People bought me and my son things that weren't on my registry, and I actually spontaneous combusted...so no, things did not turn out fine.

I like you.

Thanks! I am in a mood today, and between girls on other board wanting to give their dogs away, girls wanting to host their own shower under the guise of a "BabyQ", and this sheeeeit, I'm done. And I still have 5 more hours of work to go...

I didn't ask for rude or insensitive comments. Obviously I know the baby will be fine. I meant this is my first baby & experience with ALL of this. I was only looking for others experiences with registry situations.
If you are hormonal today & have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Stay off the board with your rude selves. I come on this board for advice NOT Bitchiness...
I see people (generally newbies, like yourself) mention that this board is for advice and not snark on occasion, but I'm still trying to figure out exactly WHERE it states that...
Seriously...I see people (generally "oldies" like yourself) writing rude comments to people everyday because you are unhappy with your life you want everyone else to be miserable too.
And I said I COME HERE for advice not that the board IS ONLY for advice.

I'm not sure where I was rude here. I just legitimately want to know where it says that the bump is for advice. You come here for advice, so somewhere, you got the impression that was it's purpose. I'm just trying to understand. And I've actually got a pretty good life going, so thanks, but try again.

So one of their aims was to allow parents to get advice from users. It does not say that the message boards were created to belittle parents for asking advice.

Well, now, who didn't see this one coming?

You're the newbie here...so why don't you NOT tell us to "stay off the boards." If you're looking for puppies and rainbows, might I suggest www.babygaga.com?

God, and I'm so frickin' sick of every pregnant woman blaming hormones. If someone is "mean" to her, those people are hormonal. If she gets butthurt over something small, it's because she's hormonal.

Me too! My in laws can be awfully cruel sometimes (it's not just me who notices it, so I know I'm not "hormonal"), and when I try to stand up for myself, I get called hormonal. It angers me to no end.

Where does it state the advice has to be puppies and rainbows? You were given advice, just because it wasn't telling you exactly what you wanted to hear doesn't mean it's not helpful or appropriate.

You got personalized advice, you just didn't like it.

sowingseasons · June 2012

I never said the advice had to be puppies and rainbows. I said the site was not made to belittle parents. There is a difference between that and constructive advice that may not appeal to the OP.

You must have me confused with the OP because I did not receive this personalized advice you mentioned, there for your last statement does not apply to me or make sense.

You asked where it said the site was made for advice.

"I just legitimately want to know where it says that the bump is for advice. You come here for advice, so somewhere, you got the impression that was it's purpose. I'm just trying to understand."

I just answered you.

Everything will be just fine. You'll still have your beautiful baby, even if your friends don't buy you every last thing you need for him!

This is an example of good advice. It doesn't belittle the OP but answers her question

Obviously you have me confused with the person who asked this. I didn't nor do I care what people think this site is here for. If you ask a question you are going to get all sorts of answers. If you want someone to tell you everything you do is fantastic, talk to your mother.

I rolled my eyes when the dahli lama was quoted, but they damn near fell out of my head when the tos was quoted and tried to be manipulated to prove a weak point. No where does it say that you have to agree with or like my user generated content, friend. People don't sign up and click a box that says " I agree to only tell overly sensitive women who think the world owes them everything because they managed to get ku, exactly what they want to hear".

At least I didn't.

I think that a lot of people don't buy off registries. They tend to buy what they want. Don't worry. It will turn out fine.

You are on the wrong board if you want for people not to say rude, b*tchy things to you. It seems like the majority of the women on this board spend their days scratching their forearms like heroine addicts waiting for people to rip to shreds. I think you got off easy, to be honest.

Yes, I'm bring a smartass and no, it's not hormones. It's boredom. Devil
