January 2011 Moms

i found the drama motha-load!

Soooo, I was lurking over on the Feb '11 board thinking I'd check it out, see what those ladies were up to and introduce myself since my EDD is the end of January. I very well expect I could have a February Love Bug. Anyway, not the point. Holy f-ing drama! This is just ONE of the threads over there...it's sort of like "Newbs Gone Wild"

I just want to say for the record that I love our chill board!!!

For your Friday night reading pleasure...

  • I normally don't like to read drama, but that one actually made me smile. Newbs Gone Wild, indeed.

    The initial responses weren't catty at all.  OP and the other "inexperienced posters" where the ones that started the cat fight.  FWIW, I would tell anyone posting on this board that wants to pay OOP for an u/s at 14 weeks just to find out the gender that its a giant waste of money too.  But a jolly good read.  Thanks! 

    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Can I just say that the whole time I was reading that all I could think of is:

    "It is totally not fair for the February Girls to find out their baby's gender before I do....I'm due in January for Pete's Sake!!!"

    But I suppose if they want to pay for semi-accurate results so early....many of them probably will know before me. Tongue Tied

    Hey, its a 50/50 shot.  That's better odds than you would find anywhere in Vegas.  Here I'll give you the equivalent analysis of what that girl getting the u/s at 14 weeks is going to get.  You are having a..........boy!  Congrats!  Paint the room blue and buy a bunch of trucks.

  • Lol, Isn't that the same board that got bent out of shape because a Feb. momma had her due date moved up to the end of January and they said she didn't belong there anymore so she came here? I'm glad we are overall pretty chill. I hang out here and the Dec. momma's board and have been very lucky so far! I also have an awesome anniversary board. I've been pretty spoiled.

    That post made me want to cry.  It was more like "I don't want to nurse him or change his diaper because he is a boy".  AWFUL.

    I wouldn't pay OOP either. I'm patiently waiting to see my little babe. I haven't had 1 u/s yet. I didn't either with my 1st.

    You wonder why you get posts like "They told me the wrong sex!" later on in the 3rd tri. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

  • Yeah, I wouldn't pay, I'd rather take the chance that it's a mystery.  Thanks for sharing, I lurk over there once in awhile, b,c I was originally there, and my EDD got changed...I got some "what are you doing here, it's weird you are posting this isn't your month" lol.

  • Wow that was like the most catty post over nothing I have seen...
  • I seriously almost choked when I read the, you should get an ultra sound soon to be sure the baby isn't shoved up your a$$.

    Same here... I feel like I'm going to be the last to know on 9/7 IF the baby is agreeable... 

  • imagebeautifulsin90:
    Wow that was like the most catty post over nothing I have seen...

    My thoughts exactly.  Personally, I wouldn't pay OOP for an extra u/s either, but I really think some of the responses were pretty harsh for the subject metter of the post.  I truly think that some people just stalk the boards looking for what they consider "dumb newb posts" so that they can lay into them.   Seriously, it's not like this girl's post was all that flameworthy.

    Yup, I agree.  I was honestly surprised at how many people chimed in to say they were getting elective scans that early.  It was only a matter of time before someone swooped in to remind them that they aren't very accurate. 

    Same thing happens with Intelligender posts all the time...and OP usually gets all pissy in response.

    I think the post became flameworthy when OP responded in a bratty way to kdodge's very reasonable response (and it wasn't near as blunt as I've seen).  I thought kdodge actually held herself back quite a bit.

  • Yeah, looking at it again I guess the responses weren't that bad.  Someone said something along the lines of "well blow your money however you want to, but it will probably be wrong".  Idk, some of the sn's in that post are familiar to me from my time on other boards and I have seen them jump in from all over the place just to flame people so I'm probably a little biased. 

    You're right though, she definitely over reacted.

    I think people always think they have stumbled on this new, great technology to find out the gender early.  They post about it, and expect to get responses like, "that's so cool!" and "I can't wait to try it, thanks for telling us!"  Then they get all butt hurt when people inform them that all of this stuff is pretty much a scam and waste of money.

    HAHA butt hurt, I love it.  You are completely correct.  It really makes me laugh that people think it is 80% accurate and that your pee can tell you the sex of your baby.

    Haha... so true.  The same is starting to happen with the stupid Uddercovers.  It's posted every freaking day on multiple boards, and people are starting to respond with snark.  It's pretty awesome when the OP gets defensive.

    If it makes you ladies feel better...I don't even have the anatomy scan scheduled yet...so I can't even guess as to how much longer I have to wait. I have an appt. on Monday though, so I should get to schedule it then.
