Wait. All it takes to get everyone to come back is a UO? Everytime I miss peeps, now I know where to put my bat signal.

Hey ladies!

Hey, girl, hey!!!

Rogue237

PS it's always been a goal in life to have my own bat signal

You're not dumb girl. Don't care so much about what people think of you. Except me. I'm really important.

It's not people, it's Jelly. I know we're not super close, but I like her. I'm also worried now that everyone else is going to come back all riled up and be mad at me when I even didn't say anything hateful against them.

I'm not riled up. We are friends on Facebook and Instagram though, as I assume you are with a lot of people that don't participate regularly on here though, so I don't really get why you'd say what you did in UO. Doesn't really make sense.

I think it more comes from a place where Kendra made it blatantly clear that the coco's have moved onto their own Facebook page to talk regularly and haven't been here at all. Your not exclusiveness became very exclusive.

What @ImnAtari‌ said. The people who talked with me most on here, I'm friends with on Instagram and FB too. It's especially funny because @edoliesmom‌ is one of those people. FB is easier to sneak in at this point than the bump. I'm happy to connect with people there that I talked with here, but I didn't really feel anyone had a gaping hole in their heart without me haha

Yo, I don't know why I feel like I have to justify my disapearance... but honestly it was nothing personal. 1. they took away my office at work so I couldn't be on my phone all the time, 2. I was consumed by "checking in" and that was stressing me out and taking away time from goomba, and 3. my phone got full and I had to delete the app... I've kept in touch with people who I connected with off the board, that happened to be the girls involved with glynncoco and one or two others that I've met in person. Honestly, I never felt like I was super active or that exciting anyways...

None of you have to explain yourselves or answer to us. At the end of the day we all have real lives that come first. Do we miss you all? Yes! Are we confused about the level of exclusivity? Yes. Does that change the way we (speaking for myself alone here) feel about you based on your time spent here? Absolutely not! We miss you guys... That is all

edoliesmom

What @deidremaria‌ said!

@ImnAtari‌! I forgot you were even part of GC. lol There were so many of y'all! I had prefaced my original UO by saying that I understood people get busy and natural drifting occurs over time and that was NOT what my thread was about, so I hope you didn't feel the need to explain your disappearance because of me.

I guess at the very least I'm glad my hurt butt got everyone to come back for a few moments.

lokimau

I just think it is amusing for all these people to suddenly pop back in to justify why they left and to make @edoliesmom‌ feel bad about voicing her opinion.

edoliesmom

I don't want this to be like there are sides or something. That is actually the opposite of what I was originally trying to say. I just want us all to be one big happy family again! (Mad that the overdramatic cry face has stopped working, because I would put it here if it was.)

Bluebird2318

I am just...really confused. For me personally I do check in on people on FB way more often because my time is limited and I already check FB anyway because of family, so it's not an extra website to visit. However, my friend list is not even remotely exclusive to "Coco"s, so I don't understand that part.

ETA: And it is still not an exclusivity thing. The GlynnCoco profile @edoliesmom‌ referenced as an exclusion is not even a "group." Not all of us feel comfortable having a personal FB profile so one was created so that those of us not okay with making a personal account could still log in and see everyone else's photos (because our profiles are friends only). They still wanted to be able to keep in touch with us and see our photos, just like every other non-"Coco" on our friend lists can (including Edoliesmom) while remaining personally private. And given that, I think it's very inappropriate that it was brought up at all.

deidremaria

I really wanna hug @edoliesmom‌ right now. I hope you aren't blaming yourself for all this.

Bluebird2318

I can see that but I just don't think some of that is fair. They say "check with my GC girls" because we are Facebook friends and they know that's the easiest way to get a message from A14 to them. It is not a clique thing in a sense that none of us consider our friendship an extension of A14. We met on A14, that's it. They are some of my best friends. I LOVE those girls. It has zero to do with them being former A14 cool kids. Being criticized for having an actual bond with someone is awkward.

My husband and I met on a video game. Our marriage has ZERO to do with that fact except that we happened to meet there. Same concept. It's like saying our marriage is unfairly excluding everyone else we played that game with. It's weird. (I realize comparing friendship to marriage is a large leap, but the general idea is the same.)

Wait, who spoke on my behalf? Did I miss something?

Whenever someone would mention that someone was missing or that they missed Piney or that Jellysparkles haven't been around in a while, Kendra would come out and say that they were taking a bump break, that they were good or whatever else what they were up to. She also been told everyone that you guys (Glenn Coco girls) had your own Facebook group, this made it seem like the group as a whole lot more exclusive then just an inside joke. She may not meant it that way but it came off that way. This is in conjunction with the label some of you out on yourselves "I pph my gc girls" if you need to find me call the "gc girls". This isn't my monkeys in the circus, I honestly don't care since I can and occasionally do talk to the people I want to but I just don't think it's fair that edoliesmom get called out like she pulled it all out of her ass.

Honestly I don't know about any of that, so I can't really say anything, but I do doubt @KendraColeslaw‌ meant it that way. One last time for the records, I am IG and FB friends with many others outside of coco, so if anybody wants to find me, it's easy.

kseccomb17

But so you have a secret/private gc group? If yes then it's different. If no then it was a misunderstanding.

I explained the profile in question a few posts back. We posted at the same time so you might have missed it. Check up yonder.

Short version: EM said she saw a secret " group". She didn't. She saw a fake PROFILE made so that the couple of us who do not want to share our personal info with FB could log in and see our photos, same as any other A14 person on our lists.

Here's what Vinny is talking about if you need reference: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/comment/85291896/#Comment_85291896 and you have to scroll to the next page to see the part where she tells us about the FB group. Also, I saw on BIRL's IG that y'all had a Christmas exchange with each other, and when I saw that, it made me sad that y'all weren't a part of ours because you probably didn't even know about it. Last year we were all in one together, not having 2 separate ones. Just hurt my feelings a little, and I'm sorry I voiced that. 

@deidremaria Girl, you know I am blaming myself. I'll take that hug.

ETA: @Bluebird2318 I'm sorry I outed the GC FB page. I didn't know its purpose, and I shouldn't have assumed that I did.

deidremaria

I could be wrong but I don't think this is a matter of GC anymore. I think now the issue is @edoliesmom‌'s feelings were misinterpreted

shucks

My ears must have been ringing!

What is new?! How are you guys?

 I'm still living the SAHM life, so it's the same ol' stuff everyday. About a month ago I started applying for administrative jobs. I've never had a problem getting a job before, but maybe because I'm not entry-level anymore, it's a little more competitive - I've only gotten a few responses and they were jokes. I'm battling depression for the second time in my life and it's pretty sucky. This time around I want to fight it with natural supplements and activity. My baby is huge, not 7 months old yet and already 20 lbs! The GC girls are all doing really well. We actually... moved to a fb group. It's just easier to stay in touch with each other, because PM'ing on the bump isn't a maintainable discussion ground.

Maybe she was talking about the profile then? :-/

Rogue237

Pretty sure she just meant that we talk on FB. Lol @ "doubt it" though

Oh no. How come?? There were several pre-owned Rogues at the dealership we were at that didn't have a ton of miles on it (the one we thought about getting had 149mi. on it just from test drives and was a new 2014. So, had been sitting there all year basically.), and it made me wonder why the heck are they being traded in?? :-?

Bluebird2318

People will believe whatever they want to, so it doesn't really matter to me I guess. It's just tiresome. If I had to defend every PM, text, or meet-up I have had with an A14er that didn't include every other A14er I would be menopausal before I finished.

Bluebird2318

It's just that everyone is the center of their own universe and feel entitled to things they have no right to. It's human and I am guilty of it too. But the fact is simply that there are things I will share with certain people and not others. Likewise, I am not privy to anyone else's PMs, groups, meet-ups, etc. unless they want me there and that is how it should be. There was drama with Aviola's group because it was advertised over and over as an RTT group. It was an invitation and yet people were denied or deleted with no explanation. I can see how that's a problem. It's okay to miss people or feel excluded, but you have to be able to acknowledge that sometimes it just isn't your business. I don't care if Vinny and Dani get together on weekends to drink vodka and knit without letting me know first. This whole thing is stupid as hell.
