So I visited the 3rd tri boards, and was a little shell shocked at how brutal they can be.
........Don't get me wrong. There are idiots all over this world, but I guess I just don't have time to be petty and b!tch at people on TB. That's also not saying I haven't shared my opinion on this board, or given unsolicited advice lol (I'm an angel.)
On another note. I AM SO GLAD that our board rocks- I'm never leaving you Dec. '10 Moms. You'll be hearing about my kid graduate as far as I'm concerned lol
Re: Not so sure about the 3rd tri board
Yes, we play much nicer here. Some of the December girls like drama and snark and (hopefully) get it all out of their systems over there. I like that every board has its own personality so there's a "place" for everyone.
I swear, we didn't have these for the longest time...
I, for one, enjoy the 3rd tri board. Many of them are entertaining and not because of snark or saying fvck a lot, but because they have found the art of talking about things other than weight gain/ mucous plugs/ bloody shows and pooping during delivery; all of which I'm bored of hearing about. Even if it's just funny banter- it's something to pass the day.
I think the problem is- far too many people take themselves far too seriously. Most of the time the "brutality" is only because someone said something stupid and instead of owning it and admitting they said something stupid, they get all defensive and butthurt.
Yeah, out of nowhere we've gotten a few of them!
I don't post on third tri, but I lurk and find them very entertaining. The snark doesn't bother me at all.
The snark doesn't bother me either, I think it's entertaining. I'll lurk on there ocassionally but I usually bump from work and it's distracting enough to follow one board.
the dec mama board is a little different being that it our "home team" board. its a little more tolerable and understanding but at the same time it can have its moments. there are also a smaller amount of us, so that makes us closer too!
the 3 tri board really isn't as bad as you think, and believe it or not, all the boards are exactly the same and go with the same flow... the key is to think before you post, remember google is your friend, and try not to take anything from here to heart. and never delete a post either, you'll just make it worse for yourself... just follow those tips and you'll be just fine! lots of luck!
I think you might be my bump soul mate. I'm willing to bet you and I are thinking of the same people.
You are correct.
