BMB Board Atmosphere

BC&LM

I feel like our board has been pretty mellow for the past few months, which I love, but I was wondering what other people's opinions are on BMB atmospheres. Do you like your BMB board (not the other boards) to be mellow or do you prefer a bit more snark/drama? If you have been on more than one BMB, take that into consideration too, not just the June 13 board.

Haha! Screw you and your little dog too @WasNotWas! (kidding!) Lol! I come from a family that has people (an uncle and a few cousins in particular) who intentionally push your buttons and get snarky just to piss you off, and I'm just sick of dealing with that. So, I'm probably overly sensitive because of that, but it's just how I feel!

I generally avoid being mean to other people. I will call a spade a spade, but it's got to be exhausting to care so much about how other people live their lives like I see on other boards.

I don't get the rules so many of the BMB's have. I guess it works, but gosh I post what I want!

Other boards have rules? That's strange.

I feel like I do in real life - I have different groups of friends with different personalities.  It's calm here and I like it but I do love me some Parenting but it's a totally different vibe.  I don't like trolly drama unless it's funny.

Yeah, I think of snark and drama as 2 very different things. Snarky to me seems more playful where as drama takes itself seriously. I enjoy the snark, but hate the drama.

That said, I love j13 (insert puppies hugging rainbows).

I love our BMB!

I like our calm board. I think we speak our minds without getting nasty. And it's like I care about you guys but not enough to get my panties in a bunch over anything or take stuff personally. Andplusalso my memory sucks so bad I can't even hold a grudge or dislike anyone because I won't remember why/who.

I'm really a mellow, laid back kind of person in real life. I hate snarky remarks (only if it's to really jab at someone) and drama. That being said, I really like J13, and why I moved on from the drama at May13.

I kind of like the calm of this board. Holy shit though, D14 and April 13 have been INSANE recently. (April 13 had casual use of the r word, and way too many people were defending the mom who used it.) 

D14, I don't even want to get into. @Limabeanmom and @riansmommie (and anyone else there) you have ALL MY SORRIES. That one woman was just BSC.

trying to think of what the "R" word is......

:-?

I like the calm of this board, but I do like some 'occasional' snarky drama, as long as it doesn't involve me. Lol.

Well, off to Dec 14 to see what's going down over there. \:D/

I like both this and my other board October 14. They're both fairly calm, however it is nice to have a teeny bit of drama some of the time. Kinda like real life. If it was constant, it'd get really stressful but if there wasn't any ever, you'd be bored.

My other BMB (Dec 14) has had some major drama for the past week or so and its getting old. I like coming here and having it be a nice mellow atmosphere. Some snark and drama every once in a while but please not everyday.

Your board is famous. My N14 girls lurk the crap out of D14. Too boring on ours I guess.

I'd like a little bit of the snark back on this board. Sometimes I think we are a little bit TOO nice to each other. I expect a kick in the pants when it's appropriate. I think we mostly call each other out when it's necessary, but some of the snark would make things exciting, on occasion

I respect this board too much to bring any snark. You should see my comments over on N14 though

I'll admit, I just spent the last couple hours lurking on the D14 board. I didnt see any of the original threads or comments but comments made on other threads about the originals made me VERY happy to be here and O14. 

Also, not in any way related but @Maelara my DD has the same dress as yours. However, it looks more like a long shirt on her because she's ridiculously tall.

I'm still a lurker on D14 and don't know if I can ever officially intro over there. It's a little much and the tone isn't quite my style at this point. Makes me appreciate J13 even more!

She must be tall! N is in the 90th percentile herself. It's a cute dress though, I love it

MorganWP

She is. She's been off the chart in weight and height for her age group since birth.
