LCB
This discussion has been closed.
Re: LCB
She is a poster back from first tri (in second tri now) that start her time on the bump with a post asking is cheese sticks are unsafe since the cheese is soft (um, no it is just melted) and about naming her son Easton Weston (Weston being the last name not middle name).
She then got upset, GBCB's 3 times in about 30 minutes I think and created a new sn but kept her blog link in her new siggie - so everyone knew it was her.
She has since posted about her friends "beating" her in the pregnancy game b/c they are showing more, feeling baby, etc. Posted her bump which was noticeable, posted about her boyfriend verbally abusing her and breaking up with her (but it was apparently just a misunderstanding) and the how she had no bump a weeks later - despite the picture she posted the week before.
Very entertaining!
Thank you for saying this! I notice LCB's Bible quote on her siggy. But she doesn't seem like a compassionate Christian to me. Way to go LCB, giving all the good Christians a bad name.
Modesty and compassion are very respectable virtues. Bitchiness and elitism are not.
PS~ There's way more things to do in Hawaii than just sit on a beach or in a hotel room. With all the money you have you probably could have found something!
Peace
I think this is different. LCB repeatedly bullies people. I think looking the other way in this situation would just enable LCB to carry on and badger other women.
It's time someone finally put her in her place. No one ever does it to her when she deserves it more than anyone. It's about time.
Super funny that you think you are puttig me in my place. I will be a new woman tomorrow just b/c of this post you wait a see.
Yes, yes.. reading is *hard* isn't it? ;-)
Ever heard of people thriving from attention? Pretty sure LCB will not change her ways because of this post. She is entertained.
Playing devil's advocate for a second....
For those of you who have never been treated for IF, or have never had the fear that you would never be able to bear children, I am thrilled for you.
Maybe LCB has said things that have rubbed some the wrong way, but honestly if she wants to buy a diamond encrusted cradle for her child, that is her prerogative. Once in a while, us IFers need to brag about something. Going through treatment strips away all that is you. You are less of a woman, not being able to give your husband the child you want, you wonder if you are meant to be a mother. You have to pay for (financially and emotionally) a child that many women can so easily obtain. It changes who you are, and damages area of your life that you did not know even existed. LCB has gone through a lot. After however many IVFs, she was finally blessed with triplets, only to lose two of them. It is a rough road, and she has earned the right to brag. If you don't like it, do not open or respond to her posts.
Oh I know WHO she is...I was there for that whole trainwreck (I'm an avid lurker, not poster which is why you likely don't recognize me and I don't have a large number of posts to brag about). I was asking WHERE she is. Since you were one team that formed to make her presence here as unpleasant as possible, I figured she'd get a kick out of this whole diatribe.
EDIT - I was referring to the question of WHERE not WHO Chloe is - forgot to hit "quote"
You're right LCB. There's no putting you in your place because you have a disconnect with reality. You're simply delusional. You think you're great, honest, Christian, and humble. When you display the complete opposite.
It is so obnoxious when someone is harsh and an unneeded twat, then hides behind the tired "I'm just brutally honest" line.
Last time I checked, you can still be honest and have manners/tact. I respect someone more for their honesty/frankness, when they aren't acting like a raging b!tch. When did being rude suddenly become either cool or acceptable?
well lcb, my husband and i were supposed to go to hawaii for christmas.
and then his grandfather died, the week before we were all supposed to leave. it had been his idea to spend the holidays there.
i would have given anything to be on the beach, looking for whales, instead of you know, at a funeral.
I actually haven't bothered with her lately - she posts about once a week, gets responses she doesn't like, then DD's. I'm sure we're due for a Chloe fix soon.
Last time she posted she got upset that people wouldn't give her their full names so she could look at their registries and DD'd that post...
Interesting - my grandfather died the week we went in November. Our family encouraged us to still go as it would have been what he would have wanted. It was by far the best vacay ever - and when I started my IVF cycle for this pregnancy.
We are going to have to agree to disagree with this one. If my husband wants to snorkel and I want to sit on the beach and start a post on the bump while I take a break from a book, that is my prerogative. I'm sorry that is not what you would do but, it was my vacation to do what I wanted to do.
This whole post is pretty ridiculous.
For those who do know LCB, who have gone through some of their darkest days with her, who have walked through failed cycle after failed cycle, she is nothing but supportive caring and thoughtful. She has offered prayers to me when I have doubted everything about having a healthy pregnancy. Offered me her personal cell # if I ever needed to just talk or vent. Checked up on me when I disappear for a few days. And so much more.
So to OP, do you really think you are accomplishing some great feat by calling LCB out? Isn't this basically what you all had a problem with a few posts down? And now you feel the need to gang up on LCB? Way to go.
As you all like to preach, if you don't like what the post is, move on.
A lot of people that actually have class and not just money find it very distasteful to talk about how much money they have.
Finances should only be discussed in your home with your SO or other close family members. Definitely not Internet strangers. I'm sure you are a real gem IRL. Why not try to attain some actual class to go with all of your wealth.
I'm sure that's all and well and she'll just "blow it off" being as we are mere e-people but still I am glad someone finally said it..
And though this thread may not have been needed..
It is amusing none the less.
it's true, she has had a rough road, and i don't envy her at all.
but that being said, there is no reason to spread your misfortune to others to bring yourself up.
i hope i will never understand that kind of pain, but i have gone through some sucky *** in my life. my feelings are just as real as anyone else's, even if i haven't experienced if.
Sometimes part of being a good human being, is recognizing others who may be, or have been struggling, and not joining in on a bloodbath like this post. It may be hard for you to see, but I don't think that anyone who has not lived it can know the pain of IF. while some may think it necessary, I highly doubt LCB has any pegs to be knocked down.
100 x's THIS!!!!
sure. but i think you could understand how that would make a person feel who didn't get to go. and just to clarify, it was supposed to be a family trip... all of us, together in hawaii, for christmas.
you can't just take one of those by yourself. we conceived the week he died because he'd asked dh in the hospital when we were going to give up some great grandchildren. i'm glad i got to tell him before he was completely unable to hear or move. watching someone die of kidney failure right in front of you is not much fun.
chugga chugga choo choo!
Karma Train's a comin' LBC!!
I didn't catch the family vacay thing. That must have been hard.
But, you are always ragging me for projecting my misery on others - isn't that exactly what you are doing to me about my vacation since you never got to take yours? Hmmm....interesting thought....
hmmm....this post is kind of funny (sorry OP and LCB). There is talk of being good Christians, flaunting money (and when not to), IF, Michael Jackson, and Jerry:)
Anyway, I'm entertained for the moment. I really have no opinion on the OP topic. Just entertained and amazed at how much I can really miss on the bump.
Then you should be worried too my dear b/c I don't think karma has caught up to you for everything you said/ did just yet!
You might have waited a few more weeks before trying to pull the karma card.
Im not buying that excuse. LCB isnt the only one who has had T-TTC. Nor is she the only one with endo & fibroids. And if anything, you would expect someone who went through all of that to be humble and greatful that they are pregnant....not a complete b!tch towards others who are going through the exact same process. There is no exceptions to the rule. A b!tch is a b!tch.
And yes, LCB, you wear the title well.
if she seemed like she was struggling, i would agree.
and i've said before, on these boards, it's like only women who have experienced if are allowed to have feelings. i fully acknowledge that i can't understand that pain... but denying other people's feelings is not right. the worst day of your life is still the worst day of your life, regardless of what others have experienced. if i said i was a refugee from darfur, would that excuse me being mean to lcb?
it shouldn't.
Well this has been very entertaining. I too have been tempted to hit the block button several times after reading LCB's ridiculous posts, and I still might. I understand that she has been through a lot, but that doesn't give her a right to be a complete and utter biitch to just about everybody on here unless they have had IF struggles alongside her.
LCB, Everybody on this board has a right to have questions and post their vents or whatever without you passing your snobbish judgement on them or being called "stupids", even if it didn't take us years to get pregnant or we didn't have to spend any of our "wealth" to do so. Having IF issues makes you special, yes, but not that special. I really wish you would just get over yourself.
nice try... but since we're discussing it, it is its own conversation. if you'll recall, i just told you to go snorkeling, didn't i? i didn't just lay into you when you said you were in hawaii months ago... i'm explaining how you could look ungrateful since you seemed confused.
Actually, if I recall, you mentioned the death and that I should be grateful to be there during the post in March - I just didn't gather the whole it was a famiy vacay thing. But, your intentions were still the same. Make me feel bad b/c you were upset about the situtations surrounding your missed trip (rightfully so but still trying to make someone feel bad for your misfortune).
We all have been blessed with a LO on the way, but the journey to get here doesn't give ANYONE the right to spew distaste on other women for a naive question asked, any concern she may have, or just letting someone know she is "stupid" because LCB is bored at work and needs to be entertained.
Respect for others goes a long way.
LCB seems to be a douche.
And I've gone through infertility and I don't think it's a license to be a ***. Everyone has been through something-it's all relative. Who cares that you've "been through so much", what the hell does that mean? I feel I've been through some serious shiit in my life but what the hell does that have to do with how I treat people?
Just lame.
I have no opinion in any of this but, really don't like the IF card being thrown around the way it is in this post. IF shouldn't be an excuse here or anywhere.
I am not sure exactly which excuse you are referring to. I was trying to explain how she has supported me. And I never said she was the only one who has had TTTC.
And just because she has struggled with IF doesn't mean she should sit in a corner like a mouse and be humble and grateful for a pregnancy. To imply that anyone should should shut the hell up and thank their lucky stars that they are finally pregnant! is insulting to us all. I'm pretty sure IF doesn't completely erase a personality. Nor does being pregnant.
What I obviously failed to get across to you was that she has been supportive to ladies on here. Not the big ole' bad LCB that you all seem to have a blood thirst for tonight.
I have always fecking LOVED Kiwi's! ROTFLMAO!
LMFAO!!!
This really annoys and upsets me also as I've been through 4 IVF cycles myself and have struggled with having to deal with ignorant people/misinformation also. However, it makes more sense to me to use my experiences as a way to educate people about IF in a way that doesn't make them feel like they have to apologize for their own fertility/lack of understanding. Unless someone is an utter douche, they will appreciate being told how it really is and they are more likely to listen to what you have to say when you're not attacking them.
I'm all for calling out a$$hats where appropriate, but using IF as a means to justify random bullying really boils my potatoes.
