New here...

LexpectoPatronum · June 2013

So I'm new to this board hello, because after 39 weeks of pregnancy and 12 weeks with the little peanut, I finally got sick and tired of all the drama, fake posts, and potstirring on the babycenter.com forums.

I've seen some posts saying it's slow here lately, but I'm wondering if it gets crazy here, too? I understand it's the internet, but I hate reading all the negativity over there, and so much judging people and purposefully trying to make people feel like bad parents for personal choices that aren't dangerous.

I totally understand that. Unfortunately you'll see some of that here too. For some reason moms are very judgemental of other moms. I never knew there was so much "mom judgement" until I became one. You would think that they were all going some "Mom of the Year" award and in order to win they have to point out other mom's "wrongdoings".

But for the most part there are many helpful people on this site and I enjoyed being on it my entire pregnancy.

Sooo welcome aboard. :-)

Welcome. I am new here too. I enjoy reading people's posts. I like reading all different opinions. Everyone is different and trying to be the best mom they can. I agree with you...we shouldn't be judging each other rather supporting each other.

Welcome! Also a fan of the name Smile

I think the 2013 March forum is pretty easy going compared to other forums around. We are generally a respectful bunch and have "discussions" over flaming.
