Some January moms really need to get over themselves!

mari85g · July 2010

Hi ladies im not trying to be mean, but some January moms really need to get over themselves! were all here because we want to be on this board. Because we enjoy reading about what others are going through, and experiencing, because we want to be supportive for those who need it or just because we like it here. So how about we just stop and think about how blessed we all are. If it bothers you that a certain topic is constantly being repeated ignore it, its as easy as that. Theres no need to be mean. Some people are not on this board 24/7 and do not have the time to go back and check to see if a topic has already been addressed. I am not sorry if I irritated or annoyed anyone with my post "How much weight have you gained" I wasnt in any way trying to brag or neither was I concerned about my weight because my doctor had just told that I was right where she wanted me to be. So why dont we all just have a lovely day and enjoy the rest of our pregnancy ! Thanks Wink

Wow, what a hypocritical, b!tchy post.

skoogirl · July 2010

WTF? Stop with the angry posts already. We heard you the first time.

KLResq · July 2010

I missed your original post, and presumably whatever f/u post you are venting about, but try to remember that this is a public message board. "Jan moms" and thebump.com in general represent a cross-section of women out there. You have nice ones, mean ones, and lots of ladies in between. If you get flamed, try not to take it personally. Ladies just get fed up with hearing some things over and over, and for whatever reasons, there are certain hot button/taboo topics on the bump (see: gender vs. sex debate & weight posts). Just move on, and remember for as many crank pots as there are out there, there are just as many nice ladies ready to answer your questions.

Um, yeah. This.

OP, you may want to do a little lurking to determine if this is really the right forum for you, before writing your next manifesto....

skroops · July 2010

Yeah, why don't you try posting more than 18 times before you decide to tell other people what to do. Last time I checked, this was a PUBLIC message board and people can post whatever they want - that goes for the weight posts that some people find annoying, as well as the "What's with all the weigh posts?" posts. Even though some people get annoyed or may disagree with what certain people say, that doesn't give them any less right to post.

Get over yourself

Amen. OP, Not sure if you realize the can of "fun" you've just opened for yourself?! And to think I was just going to log off...**sitting back down at my desk with afternoon snack**

I am not here to insult anyone much less tell them what to do ..... I do apoligize for posting the thread twice I did try deleting but the time had expired. Thanks

Molluskwrangler · July 2010

Wow, you really took her asking about the weight posts personally, there were like 2 others that day too...no one else made a post just to complain.

I agree either get used to people being annoyed, lurk more or go elsewhere...they have every right to post what they want just like you do, but expect others to say something.

broccolitree · July 2010

Sorry, all I can hear is, 'waaaaah.'

Take your ball and go home.

Really? Cause that is pretty much exactly what you did. Tell everyone that they need to "be nice" and then say "and I'm NOT sorry if I annoyed anyone with my weight post". Yeah, you didn't want to insult anyone. And you certainly weren't trying to tell people what to do, right? So, what exactly was the point of this post then???

UnexpectedlyMom11 · July 2010

I thought this was the drama-free zone

come on, try to remember you are dealing with hormone ridden ladies, & take it w/ a grain of salt. yeeish

If that's not what you're here for then why did you write this? To scold a bunch of internet strangers because they were annoyed by your post?

mari85g · July 2010

Just an fyi I wasnt complaining about the repeated posts about weight gaining I was reposnding to all those who were bothered by them. Like I said if something is being repeated then I just ignore it! theres absolutely no need to be mean I am not the type that likes to attack people I just thought I would share my opinion like everyone else does.

PeetiePie · July 2010

I missed the earlier posts, but I had to use this PIP again.

hjk5000 · July 2010

Ok, so if I can just address two things you said in your original post:

"Some people are not on this board 24/7 and do not have the time to go back and check to see if a topic has already been addressed." ---It takes way less time to click on page 2 or 3 of the board than it does to type out a brand new post.

and

"I wasnt in any way trying to brag or neither was I concerned about my weight because my doctor had just told that I was right where she wanted me to be."---Then WTF was the point of your post in the first place?

kbuns · July 2010

I just read your originally post and no one was even rude.. all Izz said was she was sick of these post.. which most of us are. Why don't you read through the past 2-3 days and you will see what has been going on. We like to stay drama free here, but we aren't going to let someone come in here and talk Sh*t about us either.

If you were responding to something, you should have just stayed within that post. It is not ok to start a new post to complain about how we don't support you. We don't support people when they are just whining about other people being annoyed by them.

Yes Exactly!

mari85g · July 2010

Just to know where everyone else was at, thats all. Because some of us do like to know how everyone else is doing with their weight even if its asked everyday.

and some don't. It goes both ways. Your original post didn't bother me in the least. This nonsense on the other hand....all I hear is Crying .

I think you are the one who needs to get over yourself and move on.

erm, ok. Somehow I think you just wanted to tell the world you gained 3 pounds and this was your outlet to do so. That's fine, but if you expected the entire board to throw you a party, (or if you expected this post telling us all to get over ourselves will actually change things) then you really need to lurk a little more.

mari85g · July 2010

I never said "all you" I said "some" and I never said I never said I gained 3 pounds so I think you have it kind of wrong sorry.

skroops · July 2010

mari85g:

And honestly, a lot of us are here for the entertainment value that the bump provides. I mean, I love to talk about my pregnancy, and think that the support is great, but I will be the first to admit that I love me some bump drama! And I know that I'm not alone on this one --just look at all the views the "drama" posts get.

My advice to you would be to lurk a little more to get the feel of the board, join in on the discussions, and have fun! And try to not to let things here get other your skin. After all, at the end of the day we are all basically a bunch of internet strangers, right?

Oh sorry, you hadn't gained any. Party!!!

mari85g · July 2010

Yes for the most part I am just a lurker, I like reading posts that are interesting and ignore that ones that arent. The reason why I even started this post was because of all the other post that came after I posted " how much weight have you gained" but like someone said theres nice ladies, mean ladies, and everything else in between. thanks to all that responded to my post even those that were mean about it thanks ladies!

kpv · July 2010

I think you are the #1 candidate for a Jan Mom who needs to get over herself!

BlondeDutchess912 · July 2010

oh my... did posting this (twice) take more or less time than looking around the board???? You asked a reeat question and got called out, now GET OVER YOURSELF!

Who cares if posts came out after? You don't think that's going to happen? I thought you ignore the posts that aren't interesting? You are such a hypocrite and are trying to dig yourself out of this hole. Not going to happen. Especially since no one was mean in any of their posts after yours. A simple vent about repetitive posts (especially pointless ones about weight), is not an attack, nor is it anyone being mean. You've been the only mean one.

You are way too sensitive, and you need to grow up.

mchupie · July 2010

LOL. Come on ladies, get over yourselves! Stick out tongue

izzourclue · July 2010

Ok, I just woke up from a nap, but my post about being sick of weight posts was not directed at you specifically. You just happened to post the latest in a string of daily weight posts. But you are obviously directing this post at specific people so maybe you should get over yourself. If that discussion hurt your feelings, you are not going to like it on the bump very much.

LittleApple · July 2010

You need to start with getting over yourself.

izzourclue · July 2010

If you think that was mean, you have had a very easy life thus far. Must be nice.

nygirl07 · July 2010

LittleApple:

That's what I was going to say and like a few PP said...what was the point of the original post post then. I personally don't mind when someone asks how much we've gained but I don't like when people post just b/c to brag about the lack of weight gain or how tiny everyone is saying they are...even you aren't bragging then there really is no reason to post it unless you were worried about it but you said your Dr was fine with it

midnight*sun · July 2010

I'm sorry, but who the H#ll are you? You've got 23 posts and you tell us we need to get over ourselves? How about you hop off your soap box, hand over the bull horn and chill out. This is by far the most hypocritical post we've had and for you to decide it's your duty tell "some January moms" to get over themselves, well, take a look in the mirror honey. Nobody singled you out. The point wasn't all about you and your weight. It was the sheer volume of the same frickin' post going up almost every day. If you don't trust your doctor's opinion on your weight get a different doctor. In general most women on here are extremly supportive, but when it comes to you not listening to your doctor or paying attention to previous posts, that support and sympathy goes out the window.

BTW- This isn't a support group so pull up your big girl panties, turn off the violin that is playing your pity song and for goodness sakes, gets some thicker skin.
