Labor Buddies List Update in OP!

Jax2013

I didn't direct name call. There were no names in my post. My statement was directed at the "ladies" (and I use that term loosely) that have given me grief since I joined the discussions and are still harping on posts from days ago.

You are a special flower , aren't you? You directly called people assholes. Just QFP. No one has liked either of the threads you made and you just got here. Chances are we just aren't a match. Shucks.

Do I have to use your name in a post in order to direct it at you? Because if so then none of my posts have been directed at you so you're whining about nothing.

In my opinion, direct name call means calling out a specific username and insulting that particular person. I said "some of you", thereby making it indirect. So unless you're admitting to be one of the some, what I say shouldn't bother you. This is supposed to be a safe place for moms-to-be to come and talk about stuff. And I get that everyone won't agree with everyone, but I feel like I haven't even been given a fair shot. So it is what it is. Once again, I just wanted to know what a labor buddy was. Congrats to everyone that has a group.

Omg. It was a simple hypothesis. Last time I checked, those couldn't be right or wrong. See what I mean about still getting grief? It's lose/lose, no matter what I say. Further explanations keep leading to more backlash. So forget it

I'm really curious as to what you're referring to because a hypothesis is generated through research and careful observation. If it's regarding pregnancy turning these ladies into "assholes", then I refute your hypothesis by saying that you have not adequately observed the behavior in the group. Your view is also biased. You're basing your observations on the fact that the women here do not agree with you and fail to sugar coat their own opinions. If you have really taken the time to research and observe, then you'd see that the dynamic of the group is to provide honest, blunt feedback.

Also, though technically a hypothesis cannot be "right" or "wrong", it can be supported and eventually considered to be a theory. If not enough evidence is gathered to support it, it must be modified and the hypothesis changes.

Oh! I want to be your buddy now! Oh wait......


PS My asshole has definitely enhanced since becoming pregnant. Stupid hemorrhoids. Thanks for noticing.


------mobile quotes can suck my hemorrhoids-----

I laughed way too fucking much at this. Hemmies (and hammies) suck.

I do like the idea that my asshole is now 'enhanced' though. Does this mean I can in fact poop out rainbows?????

I think some people on here are being douche nuggets. I said some people. So it's indirect enough, right?

Remember that time that the only thing it took to insult someone was adding a question mark? I miss those days.

So I can say things like, that chick is a bitchwaffle? She is a whiny baby? She is fart conductor ?

Fart conductor.
Day made.

Ok... where did I miss the ad that said "The Bump:  A safe place for you to dump your idiotic beliefs on people." ??

Can you feel sorry for my husband so I can win at BINGO?

@bmwaters2121 Right??  I missed it somewhere.  I was looking on first tri today and saw it a few times.  Drives me bonkers.

Good luck to you!  I suggest reaching out to @phughes09 as you both missed the cutoff for labor buddies, but both seem to be interested.

I don't have a labor buddy but you know you and carm are probably going to have to deal with me right?

so...you're due in about three weeks...you don't know anything about anyone on here...and you want a labor buddy? aka a labor stranger? you would share your contact information with said "buddy"...? and you want to tell your birth story to people you've never spoken to?

my brain hurts.

Maybe we should just close this thread. If you don't already know who your labor buddy is then you don't really want one. Or maybe we could unstick and add the list to the "all important things" thread? That's what I call it

I second unsticking and adding the list to the "all important things" thread. It's not like these randos look at THAT thread, so it should be a safe place.

mrsdanielleM2010

@SmileyGirl18‌ can we do what @kshayes0315‌ suggested above pretty please?
