Im just assuming the baby center-type posters won't stick around long. I might end up blind from all the eye rolling I'm doing if they don't simmer down soon though...
I like our fun threads that are meant for conversation. But we are not WebMD nor are we Maury/Dr Phil or whatever. Idk, the drive bys are making me want to be less involved.

Yes. Also, I feel more inclined to listen to/care about someones drama when I know them. A regular poster posts some family issue, I am there with the support and thoughts. A rando posts the same thing, and I just don't care.
The answer is people who come into a community should at least take the time to learn how it works. Most of us have been around since January, some since December. We've been supporting each other through this whole journey, we've seen people come and go, we have had friends who have had unimaginable pain and loss. You don't just come in and start AWing it up. Because it's not all about one person. We're all here for each other. It's not an all for one deal.

Exactly. A regular makes a personal post? Sure thing, I'll be there with advice, support, sarcasm... whatever's needed. But if I have to say "who even are you?" No. Just no.
@amandarene112 spoiler for profanity but these are my thoughts when randos post crazy personal stuff or just drive by MUD AW stuff (thank you @wyomama0427 for being my TB urban dictionary)

I'm still trying to figure out who everyone is after the mass name change of March 2017 so I've been less inclined to flame first since idk if they were a regular who changed names or a rando.

YAAASSSS. If a regular wants to start a new thread about a certain symptom I can be damn sure there's a good reason. But come on people. Like for real. I feel like you guys here are my friends. I know things about you that people you know IRL don't. I know who is having lightning butthole and who throws up at the mention of eggs. You all know things about me and my marriage that nobody I know IRL knows. Nobody has been there to support me through my marital problems and DHs porn issue except for you guys. Sorry I can't muster enthusiasm for someone who wants to post and ghost! Sorry not sorry lol
When I first joined TB and wanted to make my first comment, I felt like I should have prefaced my comment with "long time lurker, first time poster" like they used to say on radio shows (long time listener, first time caller). I STILL haven't made my own thread and this is the third group Ive participated in...
I'm so glad to hear all you ladies say this. I can't tell you how many times in the last few days I've opened a post and been like "are you serious?" Then I read comments and I'm like, oh maybe I should keep those thoughts to myself. I can't be known as that bitch.

Hahahahaha! I have to behave myself for a little while at least since I got my "warning" but I like to be all over that with a sarcastic comment or gif

We can be THOSE bitches!!! Because I'm thinking the same thing ha!
From my previous bmb experience, I don't consider what I've seen so far to be a lot of random newbie posts. Definitely very few posts that end in regulars being called bitches or people feeling sorry for our families. Just my two cents.
It is 4:24 and I have been awake since 4. Can't sleep. Wtf. DS is curled up next to me like a little frog baby. It's too adorable. Laying on his tummy with his arms and legs tucked under him. He has slept sooooo well tonight. Might be his best night yet. Knock on wood. Idk why I'm awake... got a lot of anxiety so that's probably not helping.
@wyomama0427 Same here. It was just before 4 when I looked at the clock. I finally gave up on sleep and am getting ready for work.

@awildrose ugh ugh it's awful. I'm gonna need to try to get back to sleep. Idk how I'm gonna function today. DS better be good lol. @kailapop that's awesome!!!! Congratulations DS is still dry as well, because he has finally slept through the night!! *happy dance*

I was known as a A15 bitch. Trust me some of the things I've said in my head about several posts would definitely get me banned lol but since everyone is so tame I figured I'd lay low with my honesty and just not say anything
I haven't been able to watch it since I watched it when I was little and the big rat thing scared the bejeesus out of me.
The rat scene just annoys the crap out of me like she just stands there while he gets bitten like 4 times! Like girl friend grab his sword and poke that thing at least! Good grief! But besides that the movie is hilarious and also sweet

I love the rest of the movie! I just had nightmares about the rat for so long lol. Maybe I'll watch it and fat forward through that scene.

DS woke up dry this morning. I did a happy dance. We woke him up once around 11:30 to pee and that's it.
@kailapop that's awesome!!!! Congratulations
Haha. FAST forward.
