F@!? You!

kcyoung7219 · April 2011

I just have to say I am recently new to the bump. I have been on here only two weeks and going through the posts or posting myself. I often see snotty comments and answers and sometime disrespectful comments. There are new poeple signing up daily and come up to this website for information and help. I know I will discontinue use of this site just because of this. If you don't like what the posts is or sick of seeing ti posted a 1,000 times, why don't you not respond or just continue reading the next posts. you are not obligated to answer a post. what a welcoming website!

wishywashy123 · April 2011

What boards are you referring to? 1st Trimester, a specific month board, etc. You just learn to not open certain posts, pick out the ones you do want to read, etc. I just laugh the snarky ones off but SOMETIMES they are warranted. Stay a little longer. You'll figure out the ones that are not that way.

HazelBee22 · April 2011

Wow, because this isn't a snotty or disrespectful at all.

There is a certain culture to the bump. It isn't all puppies and rainbows. If you are looking for people to blow glitter up your ass I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Pocky873 · April 2011

Sorry this isn't the place for you. Posting something like this is definitely not going to win you any friends around here, though. In general (and this is true in life, too), you get what you give. When people come here asking stupid, uneducated questions, they will get stupid back in response. That's just the way it is. I looked at your old posts and no one was rude or snarky to you. Maybe you'll have more luck with a different board, like babygaga.com.

MrsOlson · April 2011

If you think that was nice.. then F you too.

Sheesh.. Put on your BGP if you want to be here . Otherwise there is always babygaga you can check out.

Chill out.

Yes

Aren't you doing the same thing you are b!tching about? If YOU don't like the snark, follow your own advice and ignore it.

You might like BabyGaga better.

lindseymik13 · April 2011

If you think this rough wait until you have your baby and everyone will judge your parenting style. Not everyone is going to be nice to everyone. Try babygaga.

PitterPat11 · April 2011

yikes...this isn't going to go well.

Best thing would have been to lurk a little longer, people are rude, snarky, and b!tchy in real life too, not just on message boards. Sorry you don't feel welcome here, maybe you could find another message board elsewhere. There are tons. I hear ModernBliss is a great one

kcyoung7219 · April 2011

yea. you definitely get what you give. and i'm just giving back from the many snotty comments that I have read from others posts. i'm not expecting glitter and rainbows but people come here for support and help, you should raise them up and help regardless if it 's a stupid question or you've heard before. or just not answer. if you don't have nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all. I am usually a quiet girl that keeps to herself but today I felt compelled to say something. Good Riddance.

kcyoung7219 · April 2011

thanks!

This is not a support group. It's a message board. And I'll reiterate what I said before: no one was rude to YOU. What do you care if someone was rude to someone else? Maybe the recipient deserved what she got. Your mind seems to be made up, so best of luck with your pregnancy.

Wah!!! Crying

SeaStar430 · April 2011

If you want a site that is puppies and rainbows, then find another site. This is not the right place for you. I can never understand why people come on here and expect hundreds of thousands of people to change the entire culture of the board because it doesn't fit their needs. If you don't like it, don't chat here. Obviously for thousands of other women, this is a great place where we aren't just looking for someone to blow sunshine up our butts.

caren5980 · April 2011

I know! I have been on here only 2 weeks actively and some of the women are b#tchy and rude. I was told I had too many tickers but this is my first child I am older and excited. I did say to one thread if you think this person is crazy stop reinforcing it by posting something on their thread! They did not like that!

Thanks for your understanding. I feel like this place is cliquey and certain people being like that discourages newbies. I just don't understand why people have to be like that. Good Luck with your pregnancy and p.s your tickers are nice.

Mrs.Loria · April 2011

This obviously is NOT the place for you. Thanks for stopping by though!

BFab11 · April 2011

LOL this was fun.

TomsShugShug · April 2011

Just my two cents- When it comes to people posting, use some common sense! I don't know why people will come on here to ask a question, which is awesome, but 3 posts down is the exact same question!!!! why don't people look through at least the first page of posts to see if that question has already been asked and answered! just my 2 cents..... Oh and if you don't like the way people are on this site, nobody is making you stay. Maybe you should have lurked a little longer before you passed judgement.

aSTAR09 · April 2011

Yeah.... so... I totally think almost everyone here missed the point of your post. Its sad everyone here is "supposed" to be adults or at least adult-like. Seems like a bunch of my 7 year olds.

Which was what, exactly? Explain it to me. I'm only 7 years old!!

Glad you have such a good grasp of this message board with your one post and join date of today.

Lurk some and learn some. The reason that this hasn't gone over well for OP is because she came in hear guns blazing and middle fingers up. That wouldn't have gone well for anyone, regardless of how long they have been here. Don't know about you, but when one of the first posts I read from someone is telling me to fvck off I'm probably not going to go out of my way to be nice to them.

I was supposed be hurt by that? Oh gosh my feelings. Someone rescue me from the mean girls.

dont go! i have experienced this as well.. but there are some woman that actually give imput and care about your concerns. i had the same feeling, and actually was in tears after some rude comments. you are both going to be fine, and all i say is im just glad i dont have their pregnancy symptoms of ***...

and dont worry, by even commenting on this, im sure i will get 10 more negative posts from half of the woman looking at this now.... just ignore it. they have NOTHING to do with you and they are just bored..

if you do leave, good luck!

and caren- i saw that ticker comment on the post (that had NOTHING to do about you.. they just wanted to make fun of someone else) what a rude thing to say! im glad you are proud and excited to welcome your baby!

iluvmylab · April 2011

Ok, don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out. You and your 13 posts puts you a position to judge this board.

I agree. Also on a non-sarcastic note, baby center is awesome too.

Well I don't know what boards you are on but I have not seen any of that.

I am 32 years old and don't appreciate being told what I should do.

I am not familiar with babygaga, but if this poster is being referred over there, I'm pretty sure it ain't my kind of playground.

I'm curious what the OP expected from responses. That we should all change our ways?

Mrs.Loria · April 2011

Hyfagal · April 2011

Don't blame the website for all these bitter snatches. I feel sorry for their babies, husbands, and dogs. Not so much their cats.

BFab11 · April 2011

Ok I'm going to give a serious response now.

Yes, women here are bored. What is the internet for? To kill time. Yes, you will find snarky responses to dump comments, repetitive questions, or general stupidity. We're not going to hold everyone's hand and explain every little thing over and over. People can read; we aren't the first ones to get pregnant or the first ones to experience a particular symptom or have a certain question/concern, so it's very likely that it has been asked. I'm not saying to have to hunt through every single post, but do a quick scan of the first page of the board and see if your question is there. If it's not, ask away!

If someone is having a genuine problem or really needs support, the women here are GREAT and will have your back and give great advice. If you need a reality check, they'll give it to you. You might not like it, but if you think about it, you probably had a really dumb question.

Good luck finding somewhere where you'll be treated like the only pregnant person ever and like your concerns are of the upmost importance. If you want to be treated like a real person, stick around, but lose your attitude.
