I clicked on the July board by mistake and OMG the drama over there... My take on it is a couple of girls had their babies too early and are in the NICU (which is horrible) But some of the ladies wanted to donate money and send them cards and a teddy bear and also a gift card. Well some girl created a fake name and started flaming the girl that was collecting and saying she kept some of the money and didnt really send a gift card. OMG the drama, i feel so bad for the ladies that babies were born early but that is a whole lot of drama over there.
<---thankful we dont have drama that bad!
Re: Clicked on the wrong board and OMG..
oh my goodness! We've only had one baby born over here right? Can't believe there has been some born over there!
Love how drama free our board is
you mean here? Yes, EMNI had hers last week!

from what i take (because lets face it i read it because who doesnt love reading about drama especially when it has nothing to do with you), there are 3 girls that had babies. One girl had twins and i believe the other two just had one baby each. They were all born around 23 - 24 weeks.
I couldnt even imagine what they are going through. A couple of them posted pictures and it broke my heart to see the babies with tubes and how small they are
Oh that is so sad! Why must people be so immature. They must not have anything better to do with their time. Wow, that makes me sad.
I LOVE this board.
immaturity like that is just horrible.
I hope their LO's do well in the NICU.
I am so glad that all of us June mamas held out for this long at least.

really? I'm guessing it's the June board and real life for her...for someone to think the June board it mean to them, it's got to be a personal problem.

My thoughts exactly. She must live as a hermit if she thinks people on this board are mean.
please feel free to link the post in here so we can all get a good laugh!
Lol I'm technically a July mama but I lurk over here ALL the time (And my C-Section will most likely be June 30th because I'm having twins!)! I don't even bother reading the drama on July...it is not for me!
After 2 years, Injects, PCOS diagnosis and 2 IUI's, we were blessed with our beautiful twin girls!

did she delete? This link doesn't work. Can't imagine anyone thinking we are mean over here! I don't think I ever see anything snarky here!
oh my link was to the post referenced in the original post...the AE, etc.
I didn't see the other one. I'd be interested to see who posted it too. I'd show her what mean was if she really thinks we're mean.
Exactly. Like those women aren't going through enough and there's gotta be drama about ways to support them? Ugh women can be horrible! I LOVE our board....I feel like I go to the other boards and then come back to this one for a dose of reality before getting offline.
I love our board, too. I don't think anyone is outwardly trying to hurt anyones feelings. I've been on here for six months now and I can count maybe one or two controversial posts that have cropped up.
Our board is the best. I read the March/April boards sometimes just to get excited, and bitches are wild!
I remember another girl had her baby too from June, a few weeks ago, due to pre-E and unfortunately the little girl didn't make it. I've completely forgot who it was, but remember the babies name started with a C.

This is so sad! I have no idea how I missed that.
That little girl's name was Carter Marie but I don't remember the mom's name. And here is the thread of the June mom who doesn't like us: It's my first time posting a link so I hope it works.

Seriously, it wasnt like the comment was made on a bumpy name choice it was a complete stranger who is named/ naming her children stripper sounding names what about the New Zealand couple who tried to name their kid "4real" are they any less cruel then naming your child lovely (or whatever it was) like seriously we arent mean here but somtimes people have to lighten up. it was funny, it made us all laugh.
Wow I can't believe any of this. This is not the first time someone on our board clicked on July and was put off by the drama. Why so much drama online?And gosh please let's keep it out of here.
Also I feel really bad that someone from our board thinks there is drama here or that we are mean here. I haven't had that sense at all!
To CLEAR UP THE DRAMA.
The AE posted this:
"So I would like to take the time to question Duhdaisy on all the money she collected from the group. She said she sent Mefunko flowers, a plush dog, and a card, but where did the rest of the money go. Hmmm maybe in her pocket to buy things she wants. Last time I checked flowers and a plush dog did not cost $400.
Also nothing against Mefunko but, what about all the other ladies who are having a hard time, stuck in the hospital, scared that their baby might come early, or those whose unborn children have a genetic defect. Why are they not getting flowers or cards? Just because she was a member of the fb group? What about the other July mom who just had twins why is she not getting flowers?
I do feel for Mefunko and what she is going through but what makes her different than the rest of us. That we can not take remaining money and purchase flowers for others. (Like the twins that were just born) Just figured I would say what many on here are thinking. I will not apologize for having an opinion."
Which was a low blow. Since no one really knew about the twins being born. Since not everyone is on TB at the same time.
No one kept any money. The collection was done for one person. Since it was only one person.
Before you comment on DRAMA or How MESSED UP one group is to another. Get the correct info.
Just my $0.02 from the July board: It was two women,mefunkho, who had a little girl named Addyson and mrs.lee. mrslee had twins a boy named Grayson and a little girl named Audrey. No one even knew mrs.lee was having complications until this morning when we saw she had her babies. Mefunkho on the other hand has been keeping us updated through the bump for the past couple weeks (ish). We decided to pool our money together to send her flowers and a stuffed animal and we all agreed that the left over money would go on a GC to mefunkho, not be saved to fund other potential issues in the future. The AE's accusations this morning were outrageous. Duhdaisy, who collected the money and handled everything has already put the money on a GC and is waiting to send it, because she wants to put it in a card, and who really wants a congratulations card and LO God forbid didn't make it. (worst case scenario there as an example)

When the first Bumpie went into labor (at 22 wks no less) she kept us posted via text message to another Bumpie. We all have been reading updates and praying for this fellow poster for a couple weeks. The idea of flowers/gift/money came up during those weeks and one poster agreed to be the "collector" Bumpie #1 was also a regular poster.
We had no idea that the second Bumpie was going through her ordeal with the twins. We just all found this out this morning when she finally posted after almost a month of being MIA. We had no idea until today when she came back online to update. It's hard to start a collection for someone when you have no idea that something is amiss, no one realized she wasn't around because Bumpie #2 wasn't an extremely regular poster.
That's why we did it for one person and not the other. We weren't picking favorites.
Ok we've had 3 babies born, one we knew was coming early, & was born a few days ago, the twins we never heard about until this morning they were born a week ago tomorrow.
Not even 4 hours after MrsLees announcement on the twins birth the AE came screaming at us because we hadnt started a collection for her & every other 7/11er with a hang nail.
Had we been given the day we would have started a collection for her, now everyones so scared of being ripped off no one will.
The AE OP was the only drama on the board. What Duhdaisy did was an amazing thing for Mefunkho. Sadly now Im afraid no one else will be able to benefit as well.
Now you can go back to your regularly scheduled puppy dog & unicorn bliss.
I don't think anyone was saying your group is messed up - nor did anyone say that what you girls did for the one girl wasn't nice. No need to get so defensive.
I missed hearing from you, and I am glad to know you and your LO's are still doing well. Lots of Love from July (no sarcasm i promise, but I know that doesn't read well does it
)
