I hate that new posters get the side-eye now.

Ever since this MN thing, I look at new posters and wonder if it is MN with an AE or another faker. I hate feeling that way. It is so sad. Anyone else?

    I find that I am suspicious of a lot of newcomers, which is sad. I feel guilty because I'm sure most of these women are real and just looking for support so I always try to put my suspicions aside.

    When I first posted on this board, the day I found out I was having twins, I felt like people didn't believe me.. they were asking so many questions instead of a congratulations and I was a little confused until I hung out here and realized that there are fakers galore- I see why people were a little hesitant with me (esp. since I didnt find out twins until my first u/s at 20 weeks)

    I am only suspicious of a few that I see.  After the detective in the previous post mentioned that fakers often have several kids in a short amount of time, I was thinking people probably thought I was fake when I first joined this board! ; )

    I used to post a lot when I was pregnant, but haven't had a lot of time to post since having the girls.  Now that I've been back to work and things have settled down I can hopefully post more often.

    I think many of us have given them the side-eye for a long time. I think the whole kathleenlarson thing was spring '09--my boys were still pretty little--so I've been skeptical since then. ;)

    I was a fairly frequent poster/lurker back when I first became pregnant with twins. Then I deleted my account because I was spending way too much time on the computer. Once the twins arrived, I really wanted to come back to the Bump because I needed the advice. Anyway, when I came back I felt like people thought I was a faker. I also don't post pics of my kids, and I always feel like people wonder why....I just am weird about it. But alas, I am real.

     Spring of '09 was right before I signed up. But I was totally oblivious other times people were called out. When everyone defended MN, though, I started reading her posts more carefully and they just didn't add up. So she's the one who did it for me. Probably won't shake my skepticism.
