goodnight all....

I totally agree with you Stacey & it makes me sad too. I just try not to get involved.

But you will find some really lovely people on here who are only too willing to help & are happy to support other women. The BF board is a good example. If you ever want to ask any questions I would be happy to answer them no matter how paranoid you think they sound lol.

I'm not being snarky or anything, but holy run on sentence!!

I totally know. 

I thought I would meet my new bestie here. Then I remembered, that only happens on the nest. Not the bump.

Psht, The Bump is way cooler than The Nest.  Hormones and sleep deprivation make for awesome snark and sarcasm.  What's more fun than sarcasm??

Edited because I can't type apparently.  Can't have the spelling police after me!!

But Queen Daisy, I thought we were going to be besties!  Ahhhh, is it because I forgot to use PARAGRAPHS?!!!

It's not TB that's the problem.  It's you.

The truth is, I *do* suck in real life.

That's how I got knocked up and came to find myself here on the bump.

Ambsies gave you good advice.

I just wanted to add that it's a good idea not to get too hung up on the opinions of strangers.

I've been flamed, and sometimes I've wholeheartedly deserved it.  Sometimes I simply didn't express myself well. But either way it didn't matter because I was always given something to think about.

Some boards are definitely friendlier than others. The AP board is very supportive.

The tri boards have a lot of tired, hormonal women on them. It's not really a great combo if you're looking for sunshine and lollipops.

I love you! 

(See, OP. You can make friends on the bump!)

I'm not even trying to read the rest...it hurts my eyes.

Girls here are just dirty bishes.

Seriously OP, lurk. There is pretty much a board for everyone here, you just have to find your spot. If you don't want snark, stay away from the "bigger" boards. Tri boards, 0-3, 3-6, etc are all know for being snarkier. Lurk, lurk, lurk and I am sure you will find something appropriately P&R for you.

I ment the chick that wrote the original post...I couldn't read the whole thing, but the title did say that TB makes her sad.  :-)

I don't worry bout Daisy..she can handle herself! :-)

Why do people take things so personally? I don't get it. Then again I am not a fuzzy warm person.

Why do people take things so personally? I don't get it. You do not have to respond to everyone who writes something you don't like or agree with. Ignore it. Respond to threads or bumpies that you identify with and leave it at that. I've done that and have managed to find amazing people on here. A lot of the time what comes across as snarky is playful sarcasm.

I think you're totally warm and fuzzy.

I love these posts. My favorite parts are always the "in real life" references. As if I'm typing from some black hole. A warp in the time-space continuum. 

Woooooo... I'm not reallllll...

It's why we get along daaaaahling.

Here's the thing:

1. You writing in run-on sentences with no paragraph breaks and poor spelling/grammar makes it extremely difficult to figure out what you're talking about. That makes some people impatient and frustrated.

2. It's a public message board, with people from all over the world. Some will be uber nice, some will be uber bitchy, and everyone else will be somewhere in between. Just as you meet judgmental people and some who tell it like it is in real life, you'll find that on the Bump.

3. Just jumping in and starting posting is sometimes frowned on, depending on the board. Either it's because you don't really know the vibe there, or it's a tight-knit group that takes time to work into. Just as you likely wouldn't just barge into a conversation at a cocktail party, you can't always just post on a board.

4. You have no idea how many people ask a question that's been asked a million times on a board without even bothering to see if it's been posted that day. It is incredibly frustrating to have to answer that question--again--because someone didn't take the time to look around. Kind of like in real life.

5. You don't have to be here. If you don't like it, find another message board or forum to post on. But whining on the New to the Bump board isn't going to get you very far, except for people from other boards coming over to bash you more.

When I was planning my wedding (in 2006), I found the same thing on The Knot boards. So it's not surprising that the same thing happens here, seeing as many women go from The Knot, to The Nest, to The Bump. However, there are women who are helpful and nice! If you need answers or information, I think this is the place to come. If you just want to talk to people, maybe not. :-/ Sorry it's making you sad!
