forgot how mean TB could be

I've got someone chewing my butt over on another board for no apparent reason. Like seriously, I didn't say anything controversial or anything and I'm getting treated like dog poo by this one lady. I forgot how mean ladies could be on TB. You ladies have spoiled me.

Adding: Not saying I can't handle a disagreement or being told "that's not how we do things" but I forgot that outside this board, people don't say those things in polite ways. It's automatic swearing, sarcastic, and rude. Think I should just stay here....and Pinterest. Pinterest is nice. lol

Yes, we did. It was crazy in the beginning. I just forget how bad the until I venture out to the other boards. I'm re-learning "ok, that person is just a jerk. And that one is just sarcastic all the time. And one can't really share their opinions or else they get chewed out and...."

It's been awhile. I like it better here it's just slow now. lol

I'm sorry you encountered that. I see it happening on the tri boards ALL the time. Shit gets CRAZY on some of the other boards. I can think of maybe 2 or 3 folks that are just that way, no matter what the topic. They are harsh and down right rude but I'm so used to that from some people so I don't let it get to me.

I was actually leaving the name of the board out on purpose.

It honestly bothers me aimed at other people as well. It just makes me feel sad for them. Like, the mean girls from high school never grew up. It also makes me wonder if people are that mean and bitter IRL too. I stay far, far away from the tri boards. Always have.

Yeah, I started out pretty active on DD2's BMB, but that didn't last too long.  I just can't handle the drama and I can't keep up with the "rules."  I like it here!  I keep waiting for everybody over there to head to FB so that it calms down like this one has, but that's not happening...

Ugh, so lame! Don't take it personally. Some people just get satisfaction from putting others down, I think.

It's like a train wreck though. I just can't look away.

So I actually had to block my browser from going there. I was wasting entire nap times. It can be really addicting. So it may seem overboard, but now it takes some work to get back over to read the drama.


Sometimes I forget the attitude on a lot of TB boards is kind of, "We are a super support group of women....if you believe the exact same way we do." Respectful disagreement is next to impossible on many of the boards.

I love my March 2012 mamas.

Uhhh, I remember those days. There used to be some pretty nasty girls on TB during the preg times. I dropped off the fb board because they ventured over there as well. Amazing how many moms/mom to be can be so immature and dramatic. Just keep in mind, people like that usually have issues going on in their lives-try to shrug it off, at least you aren't the one who is so miserable that you feel the need to lash out on others, right?
