Depends on how many of us OP reports for "bullying"

How could she have the time? She clearly has a more fulfilling life than any of us do.

I just want to gif.
I'm team "I have a life even if I've lurked and learned about this community and participate actively".

AH HAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Oh wait... what? Did I miss something here? I don't get it. Some newbie dropping in at the last minute of pregnancy trying to stir the shit pot with those that have been here since the beginning. That's what I got out of this. I know the perfect Facebook group you can join OP. It's full of random nonsense with rainbow farting glitter unicorns. And everyone is nice and polite.

caitlyn5454

Not me, man. No life here.

Court11152325

To be fair, I don't have a life today. DH is on the playstation and we only have 1 tv... and I'm also avoiding cleaning and grading poorly written essays.

Also, I just have to say that I have a hard time believing someone had to get up to pee 14 times in one night. My max is 5 and that's because I drank 2 huge glasses of water about 2 hours before bed.

Just popping in to say thanks to the regs for making my lazy unfulfilling life more entertaining.

Holy hormonal outbursts, ladies! I get we're at the freakout point of pregnancy, but, can't we all just be friends and get along? We're going through the same things together & I'm sure we're ALL having trouble rolling out of bed throughout the night/morning. Let's all just laugh and move on. *Deep breaths* Positivity  

ETA - I've been feeling like a whale and can hardly gain enough momentum to roll out of bed. I have to grasp onto the poor bassinet to brace myself up. DH is gonna have to tighten the bolts on it...again.

I was totally with OP on the getting out of bed thing. I strongly relate.



But I do resent her pointing out my/our lack of a life. I mean it's true at this point in time as I'm stuck on bed rest, but that's besides the point.

I lurk and post on this board... Dang it. I am so unfulfilled

I have no interest in being "friends" with someone who thinks participation in the forums and lurking (as is requested during the 3-day moratorium on initial posting) indicates I have no life.

I'm honestly not trying to stir the pot here or attack you personally. I just want to put this out there in regards to how I see blaming of hormones.
Just because we are pregnant, doesn't make us hormonal messes. Some women just disagree and such is life. That's part of what makes life interesting. If every agreed and felt the same about everything, life would be so dull.
I really hate when anyone blames a woman's feelings or arguments or outbursts on hormones. Whether it's during pregnancy or someone saying "wow, she must be pmsing." To me, it's a way to diminish our feelings or ideas.

And I do agree with you that we're all struggling to roll our bodies out of bed. I myself have a 3 step process I have to prepare myself for every time.

@adecembermom2015 I don't have time to "lurk", I have a busy and fulfilling life outside of this forum. Just writing a short post to other mom's who may be feeling the same way. If you don't like it, just move on. No need to be negative or sarcastic. It's not becoming.

You should learn to take your own advice.

Tiffanyosborn said:

People can be so rude on this forum, which is why I only ever lurk. Makes me shake my head from time to time, though. Not the kind of environment you would expect a forum like this to be.

So @adecembermom2015 had no right to comment because she didn't speak special snowflake? I guess I'll remember that the next time I comment, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings *hard eye roll*

Because clearly I have no life...

Uh, I was stating that as a joke... Have a great day ya'll.

Oh great, time to blame it all on hormones!!! No one can legitimately just be annoyed by something ridiculous and redundant, it must be hormones!!!

I will definitely be held accountable for my mean gif.

I blame all of the negative views people have about pregnant women on people who throw the "hormonal" excuse out at the slightest provocation, even if joking. Doing that makes it okay for men and other people to discredit the opinions of pregnant women just because of "hormones." I may be pregnant, but I am not a loose cannon lunatic who can't control herself.

Just FYI, I have been pregnant since March and haven't had one single hormonal or emotional moment, because I am in control of my actions. Don't discredit mine and others opinions with the lamest excuse ever just because you disagree with it.

caitlyn5454

The first one to be "completely horrible to a total stranger" was OP herself. Just sayin'. #kanyeshrug

Funny how the same group of women you call "horrible" are the same women who have pulled together for every woman on this board going through something scary/awful. I don't know where I'd be now without the support of these ladies.

And what about OP being completely horrible as well? It goes both ways.

Stupid work. I missed everything. Why the ban? Her posts didn't seem against TOU to me... Another ridiculous ban like @ChiccoBeanz.

I don't like blaming everything on hormones, but I can't say that I haven't had any hormonal or emotional moments during pregnancy that I would've had without being pregnant. Sometimes I cry for seemingly no reason or feel very irritated or impatient. Some women do have these things happen, but it can be different for everyone, I suppose.

And now one of our most cherished contributors is banned. Good luck getting any helpful advice from all these newbies! It's us "mean" regulars who are always the ones supporting, and praying, and giving advice!

I am not criticizing the emotions people feel, but I am criticizing those who use the "hormonal pregnant woman" excuse for everything they do to get a get-out-of-jail pass every time. It just makes it okay for everyone else to stop taking pregnant women seriously. I have had thoughts and emotions in my body that might not have been there without pregnancy, but I didn't act on it - I removed myself and calmed down. I didn't act on it and then claim after the fact that I shouldn't have consequences for my actions because I am pregnant. I am still under control of how I act on feelings.

That's really neither here nor there with this post, except to make it clear that me disagreeing with someone has nothing to do with my hormones and everything to do with the fact that people's opinions vary, and those who choose to post on a public forum ought to be ready to hear other opinions that may not agree with their own.

Edited to remove quote, since this is more to OP than the PP who told us to all get along... Too lazy to find their names and tag though.

How about being friends with the people that have actually been around and women with whom you have built a relationship with? @adecembermom2015 has been an active and great member, with whom I and many others had built legit relationships with, and now she is banned because some run by poster got her panties in a twist, call all active members losers, and infer that @adecembermom2015 won't be a good parent. I definitely have no desire to get along with someone like that.

Also, I have no trouble getting out of bed and most nights don't have to wake up to pee.

In honor of @adecembermom2015 and our friends gif offs (seems forever ago!)

I tried to be nice to the op because I really didn't feel like being called a bully but she seems to be in a bitchy mood. I understand that because I also have a hard time sleeping and am not well rested after getting up to pee in the night. However her reaction to someone questioning the point of her post was rude. Her post has no value and is ridiculous. Hormones is not an excuse for being rude. With the way she came back it is clear that to me that lack of sleep is not the problem either. Her attitude got in the way.

Edit because auto correct is stupid
