  • Ahhhhh WTF it was a good gif too. I've failed horribly :-(

    The only reason to keep coming to this thread is for the GIFs.  I propose an alternative weekly GIF party.  All can be solved with GIFs.

  • I have a feeling if i knew sharkfarts and saltbox in real life, i would simultaneously fear and worship them. The internet is a scary place and always has been. Thanks for keeping it light!! :-)

  • There are always going to be people who make rude or snarky comments. It's easier to to mean when you're anonymous, no? There will also be lots of supportive gals too! Just don't share anything that you don't want a negative reaction to or chose to ignore the unhelpful peanut gallery.

  • I like cheese. All types of cheese.

    Can I share even though I'm not that nice? 

    I will share all of my cheese with you because you're amazing!

    Not to stir up controversy. But I'm actually anti-cheese. So...this is awkward.

    FWIW... I admit to originally thinking along the lines of the OP when I first got here. But have since realized (after seeing common trends and repetitive questions) that the gif loving snarky "b*tch*s" would probably be my besties in real life.

    It's not ALL snark. Had a rough week last week and got some legit and appreciated input/support.

    But most days I just need a break from reality. Now I just wish I had more time/talent/access to more than a mobile app to participate in being more "gif"ted. That shit makes my day some days....... ;)

    Totally agree. That my first experience also. When you get the bfp it's only natural to get special snowflake syndrome and think all questions deserve long thoughtful answers. After a few weeks on here, you see that that shit gets old fast and makes it nearly impossible to see the new relevant posts. We want to keep posts engaging so that people stick around. It's tough love calling people out but in my mind necessary to clean up the board.

    Please ... Why are we arguing and fighting? Why does it matter what kind of questions someone asks. What kind of example are we setting for our children? Please be nice!

    If children are on the bump? that is seriously fucked up. Pregnant teenagers are one thing but children?!

    I have not really been that active on the board yet and there is one main reason. All this board is, is drama. I don't know if it the hormones or what but just about every post I want to post on I read the prior comments and it's almost always people fighting over one thing or another. Mothers attacking one another. So then I'm afraid to say my comment after that is fear or being attacked. The is a huge mob mentality on this board. I wish people could be more kind and tolerable of each other.

    I completely agree, it's like a forum of school children sometimes. The response you've had to this post has just proved your point exactly. Always a snarky, sarcastic person trying to get one up on someone else. I'm here if you wanna talk

    :D
  • Stop. Just stop. If you think this board is full of drama you obviously have not read 95% of the threads. And if you are not going to read and participate in threads, just go away.
  • Well done you! I keep coming back because I downloaded this app to share the joy of being pregnant with others! Not for women 10 years older than me to act like kids it's embarrasing. I don't DISLIKE the app so I won't 'click the x' as some genius has suggested already. I'm here to share my pregnancy journey, enjoy the humour and support other women.
  • This content has been removed.
  • Funny how you talk about being attacked and woman attack you for it. Pathetic
  • This made for some great reading before bedtime! Ps I still need to learn Gifs
  • Does @saltbox40 like Bad girls club as much as I do? That is my favorite GIF probably of all time from that show.

  • I just wonder if this is how you all act when someone disagrees with you in real life. Like do you tell them they're just being mean and complain about being attacked? People disagree. We're different, we have different opinions. Maybe you're reading things in the wrong tone, maybe you're being too sensitive. Either way, this may not be the place for you.

    There are lots of other sites for moms due in April. Maybe a different one would be more your speed.
    some women here are so sensitive yes. while on the other hand some women here don't seem to understand the difference between disagreeing & making fun of ppl, ridiculing them, being rude to them, being mean to them.....etc.

  • I can't say i've noticed it yet (must be lucky!) but i do believe there must be a lot of it, aahh the internet!
  • Are we still doing this? Man, i thought we had agreed the internet isn't a safe place for anyone at any time. My two cents: whether you feel like you're being attacked or not i suppose is a matter of your own opinion, but to call out people's age on here is kind of lame.

    Side note: did someone mention calzones? *salivating*
