Hello. This is my first post (please spare me your sarcastic "thats obvious" or "click this" if your some type of gold star member)
I am TTC our second child, and wanted to meet other girls trying to do the same. I was very supprised to find bitter, nasty, Griench like women. Is this not an open forum??? Instead of lifting eachother up, many girls get caty and bitter every time someone gets BFP. I never knew internet bullying existed until now. I know that there are some great women out there who want to lend advice and SUPPORT to eachother. I hope to find them. (if they have not been terrifed to come back due to the "flaming")
P.S. if someone asks a question that you think is silly, how hard is it to click next post?

What's a Griench and who's caty?

Really? Reaaaaaaally? You never knew internet bullying existed until now? I guess that's not that hard to believe. It's definitely not a topic they ever talk about in the news or anything.
Wait- you never knew internet bullying existed until you came to this board?
Interesting.
"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
Oh Trish -- I you.
Much love to all of my magical ladies.

This.
I like your thinking.

What? She said she was looking for support, right?
Have you bee living underneath a rock?
But in all seriousness, the women on this board do not bully. They are snarky and opinionated, but they don't bully people. If you don't like honesty and some snark this is not the place for you.

You newbs and your "can't we all just get along" posts are boring me. FFS, at least sing me a verse of Kumbaya to keep me entertained. Sh!t's not going to change around here. Get over it or find a different forum.

And I agree with GM. I've gotten great support from the women you deem "bitter"
Cooper+Evie=Soulmates
I don't think that straight forward (i.e. no beating around the bush)= bitter.
Op- I am not trying to pick on you, but this drives me nuts. The "how hard is it to ignore it " thing......how hard is it to not post it?! Im just sayin'
Honest, Blunt, Straight-Forward =/= Bitter

Loved that weekend update skit.
Try the quote button, bottom right each post, I'd like to know who you think is classy
Huh?
Im going to take a wild stab in the dark that calling the women of the TTGP board class-less, and rolling your eyes at them isn't going to be the warm welcome you wanted.
ETA: By lurking I've noticed, snark that is appreciated comes with time, and posts. I.e. not your second post.
You are going to get so trashed!!!
The door is open for you to leave since clearly this is not the place for you.
Hope about introducing yourself then being so fvcking critical about people you don't even know.
they like to make others feel stupid for the same thoughts we all had when first TTC. How is that supportive? But, im glad they were able to help you.
I tried to be supportive. That's what you wanted right?
Who are you talking to? And what are you talking about?
I'm pretty sure I knew it was pointless to ask people on the internet if I was KU loooong before I came here.
do you kiss your family with that mouth?
Why wouldn't she? She posted a picture. She didn't say the words.
This. X 2
Your going to have to point to the post where someone asked a legit question and was made to feel stupid. It's extremely rare for anyone to snark a real question.
Ok, so I have to let them make fun of me before I can make a very real observational post?
I feel the same way. I guess just ignore it. I learned the hard way on one of my first posts. I've been learning alot from some of these ladies, some good and some bad. Goodluck with everything.
Make a pregnancy ticker
No, but not being whiney helps...
FTR, this isn't a "coversational post" this is a "ZOMG you all are big meanie weenie heads. STOP BEING SO MEEEAAAAN"
