I totally agree with you. I guess I was mistaken too, because I thought this was supposed to be a support board too (bra or no bra), or at the very least, a way to share experiences with others who may be going through something similar. Sometimes I think people come on here and compete to see who can make the snottiest comment. It totally annoys me, but I attempt to ignore it. There are some good ladies on here, and I don't want to let the few bad apples spoil it for me.

You will find support on this board if you just think before you type.

Example...if the chick who is dizzy and vomitting came here and asked, "has anyone gone through this?", she may have gotten a nicer answer. Instead, she came saying "I called my Dr. who told me to go to the ER, what shoud I do?". Ding, ding...you should go to the ER because that is what your Dr, said.

If you are posting an intelligent question, you'll most likely find an intelligent answer. Get it ladies? It's not that hard.

And remember, google is your friend.

I get what you're saying, and I too, was one of the folks that told that lady to go to the ER. IMO, there is a difference between saying "Well if your doctor told you to go to the ER, then you should go to the ER" and saying something like "Duh, you idiot, go to the ER!"

People can come on here and behave any way they want ... that's their business. I just prefer to go easy on folks.

This! OMG I almost choked on my french fry when I saw this post! I totally love Buffy. Anywho! I'm a Newbie who has been lurking (since I was 6 weeks along) for the most part with the occasional post and even I know better than to post something like that! Geesh...!

All I hear is "whine whine whine".

In all honesty, I have found this place really helpful.

Apparently you need a backbone to be here, something you should look into before you have your LO.

Good luck!

What I find funny is the amount of people who post comments to threads such as this, like "we've seen this post before, get over it"....over and over and over again. It's almost as if certain people wait for this to come up so they can reply.

So yes, we have seen this topic come up...we don't need 50 people to reply that this is the case.

I don't think you get what I'm saying...bottom line is, if you are an idiot, you deserve the response you get.

You are just a nicer person than some of us.

As if that post is going to make the "bad apples", or whatever you want to call them, stop being snotty and catty and hilarious? Pshh...

We should all have our own board... we can just be as mean and "hateful" as we want!

I was in a meeting for an hour and came back to some good reads. Thanks ladies

jshu610 · May 2010

Yawn....this post has been done a million times already. It's an internet message board, not a support group.

Estellankase · May 2010

MLsBride06:

Fabulous!!

To OP- Someone needs the big girl panties!

Simplemom · May 2010

Thats alright.. they WILL teach their children how to treat others then complain when some other snarky kid slaps the crap out of em in school. LOL. Yeah I have like 10 posts, cause I did need a support board, this is my first, I was really scared, it was a huge surprise.. and I found this board.. so Now I just send the posts around to all my friends and we make fun of the rich b!tches that never have anything nice to say... ever, and I found out my place of business has a nurse support hotline. So I use that. Also, some of the monthly boards are better. I think the Trimester boards are more Silver and Gold posters only allowed? Just to let you know

I like how you managed to get 6o some odd responses though, Go you!!

CMSullivan326 · May 2010

I'm sorry, but when I first joined the Bump I lurked around to see what everything was about before I even started posting. I knew in NO time that this was a place that I could ask questions, but I also knew that when I asked for an OPINION, I would get it. It didn't matter if I wanted to hear it or not. And what I love is when they get their panties in a bunch because they don't like what they're being told and say, "Why do you have to be so MEAN! Can't we act like GROWN ADULTS?!"...Umm, I thought GROWN ADULTS wore big girl panties and could be mature enough to know what opinions are and how they work...guess not...Seriously, get off the "meanie" posts, this is one in a million....

Here, here. If you have to be nasty on a website to strangers you really need to check yourself.

What you ladies aren't getting is that no one is mean. We are honest with our opinions and will tell those who are ridiculous that they are. That's not mean. It's straight forward and to the point. If you only want to hear the sweet answers and have people beat around the bush, ask your friends. They're generally not honest...

Yules · May 2010

Man, you guys are like vultures. Kick em while they're down. I love a good argument, but sometimes I think people disagree for the sake of starting beef on here. Throwing around insults on a pregnancy board is like blowing spitballs in 1st grade. So dumb.

...we're all rich?

And I think that was a good call on your screen name. 'Simple' seems quite apt. Well done!

*snort* That's all I got from her post, too. I know I'm not a "gold" or "silver" but can I be rich too, please?! Confused

Motion to create a sticky thread on the New to the Bump board titled, "Don't come here looking for support!" or something similar.

Hmm... better yet, nevermind. What fun would it be if these posts disappeared? Such a conundrum.

Oh come on, throwing spitballs in first grade wasn't dumb. It was fun back then. It was dumb in high school and college.
