 2 hrs of sleep a day, so im not my best at the moment. God bless with 2 little ones and another on the way, theyre amazing but i dont think my wife and i would get by with that many. We are currently trying to figure out if we have what it takes to give him a sibling, which i think its gonna be a yes. Was a rough delivery which makes it all more challenging and nerve racking. I do look forward to being a part of this forum though. Op, sorry to go off on your thread, this took a turn you probably werent expecting

Best of luck. It’s overwhelming at first, but you get the hang of it, and you’ll be surprised at how manageable multiple kids can be. It seemed easier by our second, although now when one of them spends the night at a grandparent’s house, we’re shocked at how easy one kid is. Like everything, you adapt and overcome. Before you know it you’ll be able to take them hunting with you. This last season I took my oldest son out (he was 2 at the time) at least 5 times for archery whitetail on public land. We finished off the year getting a doe and with him becoming very good at sitting quietly and enjoying the experience. They learn quick when you take them out early. The first few times it seems impossible, but we got to the point where he was able to tolerate about 6 hours of sitting, which is also about the max that I can tolerate.

You got your 2 y/o to sit quietly for 6 hrs? You sir are a magician!

Not that this forum is for telling people how to raise their kids, but the key is absolutely zero screen time for the kids (we don’t even have a TV in our house) and also minimizing our screen time as parents, especially around them.

When we go out, I’ll bring him plenty of snacks and a couple of his toy trucks so he can dig in the dirt. Then you’ve just gotta bring them out often and make it fun. He’s already excited to go out next year and is practicing shooting his bow.

Have two families that we are grandparents to, one with minimal screen time, the other with maximal, differences in the children are obvious even allowing for genetics.

That's amazing. Screens have largely changed childhood for the worse. Glad I grew up without them. And leading by example is important.

My concern is as the kids transition into the world of screens in school. How to keep them from falling off the deep end.

Yes, my wife and I have both been all about it from the start, and it’s amazing how many people are unaware of the terrible effects screen time has on their kids. And it’s no better if the parents are sucked into their phones all the time around them too. A common thing I hear is that it allows the parents to get things done since the kids are entertained, but that exemplifies the entire problem. If you do no screen time from the start, you’d be amazed at how well kids are able to entertain themselves with their surroundings. I have a lot of friends who just let their kids watch screens all day and wonder why their kids seem to have a lot of social, emotional, verbal, and motor delays. Getting them off of screens is totally doable, it’s just like breaking any addiction though. Now, sorry for completely derailing this thread.
