vent about TTC board

MelissaMiso

This really is minor but I'm going to vent anyway. I completely understand putting warnings (e.g. child mentioned, loss mentioned, etc) in the titles of posts put on TTC After Loss or Trouble TTC boards; that makes total sense to me. However, I find it really irritating that they ask you to do this in the straightforward TTC boards. Plus, those that are really struggling can be a trigger by reading even the mention that you already have a child in the title of your posts. I'm not talking about being an insensitive A-hole but I want to be able to just talk about my needs and struggles and successes without have to walk on eggshells about every single thing I say. I never went on the TTC boards with Sophia because I was already prego when I found the bump. Please say I'm not the only one that feels this way (or you can tell me I'm an insensitive A-hole. That's okay, too. No need to censor yourself with me.) Okay, mini-vent done.

I'd find that silly too! If you're on a ttc board your going to be talking about having kids!

I know which board you are talking about since I still lurk over there and was active there when TTC (along with the IF boards).  I tend to agree that on boards not specifically dedicated to IF issues, the warnings shouldn't be necessary, but I think when there are a large number of regular posters dealing with IF issues it gets touchy.  For me, I never expected it on non-IF boards and if I was having a particularly bad day, I just wouldn't go to a non-IF board. That said, drive-by posts will always get you flamed no matter which board it is.  I think there were a lot of those recently on the board that triggered a bit of an over-response.  But, since I'm not TTC and just lurk to keep an eye on some of my old friends still there, it's not my decision.   

p.s. Good luck with TTC.
