This one’s my favorite, from the thread “Someone please tell me it will get better.”

Hopefully I’ve copied the link correctly. The current 1st few days with baby is invaluable & gives us all hope that one day we will be there too. Each experience is different & may be of benefit to us when gotcha day finally comes.

Okay I want to just draw this back to the original idea. It wasn’t to create a second project of redoing all the room which would be a good amount of work for RQ, but it was to nominate your favorite threads. Remember also that RQ does all of this in her free time and I would guess it would be a major pain in the rear to sort through all of the threads and move them into even more specific rooms. (or maybe the thought just seems tedious to me- ha ha)

Treechaser - see the forums under “Q&A” that is for the Chinese culture questions. Lots of stuff already in there.

And on that note, I nominate one of my own threads:
P-Mates for the WIN!

I think that sorting though all the Travel Tips and putting those into different sections like packing, airline, restraunts, hotels etc. would be very helpful.

Book Threads about China or set in China. Great for the long wait. I have read a lot about China culture and I am saving the child care stuff until I get closer. It was a downer for me to try to read that stuff too early.

Here is one of a several good posts on books. Someone mentioned a long wait and wanting to learn. There are many good books mentioned. I have learned so much from them and find them fascinating. By the way, I loved River Town.

That sounds great! It’ll get me to stop whining about the waiting time… A book/film club would be really interesting. I’ve started reading a lot and have some great books to suggest and would love to read some more.

Another idea for this could be: how will you raise a child from another culture and/or how do you incorporate your child’s culture/background into your daily life.

Great idea,but not sure about calling it Hall of Fame?? Newbies may not know what it contains & may not navigate through all RQ has on offer to gain from it’s content. Could we get people to suggest alternative names like “Reference Centre’ or ‘ A-Z of IA, ‘Hot Topics”, “Everything you always wanted to know…” etc ? .

I’d include a thread where people are voicing their insecurities about things like their age when baby comes, will they be a good 1st time parent etc & see what the responses are as many have these feelings but don’t voice them.

‘Hall of Fame’ sounds like it should be full of the gorgeous monthly referral pics.

Just a thought , I’m in marketing

Thwarted! I think tons of us would have suggested the CUSSING THREAD! :) Alas…

But seriously now, I think this is a great idea!
