Re: There's a DH among us?!
That's what I thought too. I was confused until I read through more posts. Yay for DH on the board!
this... I'm obviously missing something

Welcome, welcome to him!
I dig it.
I swear, though, I'm a gay man (the bear type) trapped in a woman's body anyway. I love men. I've always wished there were more men on this board. There's a couple who post on the AP board, but I've never seen one here before. Yay!

I am so naive. That didn't even occur to me until you mentioned it.
Well, regardless of his/her private parts, I hope he/she feels comfortable posting here. It must be hard to find a place to talk about parenting after you've lost a child.
I feel this way too...
You guys, this is the INTERNET. You should never feel safe here.
I don't like the idea one bit. A) I don't think it's a guy and
There is no man out there that I know who would spend his time on The Bump C) I find it very odd that "he" had a comment after every other comment left on the post.......
I don't think anyone used the term "safe", we said comfortable. As in talking with other women, about women things.
I think he is, but I've seen him post on the Military Families board before.

Umm.....okay.....was gonna open with a joke like "Who???? Where???" but yeah....guess that'd be as well received as I am.
I'm not one to go reading TMI threads or anything....I try to stay in my own zone....though I did know more about OB/GYN than my wife did when we got pregnant (but thats from being an Army medic, its part of the job).
I've been around females all my life, and before marrying my wife spent 4yrs with a female roommate and her daughter (she was a friend of my sister from back home who also lived in the city, worked as a nurse, and neither of us could afford our own place right after school) and in those 4yrs, I learned waaaaaaaay more about female stuff than most guys learn in a lifetime.... I guess I just didn't think anyone would have an issue with me being here, as I only try to stay within my scope of knowledge.
I don't mean to step on toes, or make anyone uncomfortable...I've just kinda turned to blogging as an outlet because I'm a writer, and don't get to work on my book or many projects these days because of how time consuming they are. I also enjoy interacting with other people, which is hard to do IRL here because aside from the other medics, I don't really like hanging out with too many people (everyone is some sort of military here) here because it seems everyone either chain smokes (I quit for my kids), is an alcoholic (because of my physical rehab, not supposed to even drink much), plays golf (I don't understand that "sport"), college football (okay....really....UH is not the most important thing in the world....and YOU didn't even go there!!!!),
or thinks its okay to cheat on your/their spouse (I don't even know how many females I've had to flash my ring at.......and THAT doesn't even work 70% of the time)......what ever happened to the idea that someone can be happily married to their soul mate? All the guy here talk about women all the time.....The only woman I'm thinking about is my wife, and I'm not going to talk about her like a piece of meat..... I guess my parents, when raising us, didn't realize that respect, morals, and integrity are going out of style.
Now....I have been referred to as the "gay male friend" before, because I'm a loyal guy, cheating is not an option or a possibility in my book, so I can have an honest, heartfelt convo with my female friends without "looking" at them or hitting on them....and I don't think most of them expected that from a guy......platonic means PLATONIC.....females are just so much easier to talk to than guys......guys have too much ego
ahhh crap.....sorry I went long again......got on a roll......
I often find myself getting comfortable here and I forget that it is not a private board by any means. I am always one too quick to trust and take all of you for who you say you are -- which I hope is true, because I love each one of you!
As for having a DH on the board... I'm kind of torn. I believe he should have a place to express himself without judgment and receive support just like we do, but maybe TB should create a board just for DHs? I don't know.
Either way, Bec&Elly, I am so sorry for your loss. Honestly, I hope you never "get over it". Where you've been and what you've done are always a part of who you are. You shouldn't expect to just forget about your baby girl. She is and always will be a big sister to your twins.
I personally feel it's ridiculous to think a man shouldn't post here. But I suppose everyone is entitled to their own feelings.
Though the internet is sure as hell not a 'private place' when I can find the posts through, ya know, google.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, God knows I have MANY.
On an added note: I realized, after joining the Army after Vicki passed, that because her life was so tragically cut short, I couldn't just sit around and mope.....I am responsible for living for the both of us.....I survived that for a reason, and can't waste my life.....which is why I do my best to do everything to the best of my ability, and help anyone I can....everyday is a new day, with new possibilities, especially with the LOs growing and learning so fast
....that was a lil convoluted.....
I never said that he shouldn't post here or that he wasn't welcome. I just stated that I wasn't sure about it. He is more than welcome to post wherever he wants, it is a public board. Alot of people put words in my mouth and I don't understand why I was referred to as a being a jerk. I was just stating my opinion.
I agree with him that everyday is a a new day and we can't waste it. Do whatever makes you happy and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
That is all.
Well said...
FWIW, I don't think you were being a jerk at all.
This! Of course... sometimes I wonder if there is a guy among us acting like a lady.
I don't really think anyone was being a "jerk", just expressing their opinions, some more strongly than others...
Though I have to say, I don't think I'd want to be a female....all the crap my wife has been through, you all have the short end of the stick (but that is probably 10000% made up for by the fact that you all get the babies)
I'll stick to not having to wear a shirt around others, peeing standing up, and waking up with perfect hair each morning.....I also like the way "Daddy" sounds, in reference to me....
