I'm so tired of reading legit questions FTM's post, searching for answers but they get ripped to shreds it's so sad and disheartening that people could actually have no soul.
Heyyyyy. Are you tot lovers in our sandbox again? I thought we had a truce?
Only to call it how it is. Y'all have a weird way of going about things, and making a mom feel like crap because she asked a legit question is bs.
Not that it really has anything to do with you how we do things on our BMB, but several people did answer question but also pointed out that we have a thread for questions of that kind. And questioning someone's motives who comes out of nowhere expecting answers but has never offered support to any of us is not unreasonable. Next time a rando posts a question, we can send em your way!
It's kind of like someone on facebook who irritates you. You can scroll right past or unfollow them. No one is asking you to look at our posts.
If you are actually that concerned about these randos, PM them and cultivate a true friendship. But I can tell since there is no activity on June anymore you're really just bored and feel like criticizing for some fun.
Oh and if a rando came to us with an urgent medical question or depression, you're sure as sh** we would answer with sincerity. The randos we've been getting will get by just fine after their silly questions and post and runs.

Pretty sure that's not what was said last time. Are you really that bored? People answered the question. Other people directed to places best to post the question. Some people did both. I thought you retired as July Nanny..?
Every morning I wake up, and the first thought that pops into my head is - "Please God, let today be the day" and I'm only 38 motha effing weeks. I feel like a flimsy balloon that's been blown up past it's popping point.

I've been in the hospital since Monday. Today I'm supposed to go home and my FFFC is I really don't want to go home. I'm afraid my medicine regiment isn't quite right and I have been having labor signs since last night so I'm honestly afraid to leave the hospital.

That sucks. I'm sure as soon as they send you home your water will break - cause that's how it works right? Thoughts & tots.
I needed to go to the grocery store today and was trying to psych myself up to go because we have literally no food, and who doesn't want to take two irrational 2 yr olds to the grocery store by themselves? My solution, drop hints of how nice it would be if my groceries just showed up after my mom mentioned she was also needing to go to the store today. Thanks mom!
For the past three days, I have been hungry for the first time ever in either of my pregnancies. I'm embracing it. From here on out, it's cheese sauce on errything.
SIL is mad at us and giving us the silent treatment. Honestly I would be thrilled about this, except that she was our back up babysitter for when the baby comes. Now I have to find someone else, but it's almost worth it to not have to deal with her immature entitled attitude.

Is it the same crazy one that was staying with you earlier? Seems like a good riddance...

The very same. And the events leading up to her getting mad at us are so ridiculous and self centered. Honestly I think a lot less of her than I did even before

She needs to be smacked around a bit it sounds like.
My in laws are visiting for the weekend (relationship is fine with them). I wanted to do some cleaning and they (and my husband) basically told me no. Getting in the way of a nesting mama = instant irrational crankiness (they were actually not being unreasonable... But I had it in my head). So, I've put myself in time out. Husband can cook dinner, they can take care of DD, and I can lie down with Netflix for a bit until I feel social again.

Wow. Surprised that's possible with the freeloader. Sorry you have to find a new sitter.

This seems like something she would do just to get out of babysitting. Your SIL is a real piece of work.

****Box issues*** With all you guys did the she could do is be your back up sitter. She needs to grow up and be an adult already.

Stuck in box You do realize that 80 to 90% of the responses were legitimate so spare us the making her feel like crap part.
You do realize that I don't care anymore, right? Your snark isn't in the right post here in June. Go read our rules and figure out where it goes. Bye, Lindsay.

Whoops bump at my post. I actually wasn't being snarky, for once shocking I know. Just if we are "calling it how it is" which is what you did I came to do the same. We have had 4-5 drive by posts this week alone. We had already given this mom solid advice and several different perspectives that were all respectful of her as well. Even though this person has never once offered support to the group or it's members. But also redirecting to the appropriate location because we like order and are having more legitimate posts come up such as early labors, and or complications that we would prefer to not get lost in the shuffle of randos.
So yes very unnessary to say we were just trying to make her feel like crap when that was clearly not what was happening.
This is ridiculous. Look, June and July have different philosophies. Whatever. I don't care how July does their board, and most of us are not going to July and posting that you are meanies there. I love the snark when it's appropriate, but I do agree with @sdLindenberg . I saw a few of those posts and wanted to say, come to June we'll give you an answer. Now a June mama is posting their FFC, on the June board- that is their prerogative. There is no reason that July has to come in here and complain about how we do our boards. Many of us frequent both boards so why don't we just read the tone and remember what month you are in.
I don't know if this is a FFC, but why do people feel guilty about having a c section?
Most women don't want one for the most part, but I don't know why you would feel guilty. Most of the time there is a medical reason for a c section, and it's usually for the health of you and your baby. Wouldn't you feel more guilty if you refused a c section and something happened that you could have prevented?
Now full disclosure, I will probably end up having a c section since my baby has been breech for months and hasn't moved, and I'm not a good candidate for a version (nor would I want one). I'm trying to think of the pros of a c section, so I could be projecting...

I was thinking this earlier today too. I personally loved my section with the girls. It saved their lives. Trying for a VBAC this time for a different experience but if it comes to a section again I'm down.
I don't understand why people comment on "randos" post if they don't want to answer the question. Why not just ignore post and move on? commenting on it, when you don't want to give advice or input, just doesn't make sense. Also, why complain that someone else choose to give advice, again "bumping" the post up. I truly believe, some people just need drama, they feed on it.

Agree. Dh told her how childish she was acting, and that's basically why she won't talk to us. (Great way to prove you're maturity, right?)
She he was borrowing my husbands car for the last few weeks (not my call, my husband agreed since she started a new job and we didn't need it for a little while, he made her get her own insurance, and they had an end date agreement). It broke down while she was driving it. Instead of taking responsibility or dealing with it she harassed my husband at work with constant texts and phone calls (he has been swamped at work, and doesn't have time to answer every personal message), told him he needed to "come deal with his car" and that she wasn't going to handle his problems. she started demanding that we do something to get it away from her office (where it broke down) because her boss might not like it being parked there, and she wasn't paying the $100 for a tow truck. We got several messages of "come get your car". This was all in the course of a few hours when dh was working and I was at my son's school. It got worse after that.
Anyway, dh was very direct with her and told her how unacceptable her behavior was. Ever since then she will only respond to us via text in 1-2 word answers. This means I have no sitter for a friend's baby shower next Saturday and no back up sitter for labor. I'm mad, but if that means she'll stop dropping by unannounced for free dinners I guess it's a good trade off.
