People here are judgmental and mean. I know we're all trying to be open and honest but damn! I read some replies and it makes me cringe. I never post because I'm afraid of what everyone is going to say.
Have you not been to other boards on thebump??? This one is very low key. I might suggest you go to baby-gaga instead, as things will only get worse with time here. Just be warned, you wont get the same honestly elsewhere.
I agree that this board is far, far gentler than other ones on TB.
And, just a heads up, but this post alone is probably going to prompt some serious snarkiness.
I seriously wanted to be a total b in my response ..... because I hate posts like this. By "calling out" people for being mean, you're not going to change how things happen here .... so it's like either get over it or check out baby gaga .... haha
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
Yeah, you're just gonna have to let it be. It is what it is and a post like this isn't going to change it. There are mean people everywhere. The Internet is definitely not the exception.
I've actually found the ladies here to be really nice so far... The only real snark has gone to the crazies, of which there haven't been many.... Yet!!

This is such a surprise to see!! I genuinely think we have a really friendly board....and I'm someone who avoids some of the other boards because of ott snark!
Re: Mean
Don't be completely dumb and you'll be fine.
But if you can't handle the snark, I suggest you find a different board.

Wow, what prompted this? I think this board is pretty tame compared to most of the others.

And now its time for you to go, thanks for stopping by. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.
I think this one is just trying to stir up sh!t.
I'm already a great mom. Thanks for the well wishes.

Can we all agree to let this thread die and not let it hit page two? There's just no reason.
Moving on...
I couldn't have said it better myself! Bye bye!
Haha I hope so. I have no clue where this came from.

Pot meet kettle
Huh. I find it interesting that you have posted the meanest thing on this thread.
Also, have you really not looked at other boards on this site? This is one of the most tame and friendly I have seen.
