It really is sad that we're all here with what is likely the same purpose

It seems like you're here to boss everyone else around and try to make things happen your way. I don't think that's why any of these other ladies are here.

Agreed! Miss your face!!

Hi all,

I don't post often but the several times that I've had I've appreciated the advice that I've been given. They've all been helpful. I have to say however that I am often disappointed when I read posts and the responses that many people get here. The tone (and yes I understand that the internet has a funny way of making things seem worse) and the responses that some people give are often snide and many times flat out rude. What gives people? Yes, many of the questions that are asked by us newbies are repeats of the same questions that are asked over and over again but newsflash...everyone is new at some point and many probably asked similar if not the same questions at one point too. This is an open forum where people should be free to ask ANY question that they want with regards to trying to conceive. If it's been asked before or the answer is on the newbie link get over it. I get that everyone has bad days every now and again, who doesn't but to treat other people who are "in the same boat" of this monumental change in life is just mean. And no I'm not some sap but good grief a little respect for each other goes a long way. If you don't like the questions then the answer is simple. Don't read them. If you happen to read one and find yourself rolling your eyes then so be it just don't respond! Flame away...if asking for a little decency upsets you then your issues are likely bigger than this post.

This is an open forum where people are able to respond to dumb questions any way they wish. I was once new but I still used my brain. I find the last bolded part ironic because maybe you should follow your own advice and not read what you don't like. You aren't going to change this board so you may as well just leave!

You know what I'm tired of... Newbs like you giving the rest of us a bad name! Clearly you haven't bothered to stick around long enough to actually lurk and information gather, otherwise you would know that the post you just made was covered yesterday..... endlessly!! If you actually sat down and patiently read what these ladies have already taken the time to lay out for you, you would see that they are incredibly knowledgeable and have provided links and areas where most of our newbie questions have been answered (without snark). Yes you are entitled to post on the thread but these ladies don't need to do your homework for you - they aren't your resource, doctor, pee stick or google....... it's a support system. I've only been here a month and I already roll my eyes everytime the same 4 or 5 questions pop up more than once a day.

There's nothing I hate more than puppies (and rainbows). I hate them so much I don't kick 'em, I make 'em into coats.

Princess bishes: do you mind if I join you? I'm in need of a new fur.

Not at all. The more the merrier.

It's clear by your repsonses that you can't see past the end of your own noses.

When did Pinocchio get here? I haven't seen him in AGES.

Egh, he's a perv.

Always trying to stick his nose in other peoples' business. If you know what I mean.

Meh...different day, same old post.

This. Get over it already. We're not here to be BFF's.

Are you not loved enough at home? That's my guess.

Hmm Do you feel sorry for our husbands too?

And our future children.

Don't stress it Katie. You'll be on to a month & tri board soon enough, and most of this will be left behind. You'll notice it's the same morons pulling this sh-t, month after month, year after year. One day next year someone in your month board will post about some drama here. You'll show up. You'll see the same morons. Trust.
