There have been a few complaints about you (not on here) so I am just going to get some balls and come out and say it. We've had it with you correcting our grammar and spelling. And we've had it with you acting like you are better than everyone else. Please stop making this place so unpleasant to post in. Take this as you will but now you know how I (and a few others) feel. I hope you will take it in stride and see it as an opportunity to improve upon yourself.
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.

Re: Pook
Oh my gosh. When I said that complaints about a person should be made to that person and not to everyone but that person, I didn't mean that you should come to TB and be a jerk about it. You're currently the one making "this place so unpleasant to post in."
Pook, yes there have been complaints about you on the FB page, but there are quite a few people who have no problem with you and would like you to stick around. Fragglefan by no means has the support of all of the May mamas on this one.

Unnecessary and malicious.
The Baby Blog.
Seriously, are we still on this? Let it be.
I did not have intents to be malicious. I simply meant to make her aware of how SOME people see her. I'm not telling her she is a horrible person. I'm telling her that some of her actions are not the nicest and unappreciated.
If you think I tend to post negatively I will keep my eye on that. See how easy that is. You tell me something you don't like about how I am and I can accept that and try to see it from your eyes.

Can we just stop with the FB vs. TB thing? Please? I'm a part of both and they each have their pros and cons. I love them both.
This wasn't necessary. Pook is very nice but very honest. If she finds offense with something then she lets you know. There is NOTHING wrong with that.
This whole rivalry nonsense going on all week is just stupid and I'm over it.

Oh lord.
I feel as if this post came from a few of our comments that it was mean, immature and high schoolish to continue to 'diss' people that couldn't defend themselves. (is the word dissed still used?). I don't think a post like this is what we were pushing.
I don't agree with everything that people say or do on here, but roll your eyes and move on. Bashing people behind their backs on a facebook group makes you look like you're incredibly insecure about your own life. Posts like this make you look malicious.
Stop letting people control how you feel about yourself.
Then why not PM her and keep it private? To me this seems like you trying to be the "cool girl" from HS who has to put down others to make herself feel good.
Yup.
I didn't see it this way before, but you hit the nail on the head I think. Some people feel stronger on TB and some on FB. It's weird.
Do you honestly think I give a $hit what some members of a Facebook offshoot group thinks about my posts on here? I've been posting on the knot>nest>bump since 2005, it takes quite a bit more than that to make me stop posting or change the way I am. But I commend you for being the only one with enough balls to say it, rather than whining on FB.
It's a personal decision of mine not to vent online, ever, about my DH, LO, family or friends. So it's pretty rare that you'll ever see me complaning, anywhere. I also have this rule in real life - I just simply don't complain to my friends about other relationships, whether that is with my DH or friends. Why would I complain on the internet if I don't even do it in real life?
My life is pretty darn pleasant. I don't stress about too much, my DH, LO, friends and family are just all around great. I can't help it if I'm not all depressed and stressed out or pissy. And trust me, I have plenty of reasons to be...I just got diagnosed with Chron's disease last week....I guess I could have came on here crying about it, but I just don't let things like that get me down.
The rest of it is all real. If you take that to mean that I'm acting like I'm better than you, that's your problem. There are all different lifestyles on here. DH and I chose to wait until we'd been married awhile and got our careers settled so we could live this lifestyle with our LO. I'm not going to downgrade just because some internet people don't like it.
FWIW, I can't recall ever correcting anyone's grammar or spelling. I was educated in Oklahoma, for goodness sake, I can't even begin to pretend that my grammar is up to par. There are a couple of words I can never remember how to spell, so I just avoid using them. I used to say cafe all the time instead of restaurant, but I finally looked that one up.
Sorry I took so long to respond....I was out getting a massage. No joke! And I find it pretty hilarious that I get to respond to this particular post with that.
I agree with all of this.

And to the rest of y'all....MUWAH (that's supposed to be a big kiss....not a kiss my a$$, but a real smacker).
LO is waking up....I have to jet off to be the perfect mommy. My perfect DH is taking us out to eat. At the Cheesecake Factory, but I'll have to skip dessert since I want to keep my perfect figure.
I wasn't aware of a rivalry either. I just insinuated that the FB group is immature. This post just proved my point, I guess.
Why would you not expect me to be nice to you? I can remember two cases when I wasn't....once over your repeated BFPs, and another when you called out token when she was spot on. You took it from there. I didn't blame you for your preemie, but anyone who eats only 1500 calories per day UNpregnant gets the side eye from me. Of course you'll get it for bragging about doing it when you're pregnant. It's also pretty common knowledge that malnutrition causes IUGR, I simply pointed that out.
I would have called out anyone else on those, you didn't get it because you're special.

This is probably the dumbest thing that's happened yet. You girls are losing it. What a ridiculous attack on one of the most pleasant people here...she calls it like she sees it, big whoop.
I just wanted to let you know that I have no issue with you. And I'm sorry about the Chron's. A couple people close to me have it, and I've seen them in pretty bad states because of it. They're both used to it now, though, and doing well. Good luck on that one. And enjoy your Cheesecake Factory!
This statement gave me more respect for you, I understand not wanting to vent about DH, or LO but sometimes I think in a situation like this people would like to know that you are in fact HUMAN. This is a forum where people come to give and get advice and I think for people to feel like you are really part of the group you have to be able to do both. I think sometimes people get frustrated that you seem to only give advice and sometimes don't seem as willing to take it or see it a different way IMO. I don't always disagree with you I just think sometimes you make things more rosey than they are.
SN I do agree with elisbu telling someone they had a preemie was their fault was a little harsh. And there is a difference in malnutrition and 1500 calories a day it is about what you eat.

We were all doing pretty well not bickering when we were pregnant and I understand we are all stressed and sleep deprived.. but
Can't we all just get along?

Really? This was necessary? I don't even think she was correcting someone's earlier, she just read the word "binki" wrong.

I give advice when it's asked for. 60% of the posts are asking about STTN, which XXXX did you buy, etc. My LO STTN and I bought a lot of stuff.
It's a personal preference of mine not to ask for advice on an internet forum, but to call my mother, pedi, BFF, or someone else. The times I have asked for advice, I'm pretty sure I took it to heart and used it. I tend to PM or page the particular people I want advice from, though. For example, I asked LisaFrank for advice because she and I both do Babywise. Why would I ask in a general thread if I knew half the advice wouldn't be in line with the method we are using?
Things are pretty rosy for me. My health throughout my pregnacy until now, and having a fourth degree episiotomy are about the only things I have to complain about. I'm blessed and thankful and I honestly pray to God thanking him every single day for that.
Not everyone in the group is. Give us a try, you might like us
Yeah, I wasn't correcting them. I really thought someone shoved a bikini in a baby's mouth and I was flabbergasted as to why they chose that particular item. OOPS.
Thanks.
My cousin has it and has had a really difficult time. I think we caught mine super early, there's no real damage done yet so with medication hopefully there won't be. It's been a real pain in the arse though, literally!
L.O.L.
This makes me happy.
This.
I just got home from being out all day and haven't even had a minute to read what may or may not be going on in the FB group but seriously...
I've not had a personal issue with pook. If this is about the bikini thing, I totally read bikini as well; dressing room-bikini, the mind sees what it wants.
Either way, I'd like to just be able to come on to Both of these places and enjoy pictures of LOs, questions about sleeping, and post crazy dreams I've had. No drama anymore, mmkay?
Was there seriously an issue with BIKINI??
Good grief, I put it in all caps because I was YELLING the word, not because I was correcting anyone's spelling. I was YELLING because why would anyone put it in a baby's mouth, in a dressing room? Good thing it turned out to be a binki.
As for correcting grammar, y'all are crazy, I have no idea where that came from - I don't correct anyone's grammar.
FTR I thought the same thing. I had the same reaction as you too.
I know I shouldn't have found this funny because it's a serious issue but I admire you for not letting it get you down and being able to take it in stride. I'm glad they caught it early.

Grow up. Seriously.
To answer your question, I used the word "diss" last night and DH informed me that no one uses it anymore.
