Felt the need to repost for those new to the bump. Hopefully it brings you laughter and will help you in dealing with some on other sites. Not sure if it's still on, but I found this article on the bump.
4. The Board-Nazi Mama
There are those who have been on a board for ages and establish themselves as an "unofficial authority." And then there are those who seem to live or die by the boards -- to the point where you may start to wonder where their baby is and whether or not it?s being tended to. If you?re a newbie to the boards, watch out -- she?ll be the first to tell you that your question?s been asked a thousand times before or that you should really take yourself to another board, where people have the time to answer all your annoying queries. Yeah, she can be a bit of a bully, but sadly, she?s been around these parts for so long it seems no one bothers to overthrow her.
Re: Repost regarding Nazi Mama's for those just starting
And you could have chosen NOT to repost it.
Only intended for those who would get a laugh at certain women on the bump, not to offend anyone. Quite a few ladies enjoyed it, that's why it was reposted in the hopes those new to the bump would know what's out there. I got a kick out of it and hoped others would have also.
Oh stop it! It's not the title that was funny at all. The point being made here was that of different posters on here. Sorry you didn't get the point of the message which some of it again is below. Again, not the "title", but the message within...
"There are those who have been on a board for ages and establish themselves as an "unofficial authority.""
And yet not one single person has responded with anything positive and that they've "gotten a kick out of it"
Yes it was SO true and funny to the ones it didn't pertain to.
The overall message of the article was funny, and certainly true of many boards. However, I had a hard time reading it after gagging over the title. I'm sure it would have been possible to adjust the size of the 'cut and paste' there.
This.

Then came a baby in the baby carriage May 16, 12
Waiting on our second little peanut!
WELL.... I think its pretty funny, and I actually almost walked away from this site because of these women. The purpose of this site is to get women together to support one another and share information... right?! I have seen a lot of women post snarky comments to honest questions and act very horribly to success stories such as those who post they are KU on TTC boards.
I chose to stay on because of this post... and a few others.... that made me realize not everyone on the bump is like that.
Thank you!!!
Awe...that's exactly why I posted it. Those "Mama's" don't scare me. LOL! Who cares you've been on a site forever! Everyone has the right to ask whatever they want w/o being flamed. I might repost again so that other mom's know there are moms out there other then the not so nice ones.
Umm...Have you had the soup?! It is SO GOOD!
