August 2011 Moms
You should be ashamed of yourselves!!
I was bored today so I went on some of the TTGP boards and TTC boards. I agree that some of the posts are silly questions and I too think to myself "really?" but for some of us to make fun of them is so immature. I'm assuming we are all adults on here. We were lucky enough to have the babies we wanted and had no trouble concieving them and to purposely go on other boards for your personal entertainment just to make fun is sad. Especially the same people who themselves had trouble having a baby on their own. It's crap like that that makes me not want to be on the bump anymore! I'm sure I misspelled a couple of words here so go head bullies make fun. There I'm done.

*ahead
Then why are you posting this here, if it isn't our board that is bullying?.... I don't get it.

this. and OP...who are you??
No one is being a bully around here-trust me they were run off this board quite some time ago. What the poster was saying is that basically if they want a good read thats where the go because there is always something new and something different compared to what we see regularly on this board.
No one is making fun of anyone. If you were on here more regularly or participated in our evening chats you would realize that. So before you start pointing your finger and saying your shame on you's get to know the crowd first.
GBCB!!
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
I wasn't trying to be mean. It just seemed to me that the only reason you were posting this was to start drama.

I don't think you've been around long enough to realize how the boards work. New posters typically start out in TTGP or 1st Tri. Some can post some stupid crap.
Like...
The woman who posted wanting to know if she hurt her baby because she ate a fingernail sized bite of feta cheese...and then made herself throw up.
Or the woman who was TTC at 18 wanting to know if she could ask her guests at her wedding to pay for their own food at her Golden Corral reception.
There's always the woman wondered if she could get pregnant with Irish twins by having sex during the first trimester.
Or those that claim they felt the instant the sperm met the egg.
Most of the time there's no drama on TTGP or 1st tri, but when there is, it can be rather entertaining. That's what was referred to in the previous thread. I just don't think you've been around long enough to appreciate a really good read.
I'm assuming that this is in response to my lighthearted post about the first trimester boards.
Sorry, but I stand by what I said. If you come here with a question no matter how dumb you think it is, I will offer up whatever advice I can. Lord knows I have had some silly questions as I try to navigate through being a new mom.
BUT if you come on the bump asking...."Here are all these signs, do you think I might be pregnant??!!" I will laugh at you. Pee on a stick, go to the doctor.
I am not a bully.
a recap of my favorite threads.
Really? Then why chastise a group of people you don't know and tell them they should be "ashamed" of themselves? What did you think was going to happen?
Honestly, it's the internet. If you don't like what someone wrote, close the post and turn off the computer.

CHEESEBURGER VAGINA!!! That's all...
It's probably an unpopular opinion of mine but...if it annoys you, then don't get on the Bump all the time...
People who look for social reassurance from this website (perhaps by bullying) are silly anyway.
Some people do post really interesting questions. By interesting I mean stupid. And they shouldn't take it to heart if people are snarky. That being said, I also agree some people take it to a whole new level.
All in all I think this site is nice to connect w/ other moms and ask questions that you are genuinely wondering about. But when you post on here asking about cheeseburger vagina you can't expect for everyone to give you a serious answer.
Yea..I'm all for being helpful but everyone knows a good amount of the time, people come on here asking ridiculous questions just to get a rise out of people and start some drama.
I can't believe anyone else on here was around for that! lol
Whoa-ho-ho! No one here said we were going to those boards and messing with people. We said we go to those boards to simply READ the drama-filled posts. No one is being a "bully" or try to start stuff. You are mistaken.
And yes-- I should be ashamed of myself for enjoying entertaining posts!
:::puts out hands waiting for smack:::
Really, you must be pretty new here if you don't understand the way these boards work. If you choose to ask a dumb question, you get dumb answers. And no one's even touched on the amount of MUD on boards like TTGP-of COURSE they get silly answers.
If you decide to actively participate in discussions, getting to know the people on your home board(s), then your questions get answered and you have a good experience with TB. However, if you are super sensitive to random people on the internet, then I suggest NOT being on an internet message board.
ditto.
And I think most of us here have either
a) posted something dumb & got snarky answers
b)posted a snarky response to something
c)not thought something through before posting
d) thought someone else was an idiot for posting something, closed it & looked away
or of course, all of the above. Which I have honestly done.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that this group of ladies is particularly nice & forgiving. So what if we like to read other peoples' snark? Is anyone here perfect? Please raise your hand if so.
I know you say you've been around for awhile but it really doesn't seem that way. If you had been you'd know that only part of your comment is correct. I am extremely fortunate to finally have my little girl after 14 months of TTC and a miscarriage. Your blanket statement does not cover some of us on this board. Your 30-some post level also indicates that you rarely participate on this board - or others for that matter. So please spare me the lecture. If you fully participated in TTGP (as I did for quite awhile), you would know that some posters can be out of line BUT others are amazing. Without the support of that board and the regulars that were there when I was going through a very hard time, I don't know what I would have done.
So either take the bad with the good or just don't go there at all. Easy fix.
Finally a little fire in our board, put a little spice in the day...
Sorry, couldn't resist
