Just clearing the air...
As some of you have mentioned, yes I am posting here now. If there are those of you reading this that don't know the backstory and want to know just for curiosity's sake then ask someone else. I'm not going to go into it because my reason for posting is not to cause any further drama.
I just want you all to know that I do plan to post here because my babies were born in May. If you don't like me being here then please do me and everyone else a favor and just ignore me. I find TB to be an invaluable source of information and I don't plan on leaving.
Anyway, that's all I really have to say. If you truly have a concern or have any specific questions for me please don't leave them on the board because that will just make more drama (which I know no one wants). PM me and I'll answer your questions or address your concerns to the best of my ability.
(I'm sorry if the way I worded or said anything above sounded snarky, defensive or rude. It wasn't intended that way at all. Despite some of the things that have been said about me, I really am a nice person in general.)

Re: Just clearing the air...
This! Welcome!!!
This! And anyone who believes she s here for information is a bigger idiot than her. You have all been warned. Decide as you will but I'm appalled you people "welcome" a person of her nature voluntarily living in a volatile situation.
I should've known when I made this post that the June trolls would come over here and start trouble.
Just FYI (and another reminder), this is a public board, but dissemination of my private personal information is against the TOS.
The women on this board have said here and a week or so when all of the June moms flooded over here and started trouble that they don't want the drama. I am not trying to take part in anymore drama, I'm just trying to move on....so why don't you all do the same?
P.S. If I weren't a nice person you wouldn't have sent me your money (FACT), and I sure as he!! wouldn't have offered to give it back, which I did and I will. But yeah....seriously go on about your business
Can we have a moderator just delete this, and all of the others that are floodig our board?
We have a peaceful forum here and I don't care who posts or where they came from. I'm sorry some people got scammed or whatever it was that happened (I've spared myself), but truth be told, even I could be an axe murderer for all you know. (I'm not, though :P) Welcome to the internet!
This is my peaceful place to come after a dramatic day. I'm sick of seeing these stupid threads!
This...
and btw... Allison, you have a PM
Nope, I do not think anyone is an idiot - especially not myself. Allisonmarie22 is very crafty in getting people to think she is a nice person, but the truth will come out. It is not that she misused funds, it is that she lied. Her broke situation was due to a very disgusting circumstance and had we known what that was we never would have donated.
However, that is not the May board's problem at all. We just wish to warn you all of her behavior, as I wish someone had warned me.
Oh, yeah, it is also against TOS to keep creating new versions of your profile when you are banned. Allisonmarie22v2 has been banned, so now version 3 is popping up.
And I am also a May mommy, Allisonmarie22v3. I don't wish any discord related to you to happen to them.
YGPM back.
Has she set up a living situation that the vast majority of us would not choose for ourselves? Yes. That's been established...multiple times. I can not change that, nor am I going to try. I have my own life to live. Does that void her of having legitimate questions regarding her babies? No. As far as I'm concerned, we are all in control of what we provide her with. I personally will only provide information (no money, gifts, etc). Nothing personal against her, but that is my decision for anyone on here (sorry, ladies!). So if she is in fact here for something more than information, then it's safe to assume that she probably won't get it, and I'm willing to bet she has already figured that out. With that being said, I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. If she has legitimate questions, then to the best of my ability I will provide legitimate answers or opinions. No harm in sharing knowledge. Lord knows none of us have all the answers.
I'm a May mom who's been here for nearly a year and have no interest in having you as a part of this board. On the Tri boards I always found you to be a bully, that you love to ridicule other posters and you and your friends would gang up on anyone who asked a 'stupid' question or offended your sensibilities. You also make everything about you and monopolize the board. We are a bunch of chill, low-key mamas and I don't want that here.
I will admit that in the past I was a bully, but it's weird how becoming a mom changes a person and makes them want to be better. I'm not always perfect, nor do I pretend to be, and I am, by nature, a snarky and sometimes sarcastic individual. However, I have done what I can to make things right with the June moms (apologized for withholding details about my husband they feel were pertinent AND offered to send them back their money...which I never asked for in the first place), and that's all I can do. All I'm saying is that I'm here. I wanted to clear the air and that's what I did.
With that being said, if you don't like me and don't want to interact with me then you can feel free to ignore me as I suggested.
Have a nice day.
Quite honestly, there's no bed to be made. It's a public internet forum. There are no barriers of who can and can't see what we post, we havent committed to some long term relationship, and we haven't let her in on some secret handshake. We can only control what we post and what we respond to. If somebody doesn't want to respond to her or if she posts something snarky, then it can easily be scrolled over. Simple as that.
im pretty much with you Potomac. I will ignore you, Allison, as I will anyone who tries to bring drama here. In return, I'm asking you be easy to ignore. Don't bring no drama that won't be no drama.

All of this. Nobody has to post on a board to get access to the photos or what is written here. It is the internet, whatever you post here you willingly share with the world (creeps and pervs included). We can't stop somebody from posting we can only accept that she's here and for now not causing any problems. The moment she or anybody does, you just have to ignore it because it is the INTERNET. Just like some June moms posted here saying "it's the internet, anybody can post"; this goes both ways unfortunatly. All you can do if you don't agree with her as a person is don't look, don't respond; and if there is drama, don't feed the troll. That's it.
Finally, a few voices of reason.
So...part of the big issue is that I "lied" to people about my husband's past, and you are now suggesting I should try and lie about who I am? Is that just so I can be outted accused of being a liar...again?? Ummm...no, but thank you for suggesting it...
Also, for the love of GOD in heaven, I did NOT "dupe" anyone into sending me money. I was and still am grateful for what was done, but I did not ask for it. I am also, as I keep saying over and over again, willing to give the money back to anyone who lets me know they want it.
I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of who my husband is, because despite popular opinion, I am not married to a pedophile. I am not ashamed of the way I conducted myself. I am not ashamed of my life and I am not ashamed of my decisions.
I promised the people on this board that I wouldn't cause drama, so if you have anything further to say then please PM it to me. Also, I'm sorry, but I don't remember if we were on good terms or not. Your username is familiar, but I wasn't on TB very much at all for the last few months of my pregnancy/first few months of my babies lives (which leaves me wondering how exactly it was that I was "a terrible jerk" to people here for my "entire pregnancy" as you suggested above), and I have a hard time matching up usernames to real life names and/or remembering who I interacted with on TB vs. FB.
Why are you staying on the bump? There are other sites you can go to for advice If you really wanted to avoid the drama you would find another site. Babycenter.com has boards that you might enjoy. I suggest you go there, and leave are peaceful board alone.
If you insist on staying I will be ignoring you. Please do not respond to any of my future posts. I am not interested if your advice. Thanks.
Well, aren't you a peach. I may forget at some point and respond to one of your posts by accident. Maybe you should just use the block feature, so you don't have to see me or my posts at all. That way none of us have to worry about it.
Oh, and I stay here because I like these boards. I don't care for the Babycenter boards. Besides if I went over there I am CERTAIN that some "well meaning" jerkface would go over there and call me a pedowife and the drama would all just start again. Yeah, no thanks.
Like I said, if you don't like me and plan to ignore me and don't want my advice then just block me. You could've just done that in the first place without making the post above, but I guess that would've been too low key. Can't have that.
